Offshore Sailing Licence Course
The offshore sailing licence course at Annje Bonnje is the most comprehensive route to obtaining a nautical licence on Lake Como.
It qualifies you to skipper dinghies and vessels up to 24 metres in length, with no engine power limit and no restriction on distance from the coast.
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.
The offshore course also includes an additional 4 weeks of chart plotting sessions.
