Inshore Sailing Licence Course
The inshore sailing licence course (within 12 miles) is the quickest route to obtaining a nautical licence in Como.
It qualifies you to skipper dinghies and motor-vessels up to 24 metres in length, with no engine power limit, but within a maximum distance of 12 nautical miles from the coast.
For the inshore motor licence only, we include practical driving sessions in Como on the exam boat — hours that also count towards the required certified experience log.
For the sail licence, you will spend a full day sailing out of La Spezia on larger cabin boats — complete with wheel steering, inboard engine, cabins, heads, etc. — so you can try, learn, and simulate the practical exam on the same boat you'll be examined on.
