Pass your boating licence — content checked against the official texts We Boat Licence prepares eleven European licences: the French coastal and inland permits, the Belgian restricted and general brevets, the Dutch Klein Vaarbewijs 1 and 2, the German Sportbootführerschein See, the Spanish PER and PNB, and the Italian patente nautica within 12 miles and with no limit. Up to 487 lesson sheets and reference plates depending on your licence, animations, over 2,000 questions, and mock exams scored the way yours really is. All of it offline, with no account. CHECKED CONTENT, AND SOURCED Every rule points to the text it rests on — COLREG, CEVNI, Division 240 (2024 ed.), the Belgian royal decree of 1981, RPNE, BPR, SRW, SRE, SRKGT, SeeSchStrO. You don't memorise a claim: you know where it comes from. Audited article by article against those texts. EVERY EXAM HAS ITS OWN SCORING That is what separates a useful mock exam from a plain quiz. • France, coastal and inland — 40 questions, five mistakes allowed, no eliminating subject (decree of 28 September 2007) • Belgium, restricted and general — three parts, at least 50 % per part and 60 % overall • Netherlands, Klein Vaarbewijs 1 — 40 questions, 80 points, 70 % pass mark • Netherlands, Klein Vaarbewijs 2 — 27 questions, 50 points, 90 minutes, pass mark 35 (the CBR's own toetsmatrijs) • Germany, Sportbootführerschein See — three independent parts: fail one, fail the exam • Spain, PER — 45 questions, 13 mistakes allowed, per-unit caps (RD 875/2014); PNB — 27 questions, 10 mistakes • Italy, entro 12 miglia and senza limiti — both tests of D.M. 323/2021, carteggio included THE SYLLABUS 20 universal chapters, plus your licence's own — 38 topics in Belgium, 61 in the Netherlands (+57 for KVB2), 36 in Germany: • Navigation lights: up to 72 configurations depending on the licence, each flashing its real character, seen from 4 angles and drawn on its own vessel's silhouette • IALA-A buoyage by day AND by night: at night every mark beats its light's real character • Inland signs: from 91 to 111 panels depending on the licence • Steering and give-way rules (COLREG), with the national departures • Sound, fog and distress signals · VHF (MAYDAY, PAN-PAN, SÉCURITÉ) • Safety and required equipment (Division 240) • Charts · Compass and bearings · Tides · Currents • Marine weather (Beaufort, Douglas) · Knots · Manoeuvres • Engine and pre-departure checks · Pollution (MARPOL) • The 40 flags of the International Code of Signals • Maritime glossary: 269 terms explained • Tips and the exam's classic traps UNDERSTAND, NOT JUST REMEMBER The animations show what a still diagram cannot: give-way, crossing, the real rhythm of lights, buoyage by day and night, tides, knots, manoeuvres.

Fair winds! ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-05 What's new in 1.4.0 • New mini-game "Buoy the Harbour": put the buoys of real harbours back in place, then watch your boat sail in. One mistake and it runs aground. • One free harbour every day, plus your own country's. Every harbour with Pro. • Keep your daily streak going and share your result. • Choose your sailing area, IALA A or B: lateral buoys adapt (red and green swap in region B). In Settings or the Buoyage section. • Your exam stays on your licence's system, whatever area you choose. • Maps from OpenStreetMap, checked against official charts. Not for navigation. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-01 What's new in 1.3.0 • More varied mock exams: questions really rotate, and chart plotting legs are drawn at random (Netherlands, Spain). • Over 80 new lesson cards and 250 new hand-written questions: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy and French inland waters. • French inland licence: RGP rules and lights now replace the maritime rules. • Listen to a MAYDAY, PAN-PAN or SÉCURITÉ call, and to the radio alphabet. • Lights: recognise them head-on, from astern and from starboard too. New colour-blind mode: colours written as letters. • New diagrams: Rules 17 and 19, dead reckoning, reading a light on the chart, distress signals. • The cleat hitch in real photos, plus 19 new field photos of signs and buoys. • Buoyage: main channel / secondary channel exercises, and a chart to complete with 10 buoys. • Illustrated glossary: 37 new plates, and the term highlighted on its diagram. • Content re-checked against the official texts: DSC alert, black water, duplex VHF, equipment expiry. • After your exam, tell us whether you passed. ### 1.2.10 — 2026-09-26 One name everywhere The app is now called We Boat Licence on the App Store, under its icon and on its own screens: the same name in all three places. That is the only change in this version. Fair winds! ### 1.2.9 — 2026-09-19 What's new in 1.2.9 • A NEW NAME: WE BOATING LICENCE — The app is now named after what it helps you earn, in your language, right down to the name under its icon. • NIGHT LIGHTS: TRAIN LIKE YOU'RE AT SEA — New "Vessel silhouette" setting. Start with the hull drawn in to see where each light sits, then switch it off: only the lights remain against the dark night, exactly what you will see from the helm. One tap, on any light's page or in Settings. In the mock exam, the lights always appear on their own, just like on the day. • TWO DIAGRAMS NOW FIT THEIR FRAME — The points of sail and the hull profile (draught, air draught) spilled slightly over their edges. Fixed. Fair winds! ### 1.2.8 — 2026-09-07 The glossary finally explains. All 296 marine terms now open on a detailed sheet, and 247 of them are illustrated: boat anatomy, rigging, sail, points of sail, rope. The knots are real rope photographed step by step — bowline, figure of eight, reef, sheet bend. A complete new fire chapter: classes A, B, C, D and F, what each one demands, what makes it worse, and a table that shows at a glance which agent works and which is forbidden. Spain and Italy join the app: PER and PNB, patente entro 12 miglia and senza limiti, with their official marking schemes. ## Apps similar to We Boat Licence | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Klein Vaarbewijs 1 Examen](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/klein-vaarbewijs-1-examen/id6785649788) | — | Free | Education | | [Vaarbewijs Pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vaarbewijs-pro/id6757110682) | — | Free | Education | | [Klein Vaarbewijs 1 & 2 Examen](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/klein-vaarbewijs-1-and-2-examen/id6800469138) | — | Free | Education | | [Boegwijs - Vaarbewijs](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/boegwijs-vaarbewijs/id6796958674) | — | Free | Education | | [Permis Bateau QCM 2026](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/permis-bateau-qcm-2026/id6781065075) | — | Free | Education | | [CRR: Marine Radio Exam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/crr-marine-radio-exam/id6780462342) | — | Free | Education | ## More apps by werner masseglia - [We Color Blocks](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/we-color-blocks/id6758255307) - [We IBD: IBD, Crohn's Tracker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/we-ibd-ibd-crohns-tracker/id6792385767) - [We Math](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/we-math/id6794706408) - [We Drone: EU A1/A3 & A2 Exam](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/we-drone-eu-a1a3-and-a2-exam/id6807704759) - [We Parents: See Them Grow](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/we-parents-see-them-grow/id6812018939) All apps by werner masseglia: https://appshunter.io/developer/1871773270 ## Related topics [boating license](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/boating-license) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
