When the weather's nice, it's time to get out on the water again. It's the perfect time to think about a boating license.
To obtain your coastal option license, you need to take a course at an approved boat school. This includes theoretical courses on safety at sea, navigation, meteorology and maritime regulations, as well as practical courses on board a boat.
To enroll for this course, you must be at least 16 years old. Once you've completed the training, you'll need to pass both a theory and a practical exam to obtain your coastal option license. The theory test consists of a multiple-choice questionnaire on maritime regulations, safety at sea, navigation and meteorology. The practical exam consists of a sea outing with an examiner, during which your navigation, maneuvering and safety skills are assessed.
If you pass both exams, you'll get your coastal option license, which allows you to sail up to 6 miles from a shelter, i.e. up to a maximum distance of 6 miles from a shelter, with a motorized pleasure boat of more than 6 horsepower.
