TITULÍN

Basic course to obtain a navigation licence in Barcelona

The Navigation Licence is an official basic certificate which substitutes the previous “Titulin”.

It is a licence which is easy to obtain and it doesn’t require taking a test. One just has to listen to a 2-hour theory course and have a 4-hour practical afterwards. As you can see it is a very convenient and straightforward to acquire licence

Having approved the probation of RD 238/2019 the licence enables holders to drive aquatic bikes without a power limit which in turn could be used to tow aquatic skis or floating artefacts for recreational or sporting use.

Medical certificate: what is it and how can I get it?

The medical certificate guarantees that the applicant doesn’t suffer any diseases and doesn’t have any limitations which are incompatible with the governmental requirements. A medical check is very similar to the psychotechnical driving test.

To obtain a Medical Certificate one needs to make an appointment in the Driver Recognition Center for taking a coordination and reflexes test.

Other Questions

The price of the navigation licence is usually between 100 and 200 euros depending on the sailing school. At Anclademia we currently have a sailing licence on offer at a price of 95 euros.

This price includes the theory part and the practical part in 6 hours. This price also includes the compulsory fees.

The navigation licence, unlike other nautical titles, is the only official title that does not expire.

With the navigation licence you will be able to sail in other countries outside Spain, as long as that country recognises the validity of the recreational licence. This title is normally recognised in most European countries, but there may be exceptions.

To sail a boat you need an official certificate, depending on the characteristics of the boat it can go from the Navigation Licence, which is the most basic certificate, to the PER, which is a more advanced certificate.

In order to sail a boat with a sailing licence, the boat must be no more than 6 metres in length and have an engine with a maximum unlimited power according to the manufacturer. If you want to sail a sailing boat, the maximum length is 6 metres.
