What is the Navigation Licence?
It is the qualification required to skipper boats up to 6 metres in length and jet skis, allowing you to go up to a maximum of 2 miles from the coast, a port or shelter. It was formerly called the Titulín.
The full course costs 120 € and includes all classes (theory and practical) taught by our instructors, plus teaching materials.
If you only need to complete the 4 hours of practice to convert your Titulín to the new Navigation Licence, contact us so we can tell you the price and put you in one of the groups.
Don’t miss out: book your course as soon as possible. To book your place or find out more about our Navigation Licence course, you can write to us from our contact section and we will answer any questions you have.
The price does not include the medical certificate.

The Navigation Licence course takes 6 hours in total: two hours of theory, and the remaining four are spent putting the knowledge and manoeuvres into practice on the boat.

On this website you will find a link to make your booking and pay. You can choose the payment method that suits you best.
We can run private courses for groups of 10 or more people, with a group discount. Contact us for more information.
At the end there will be a short assessment to check that you have acquired the course knowledge.
The two theory hours take place in our academy classroom, and the four practical hours on one of our motorboats moored in the port of Marina del Este or Nerja. We run courses every day, although we recommend booking in advance, especially in summer due to high demand.
The Navigation Licence practical training takes place on motorboats only. If you want to practise or expand your sailing knowledge, you can sign up for the Sail endorsement course.
To obtain the Navigation Licence instantly after completing the course, you must hand in a photocopy of your DNI or passport, and your NIE if you are a foreign national. You must also provide a psychotechnical medical certificate issued by an approved drivers’ medical centre. When requesting the medical certificate, ask for it to be for the Navigation Licence.
What’s more, at our Nautical School we issue the licence instantly so you can go sailing the same day.
On this course you learn to skipper a boat according to sea conditions, basic knots, berthing, anchoring, regulations, legislation, COLREGs (RIPA) rules for preventing collisions at sea, safety on board and use of VHF radio.
No, to obtain the Navigation Licence you only need to complete the 6-hour course.
Yes, the Navigation Licence also allows you to sail, within the privileges of the Navigation Licence itself. In other words, you can skipper sailing boats with the Navigation Licence as long as they do not exceed 6 metres in length and stay within the navigation limits (2 miles from the coast)
Before the Navigation Licence there was a qualification called the Federation Authorisation, or Titulín, as it was the most basic qualification in recreational boating. With the entry into force of Royal Decree 875/2014, the Federation Authorisation was replaced by the Navigation Licence.
