Offshore

An offshore license is an extension of a coastal license. Compared to the coastal license, it allows piloting at sea, a pleasure boat with motor without limitation of power and distance.

In addition to the advantages and prospects offered by an offshore license, this coastal license extension allows you to learn how to use maps and navigation tools, such as the compass and the CRAAS ruler, to be able to find your bearings and navigate without moving electronic instruments. Specifically, the permit guarantees the feeling of the sea, allowing you to always know where you are, to notice it and to plan the route to follow. You will also learn how to calculate the tides, predict the weather and understand some safety rules on board.
