Boat license
Get your boating licence in Marseille, right on the Old Port, and discover maritime navigation on motorboats, jet skis, day or night, with a power of more than 6 hp, less than 6 miles from a shelter, i.e. almost 12 km.
How does the coastal option boating licence course work in Marseille?
There are three parts to the coastal option boating licence course in Marseille:
The theoretical ‘code’ lessons take place at our premises at 23 Quai de Rive Neuve 13007 Marseille.
- Saturdays from 09:00 to 17:00
- Monday to Tuesday from 18:00 to 21:00
The courses consist of a purely theoretical part, as well as a practical part in the classroom where we study the map and concrete cases of navigation.
The theory exam takes place in an approved centre such as ‘La Poste’.
40 multiple-choice questions, with a maximum of 5 errors allowed. This exam lasts 20 minutes but will take about an hour.
Practical driving lessons take place at the Vieux Port, during the week or on weekends.
You will need to spend a minimum of 2 hours at the helm. Our boats are well maintained, with all the comforts you could hope for (navigation instruments, GPS, VHF-DSC, depth sounder, closed and heated cabin in case of low temperatures).
There is no final exam; it is the boat school trainer who validates the skills acquired by the candidate for the Marseille boating licence.
