Frequently asked questions about getting a boating licence

You need a boating licence if you sail a fast motorboat (faster than 20 km/h) or a boat longer than 15 metres. Additional requirements also often apply on larger waters.

Sailing licence 1 is for boating on inland waterways, rivers and lakes. Sailing licence 2 is required for larger waters, such as the IJsselmeer, Markermeer and the Wadden Sea.

The theory exam consists of multiple-choice questions on boating rules, safety, signs, navigation and right of way situations. The exam is conducted at the CBR.
The boating licence does not require a practical exam. However, many people do choose to gain extra practical experience so that they go out on the water with more confidence.

Among other things, you will learn the rules of navigation, how to recognise signs and buoyage, how to manoeuvre safely and how to assess risks on the water. The focus is on comprehensible learning, not cramming.
