Course to obtain your sailing license in Madrid

Do you want to start sailing on rental boats or are you going to buy a small boat? The Navigation License is the fastest and easiest way to get started in the nautical world. In addition, you will get it in just six hours and without having to take an exam.
The training is given by the leading recreational nautical school in Madrid and approved by the General Directorate of Merchant Marine, which offers you this course to obtain your Navigation License.
This navigation license will enable you to take pleasure boats up to 6 meters in length and navigate a maximum distance of 2 miles from the coast during the day. You can also drive any type of jet ski (no power limit) as established by Royal Decree 238/2019.
To obtain this navigation license it is not necessary to have any other previous license (equivalent to the old Titulín). The only requirement is to be over 16 years old and obtain a psychotechnical certificate.

Plan

The course consists of two parts: a theoretical training of 2 hours and another practical training of 4 hours.

The whole course, both theory and practice, takes place in the San Juan reservoir, located one hour from Madrid. The theory is normally taught on land, on the shore of the reservoir, and practice on a school ship, sailing in the reservoir, where all exercises and maneuvers will be performed.

The course program is established in the regulations governing the obtaining of nautical degrees. You will learn safety issues on board and take the helm of the boat to learn about the different maneuvers. You will learn to anchor, to dock and to undo, to tie a buoy, to react in case of man to the water and other questions of interest, collected in the official program.

Once you make the reservation in Sailwiz, you will receive all the information of the meeting point and the contact telephone of the employer.

Great treatment and quality. Despite the fact that in practice we had a problem with the engine and had to suspend it shortly after starting, they gave us all kinds of facilities to find another date and be able to do it. It is what you look for in a school, that when something is not going well, that there are facilities

Once the license is obtained, how often do I have to renew it?
- The Navigation License does not expire. You will need to obtain a psychotechnical certificate when obtaining it, but unlike nautical qualifications, the license is valid forever.

Where do you get the psychotechnical certificate? How much does it cost?
- Once you have enrolled in the course, we will send you the information of the medical centers with which we have an agreement, the cost is 35 euros.
  However, if none of them are convenient for you due to their location, you can do it at any driver recognition center (each center establishes its price).

Do you have time in this course to learn to drive a boat? How many students are there per group?
- It gives the time that they can give 3 hours more less on the boat, more quality and commitment from the teacher cannot be asked for but three hours give what they give.
  Regarding the group, we were only 4 people, for my part, everything was perfect, except the weather, but there you can't blame anyone.
