SBF See / Week Course / In-person or Online

This page was translated automatically from German. View the original

You want to head out to sea with a boat that has an engine of more than 15 hp? For that you need an SBF See.

Course structure
So that you always steer the right course in future, we'll teach you in our lessons everything you need to pass the examination – and much more besides. The week course is packed with theory. Sounds dry? Not with us. We design the lessons to be practical, practising navigation intensively on the training charts (extracts). Each course participant has their own chart extract in front of them to practise on – that way you'll learn navigation exactly as you'll experience it later in reality when sailing or motor boating on the Baltic Sea or other seas.
It's important to us that you've mastered the topics confidently by the end of the course, that you really understand the content and don't just memorise the question papers for the examinations.

Motor boat practical training SBF See
We'll prepare you optimally for the examination. This also includes two driving sessions on the sailing school's own motor boat "Möwe", which are already included in the course fee. During motor boating you'll learn how to handle a motor boat with 80 hp. We'll practise, among other things, compass navigation, man-overboard manoeuvres and safe berthing and casting off.

For whom? Scope of SBF See
The SBF See is aimed at people who want to travel on the sea, coastal waters and maritime shipping routes (e.g. Trave up to Lübeck) with an engine (more powerful than 15 hp). The minimum age is 16 years; the examination can be taken three months before your 16th birthday.

Schedule
Our SBF See courses take place as evening courses, at weekends or as week courses. The practical training takes place on the sailing school's own motor boat "Möwe" on the Trave. You can choose the dates for the two driving sessions included in the course fee freely; you'll receive the details when you register.
The teaching times for theory are Monday to Friday from 09:30 to 13:30

Venue
Our theory courses in Lübeck take place in our training room at Wakenitzufer 11. You can also participate online live in the lessons without restrictions. Individual evenings can also be recorded should the timing not suit.

Notes
For the course you need navigation instruments and the training chart extracts. You'll receive a course manual and the examination questions from us. If you'd like, you can order the necessary teaching materials when you register and they'll be ready for you at the start of the course.

To participate in an examination for the SBF See, the following criteria must be met:

Minimum age 16 years (earliest examination at 15 years and 9 months)
Fitness "Medical certificate for sport boat licence applicants"
(How and where to get this? We'll discuss that when you register)
Presentation of a valid driving licence or certificate of good conduct
(Waived for minors).
