"Classic" sailing license D
From 14 years old, in private or group lessons (2 or 3 people)
from 990 .- / person
for 22 hours of training
Practical training
The appointments for the courses are on the Port of Bouveret.
The practice area is at Bouveret Bay.
The scope can be extended depending on the duration of the course and the opportunities offered by the weather.
The duration of the course can vary from 1h30 to 3h.
It is possible to schedule several hours on the same day (with a break between two lessons).
Depending on your availability and your wishes, it is possible to do the training more or less intensively and to condense the lessons over short periods. It takes minimum about ten sessions of two hours to prepare for the license, but this can vary depending on the skills of each.
Training and theoretical exam
Like when you pass your driving license, there is a "traffic code" for the boat that you must know in order to sail as a good sailor and comply with the regulations in force on our Swiss lakes. You are autonomous in this learning even if we will approach from time to time concepts directly related to navigation.
Even if it is possible to start the practical courses before passing the theoretical exam, we advise you to start to revise the theory at least 2 months before the start of the practical training. Indeed, you must successfully pass your theoretical exam before you can register for the practical exam. See terms at the bottom of the page in administrative formalities .

The concept
Pro nautisme offers you sailing license training based on group dynamics.
It is a question of working in a team but also of empowering each individual within the crew.
You will have to gradually develop your confidence and your leadership (In management, leadership is the ability to mobilize the resources of employees to achieve the objectives set) while ensuring group cohesion, the management of the sailboat and the correct execution of maneuvers.
The instructor will give you the procedure to follow beforehand and will give you the keys to understand the reason for your successes or your mistakes as you learn.
You will work in pairs and we will build step by step, depending on the wind data and the type of weather we will meet, the conditions for your progress and your understanding of how the sailboat works.

When you plan to take your sailing or motor license, the first procedure is to register at your place of residence office which will tranmit your file to your navigation service. You will have to carry out the requested exams (sight, hearing). To do this, download the form for your canton below. Once the documents have been returned to the department concerned, you can register for the theoretical exam.
For a Vaudois or a Genevan, It is possible to take the PRACTICAL exam with us in Valais but you must ask for an exemption from your SAN.
