Absolutely.
The American Sailing Association (ASA) is globally recognized, and your certifications qualify you for bareboat charters around the world.
Even better — once you complete ASA 104, you’re eligible to apply for the International Proficiency Certificate (IPC), the equivalent of Europe’s ICC, required for chartering in many Mediterranean waters.
With Sailing Virgins in Greece, you're earning credentials respected worldwide, while building the real-world experience charter companies care about most.
Whether you dream of sailing the Greek Islands, Croatia, Italy, or beyond — your ASA certification opens doors.

Greece isn’t just a place to sail — it’s where sailors are made.
