Our training course prepares you for the practical motorboat license examination. During the lessons, we will cover all the maneuvers and exercises required by the authorities, including coming alongside, man-overboard procedures, buoy pickup, communication with the crew, nautical terminology, and more. The number of hours required to prepare for the license depends on your initial level, the regularity of your lessons, and your learning progress. We will recommend the best options for you, taking all these factors into account.

A license is required to operate a motorboat with an engine power of more than 6 kW. The minimum age requirement is 18.

Our lessons take place on RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) with our certified instructors.

A supportive learning environment, passionate instructors, and training accessible to everyone: learn with confidence and at your own pace.

While you are taking your first lessons, practice for your theoretical exam with our partners Boatdriver. Boatdriver has exceeded expectations as to preparing students for the exam.

Steps towards the motorboat license

⚓ We will then tailor a program according to your level, your availability and your needs. These lessons can be taken before, during and/or after passing the theoretical exam. As soon as you have an estimation of how many classes you will need, you can integrate your lessons to one of our packs.

⚓ Meanwhile, you will need to subscribe to the Office cantonal des véhiculescontact and registration form here. To prepare the theoretical exam, we recommend the following app Boat Driver, which has proven its efficiency among our students.

⚓ Ready? Need a few more classes? We are supporting you along your learning journey, and we will book your practical exam date when you are ready and feel confident. The day of the exam, we will practice for one additional hour right before the exam so you can assess the weather condtions and feel comfortable. Ready? Let’s do this!
