Yacht Driver

The technical operation of yachting is simple and easy, but the ability to hit the road is much more complicated. The so-called work is outside the "poem"!
Let's talk about driving and licensing first. Simple yachting skills are very simple and easy to learn. Of course, this refers to small and medium-sized yachts, and large yachts have to spend some time driving. The driving of yachts in Western countries is generally divided into two levels, namely primary and senior two. Both captain and engineer are two-tiered.
Training and licensing are generally conducted by government-designated private commercial organizations, which can assist you in obtaining a powered boat license as long as you are over 16 years old and medically qualified. However, unless you have boating experience, most people with a license are unable to sail on their own. That is why I recommend that anyone preparing to qualify as a yachtsman, before enjoying the unrestrained pleasure of sailing, must attend the practical courses offered by the senior captain, and the yacht agency of choice of the average shipowner is also obliged to provide such services.
Part of China's maritime bureau itself has the training of the captain engineer, the maritime bureau also has the designated entrusted maritime agency training, in order to obtain a yacht driver's license is best to participate in some professional maritime boat business organization training.
Water transportation is different from ground transportation, the training programs are many and complex, and the examination requirements are relatively strict.  These regulations have taken the first step towards yacht maritime, and will certainly be upgraded to areas such as sea area and sea power in the future.
Taking Shanghai as an example, the Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration has formulated and promulgated the "Management Measures for the Training, Examination and Certification of Yacht Drivers", which stipulates that the yacht driving license examination is divided into theoretical part and practical part (referred to as the pen section and the technical section). Private persons must receive special training before taking the examination of the maritime department. The training time is at least half a month, and the real private yacht license needs to wait for another two months. And because of the different waterways in different parts of the water, the current issued yacht driver's license is often limited to local use, to achieve mutual recognition of driver's licenses, national general, but also wait for a period of time.
In addition to the problem of driver's license training and assessment to be standardized, the buyers of yachts are also facing a series of difficulties such as channel opening, port construction, standard inspection, and water rescue.
