American Sailing’s IPC is mainly meant for countries that do not accept the UNECE's ICC (International Certificate of Competency) but still want certified proof of Bareboat competency. These countries for the most part are in Mediterranean waters. Charter companies in the following countries have been known to accept American Sailing's IPC:
Belarus, Croatia, France, Italy, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey.
NOTE: We highly recommend you check with your charter company before you book the charter to know whether or not they will accept the IPC as proof of bareboat competency.
