This is about the Bahamas, but I'm posting here because this is where most bareboat skippers hang out.
I understand that beginning in October, in order to charter a bareboat in the Bahamas, the skipper must have evidence of competency in the form of certifications (International Proficiency Certificate, ASA 104 completion) or licenses (USCG license), and not just sailing resumes.
Can anyone point me to the actual law? Is there any published info on why they decided to require this?
Trying to understand why the Bahamian government would exclude so many potential bareboat skippers with plenty of experience.
Any guidance would be very helpful!
