The Navigation License is an official basic certificate which substitutes the previous “Titulin”.
It is a license 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 simple to acquire license
Having approved the probation of RD 238/2019 the license 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.

In 2014 Titulín was nullified and was replaced by the Navigation License. Taking into consideration the differing requirements, a 4-hour practice in order to obtain the new license is needed.
The medical certificate guarantees that the applicant does not suffer from any diseases and does not 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 at the Driver Recognition Center for taking a coordination and reflexes test.
The price of the navigation license is usually between 100 and 200 euros depending on the sailing school. At Anclademia we currently have a sailing license on offer at a price of 150 euros (all classes are in English)
This price includes the theory part and the practical part in 6 hours. This price also includes the compulsory fees.
It is not necessary to take any theoretical or practical test or exam. To obtain a sailing license in Barcelona you only need to take a course consisting of 2 hours of theory and 4 hours of practice.
The sailing license and the “Titulín” are not exactly the same thing, but they are very similar. The “Titulín” was a Federative Authorization granted by the sailing and motorboat federations, and it allowed sailing in small boats with certain limitations in terms of engine power. However, with the entry into force of Royal Decree 875/2014, the “Titulín” ceased to be issued and was replaced by the Sailing License.
Although the Navigation License has some different attributions to those of the “Titulín”, both are permits with fewer limitations than other recreational nautical qualifications.
With a Navigation license you can operate any watercraft without power restrictions, just as you can with a boat.
The navigation license, unlike other nautical titles, is the only official title that does not expire.
The sailing license in Spain is a document that certifies that a person has successfully completed a basic sailing training course. This license is issued to those who want to sail pleasure craft up to 6 meters in length and with an engine power of up to 15 hp.
The sailing license allows the holder to sail in inland and coastal waters, provided that the above-mentioned length and power limitations are respected. In addition, it also allows the holder to rent and drive jet skis.
It is important to note that the navigation license is not the same as the recreational boat skipper's license (PER), which allows the holder to sail larger and more powerful vessels in inland and coastal waters. However, the sailing license is an ideal option for those who want to get started in sailing and enjoy water activities in small and simple boats.
With the navigation license you will be able to sail in other countries outside Spain, as long as that country recognizes the validity of the recreational license. This title is normally recognized 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 License, which is the most basic certificate, to the PER, which is a more advanced certificate.
In order to sail a boat with a sailing license, the boat must be no more than 6 meters 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 meters.
The training received in the Sailing License course does not validate any syllabus or subject for other qualifications, unlike what happens with the PNB and the PER, which share some content and do allow part of it to be validated. If you obtain the Navigation License and then decide to obtain a higher qualification, such as the Patrón Básico or Patrón de Recreo, you will have to complete the course and the practical training corresponding to that qualification in its entirety.
