More and more people manage to obtain the necessary documentation to start sailing. The Ministry of Development and Infrastructure has issued 4,514 nautical titles so far this year, more than double the 2,000 registered last year. The general director of Mobility and Coast, Marina Munuera, highlights this figure and recalls that the call for exams to obtain these accreditations already broke a record last year.
“We have issued more than double the number of titles for the management of recreational nautical vessels thanks to the fact that we made a great effort to organize the theoretical exams so that they complied with all the security measures required in the pandemic,” Munuera maintains. “We were the first autonomy to take up the necessary tests to achieve these titles.”
The pleasure craft skipper title (PER) has been the most requested, with a total of 3,140 accreditations. These are used to govern pleasure boats, motor and sail, up to 15 meters in length and adequate engine power, for navigations between the coast and the 12-mile line parallel to it, as well as inter-island navigation in the archipelagos.
