Skipper’s license

Schiffsführerausweis

I would like to obtain my boatmaster’s license, what do I have to do?

You can start the practical lessons before the theory test.

However, if you want to take the practical test, you first need to take the theory test and then the letter of authorization (only for non-cantonal students) from the shipping office of your canton of residence. Information at: www.vks.ch

In order to obtain the Swiss boat license category A (for motorboats with more than 6kw propulsion power, Lake Constance: 4.4kw) or category D (for sailboats with more than 15m² sail area, Lake Constance: 12m²), you must pass the theory test. The theory test is the same for both the sailing license and the motorboat license.
