The International Certificate for Operators of Pleasure Craft (ICC) was established under resolution No. 40 of the Working Party on Inland Water Transport for the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. The aim of the ICC is to provide boat owners and people wishing to charter boats with an internationally recognised document certifying their competence to skipper a boat for recreational use. In Ireland, Irish Sailing the national governing body for sailing and powerboating are the issuing authority for ICCs.
Assuming successful completion of the assessment we will issue you with an ICC course report form. This is then used as proof of competency when making the application to Irish Sailing. Full details on the application process and fees due are available here.

Really lovely staff, super friendly. Would highly recommend the kayak and paddle board rentals! Great with a small group or big group.
Came here with my mom for a stand up paddle board rental, the staff went above and beyond to be super friendly and the experience was great and good value!
