yacht


My husband has just brought a small 23ft yacht and it needs to have a revamp inside and out,the boat has been out of the water for just over a year and the survey said it was in very good condition, the hull needs to have “anti-foul” put on before it goes back into the water, (it is GRP construction). What is the best way to do this and what preparation do we need to do?

What kind of licence and certification and training would I need to drive a 57 foot yacht, and a 160 ft yacht?

yacht


I am just wondering if there is any kind of certification and training that I would need to drive a 57 and 160 foot motor yacht, is it just like drivers education except for boats?

Thanks
oh….so I need experience? All i want is a party yacht…im not going to go across the ocean or anything..just around the bay that I live on. Do I still need this licence?
And it would be my personal yacht, not for a company
Oh I only meant this for recreation, not for a career. I mean I want to buy a yacht, not work on one :p

I just want it to be on my dock so I can take it out with my family when ever we want.
