With this option, you will be able to:
- Sailing day and night;
- Benefit from unlimited engine power;
- Drive a jet-ski or water scooter of more than 6 HP (daytime only);
- Use VHF in French territorial waters.
Boat license inland waters extension
The “inland waters” option allows you to sail on a boat less than 20 meters in length. Beyond that, you must have the “large pleasure” extension. A river license is required to operate a pleasure boat on inland waters when the engine power is greater than 4,5 kW (6 horsepower), including for sailing pleasure boats.
With the inland water option, you can:
- Navigate rivers, lakes and canals (not at sea);
- Driving a water motor vehicle (VNM or water motorcycle) in inland waters;
- Use VHF in French territorial waters.
To obtain the “inland waters” boat license you only need one hour of theory at our premises in Loctudy.

The offshore option boat license (maritime waters) allows you to travel the oceans without any limits on a pleasure boat of more than 4,5 kilowatts (6 horsepower).
