The Sportbootf\u00fchrerschein Binnen (SBF Binnen)<\/b><\/span> is the official German boating licence for inland waters \u2013 i.e. for rivers, lakes and canals within Germany. It is required as soon as you wish to operate a motorised boat with more than 15 PS (11.03 kW)<\/b><\/span> engine power on inland waterways. This includes most major waterways, from the Rhine and Elbe to extensive lakes and canals. Unlike the coastal licence SBF See, which applies to sea coasts, the SBF Binnen covers the inland waters<\/b><\/span> and is limited to craft up to 20 metres in length<\/b><\/span> restricted.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Important to know: the SBF Binnen applies to both motorboats and sailing boats on inland waters. This means that even if you mainly want to sail, you need the SBF Binnen on rivers or lakes as soon as there is an engine on board above the 15 hp limit (or 7.5 kW for electric motors). Pure sailing boats without an engine<\/b><\/span> may be operated without a licence on most inland waters, but there are exceptions \u2013 in Berlin and Brandenburg, for instance, a SBF Binnen is compulsory for sail areas of 3 m\u00b2 or more. Regardless of the legal requirements, the SBF Binnen also provides you with valuable knowledge for sailing safely and confidently on inland waters.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
