Yes absolutely. This is the highlight of this course. You start the intensive sailing license course on Friday and on Monday - the 4th day - you complete the cantonal practical skipper's examination Cat. D for sailing ships. The exam takes place from 1 p.m. and takes about 1 hour per person.

Although we have a success rate of over 90%, we cannot guarantee that you will pass the cantonal practical exam on the first attempt. We sail in the best wind area of ​​Lake Zurich, but we are not wind gods and cannot guarantee that there will always be enough wind for your course or test. Our success guarantee also serves as a price guarantee. If it doesn't work on the first attempt or an exam is postponed, we bear the risk. The course flat rate limits your costs and protects you from additional expenses. As part of the guarantee of success, we assume any additional expenses that may arise. The only requirement is that you follow our instructions and those of the sailing instructor. Then it works in over 90% of cases.

We actively monitor the weather and wind forecasts as it is important for us to have enough wind for sailing. In spring and autumn we also take minimum temperatures into account for safety reasons. We will proactively inform you of this information so that we can make a decision together if there is any uncertainty. With the intensive sailing license course you benefit from the opportunity to sail uninterrupted all day, which means that the probability of sufficient wind is significantly higher. Additionally, we have two full batteries for our electric motor to go where the wind is if necessary. With the intensive sailing license course you are also protected by the guarantee of success. If course days have to be postponed due to wind conditions or additional lessons/days as well as repetition or additional exercises become necessary, we will be happy to organize this for you and all additional or additional services will of course be at our expense.

YES, sure! This happens very often. Even if this is not a fundamental right, the canton of Schwyz and many other cantons are very liberal and cooperative in this regard, so that the practical skipper's examination is open to anyone interested, regardless of which canton they live in. So everyone is welcome here. All you have to do is submit an application for an examination outside the canton to your canton of residence, together with your registration for the practical examination. We will of course help you with the procedure with helpful links and information.

Yes, unless you already have a motorboat license. Because the theory for sailboats and motorboats are identical. In order to register for the cantonal practical sailing license test, you must either complete the theory test beforehand or you have the motorboat driving license, in which case you do not need to repeat it. Theory exams are valid for two years. Since the practical test is completed at the end of the intensive sailing license course, it is mandatory to take part in this course. Private or group courses that focus individually and specifically on your needs and goals are excluded.

Basically nothing special or that isn't already available. It is enough if you use existing hiking or cycling clothing. Clean sneakers (that you don't wear to the boat). Of course, it is also a question of the season, comfort and your wallet. In principle, nothing is mandatory. You can do a lot if you want. We are happy to help you with tips and tricks.
