Do I need an SLC License?
If you are planning to charter a boat outside of the United States and the Caribbean, you will likely be required to present an International Sailing License. The NauticEd International Bareboat Charter License - SLC, is widely recognized by many countries and charter companies, making it easier for sailors to charter boats and explore new sailing destinations.
NauticEd SLC Checklist
Bareboat Charter Master & SLC Assessment
Students looking to obtain a NauticEd Bareboat Charter Master with SLC - International Sailing Credential - are required to demonstrate their skills during an on-water assessment. The assessment takes about 6-8 hours (depending on the number of participants), on board a boat provided by the instructor or by the student (see notes below). The assessment will take place on board the boat while docked in the marina (or moored) and underway, as well as a written exam on navigation and rules of the road.

The assessment shall take place on board a sloop larger than 30’ equipped with an operating motor, VHF, a galley, a head, all safety equipment required by the USCG, and navigation instruments such as: depth finder, wind instrument, GPS, etc.

Should the student be able to provide such a vessel approved by the instructor, then the instructor will perform the assessment on board that vessel as long as the commute distance and time (up to 30 miles from Jersey City/up to an hour commute by public transportation). Travel expenses may apply.

Should the student require a rental vessel, then the instructor will provide a vessel docked at Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City, at a cost of $500/day.
