Pass your boating theory — content verified against the official regulations
We Boat teaches the theory behind boating licences: over 400 illustrated lessons, animated explanations and realistic mock exams. Everything works offline, with no account to create.
VERIFIED CONTENT, WITH ITS SOURCES
This is what sets We Boat apart: every rule points to the text it comes from — COLREG, CEVNI, BinSchStrO, the Belgian Royal Decree of 4 August 1981, Division 240 (2024 ed.). You are not memorising a claim: you know where it comes from. In 2026 the entire content was audited article by article against those official texts.
WHO IT'S FOR
• The CEVNI test taken as part of the ICC: all 97 official inland waterway signs, plus sound signals, lights, buoyage and the rules of the road
• Anyone learning COLREG and the international rules — they are the same everywhere, from the Solent to the Adriatic
• National theory exams: France (permis côtier), Belgium (restricted and general certificate, with two dedicated chapters), the Netherlands (vaarbewijs), Germany (Sportbootführerschein), Italy (patente nautica)

What's New in We Boat
1.2.3
August 14, 2026
NEW — Place the buoys yourself A waterway diagram, empty slots, and it's up to you to drop in the missing marks. Channel, fork, harbour entrance, groynes, bends: the real situations of buoyage, by drag and drop. Half right earns half a point, and every mistake tells you which rule you missed. Buoyage: real photos of buoys and signs, taken on the Belgian and Dutch coast, now appear in quizzes and mock exams. New lesson: IALA-A and IALA-B — why red isn't on the same side depending on the country, with a map of both regions. Fixed a sign pictogram that allowed what it forbade.
