Applying for a boating licence

Last update

Would you like to obtain a boating licence to navigate on inland waterways or on the open sea? To do so, you need to contact one of the organisations responsible for preparing for the Luxembourg boating licence examination.

You will need to take a training course given by this organisation, which is approved by the Ministry of the Economy, and also pass theory and practical tests. The organisation will then forward your application for a boating licence to the Luxembourg Maritime Administration (Commissariat aux affaires maritimes).

The boating licence is valid for a fixed period and can be renewed.

For more information on how to apply and the related costs, please see our dedicated information page.
