Sailing School

A lesson usually lasts two hours. In our experience, this is the ideal duration for learning quickly and efficiently.

Without prior knowledge, you can expect to reach exam readiness in private lessons after 8–10 sessions (16–20 hours).

As soon as you want to operate a sailboat with a sail area of 15 square meters or more on lakes or rivers (inland waters), you need the D-license.

The sailing license (D-license) is valid on all Swiss lakes, rivers, and border waters, as well as on most lakes and rivers worldwide. Upon request, you can exchange the Swiss license for an International Certificate of Competence.

Lessons take place in all weather conditions, except during storm warnings or thunderstorms. You can rely on our ocean-ready training boats and experienced instructors in any weather!

A first aid course is not required for the inland sailing license (D license).

No prior experience is necessary. Our team will patiently introduce you to the boat and its unique characteristics, helping you develop a passion for water sports. During the lessons, you will learn everything essential to safely operate a sailboat.

The lessons are structured so that the experience you gain with us will prepare you successfully for the exam. It is not necessary to practice on another boat. However, certain exam components, such as knots and right-of-way rules, can be practiced additionally at home.

Of course, we will practice with you in the exam area to help build greater confidence.

Yes, that is possible and even common. You can start sailing lessons at any time, even without having passed the theory exam or holding a learner’s permit. However, you must pass the theory exam in order to register for the practical test.

Please wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the temperature, and a waterproof jacket and pants in case of rain. If needed, you can borrow a waterproof jacket and pants from us. Don’t forget sun protection!
