Ted Blenkers What are the differences between the powers of the PPER and those of the Yacht Captain PRO?

The PPER A can sail as a professional in motor boats of up to 24 meters in length and up to 60 miles of the coast with 12 passengers (plus the crew), in addition, as for training it can be an instructor of homologated practices of recreational titles : LN, GNP and PER.

On the other hand, PPER B has the same powers as PPER A but can also separate up to 150 miles from the coast and teach Radio practices in the PNB and PER courses.

The PPER B is obtained by performing an additional STCW General Operator course of the SMSSM.

The Yacht Captain PRO can professionally navigate motor and sail boats up to 24 meters in length with a maximum of 6 passengers (crew included) within a 5 mile radius of the base port.

You can also make transfers of vessels, without passengers, between ports throughout the country reaching a maximum distance of 5 miles in parallel to the coast.
