Learn to boat —
explained clearly.
Learn the theory for the motorboat licence category A free — with practice questions, a mock exam and tips from Thomas that make sense without bureaucratic jargon. You then do the practical part with us out on the lake.
Boat & Basic Terms
Starboard, port, windward and leeward — the language on board so everyone's talking about the same thing.
Give-Way & Right of Way
Who gives way to whom? The order of precedence on the water — the heart of the exam.
Shore Zones & Navigation Rules
150 metres, 300 metres — where you're allowed to travel and how, and why the shore is especially protected.
Safety on Board
Life-saving equipment, storm warnings, man overboard — what keeps you and your guests safe on the way home.
Knot Knowledge
The exam knots: what they do, when you need them — and how to make sure they hold.
Duties & Environment
Alcohol, licences, consideration and nature conservation — the rules every boat operator must know.
Weather & Hazards
Wind, thunderstorms, fog — the weather on the lake changes quickly. Here's how to read the signs in time.
Signals & Signs
Sound signals, boards and the distress signal — what you need to hear and show.
Lights & Night Navigation
Which lights vessels carry at night — and how to recognise what's coming towards you.
Boat, Engine & Equipment
Mandatory equipment, fuel, and basic troubleshooting — so you don't get stranded.
Docking, Anchoring & Harbours
Casting off and docking, anchoring correctly, conduct in the harbour and in the fairway.
Accident & First Aid
What to do when something happens — obligations, reporting, providing assistance.
Navigation & Fairway
Charts, buoys and markers, determining your position — finding your way on the water.
