The Navigation License allows you to navigate jet skis and boats up to 6 meters in length without power limits during daytime navigation, up to a maximum distance of 2 nautical miles from the coast. Formerly known as the Titulín, this certification is no longer issued, but the Navigation License expands the Titulín’s powers.

To obtain the Navigation License, you need to meet the following requirements:

1. Age Requirement: You must be at least 18 years old. Minors from 16 years old can also obtain it by presenting parental consent.
2. Psychotechnical Test: Pass a psychotechnical test, specifically for navigation qualifications, at a driver recognition center. The medical certificate can be delivered on the day of the course or in the previous days at the school.
3. Theoretical Course: Complete a 2-hour theoretical course at an authorized nautical school.
4. Practical Training: Complete basic safety and navigation practices, lasting 4 hours, at an authorized nautical school.

No, it is not necessary to pass any exam to obtain the Navigation License. You only need to complete the required course with 2 hours of theory and 4 hours of practice.

The practical training can be carried out in inland waters, such as the San Juan reservoir in Madrid, or at sea, for example, the Alicante coast. Depending on the location of the course you choose, the place of the practices will be in one place or another.

To issue the permit, you must present the following documents at your school, before or after completing the course:

• A photocopy of a valid ID or Passport.
• A psychotechnical medical certificate similar to those for a driver’s license.

It is important that when issuing the medical certificate, it is indicated that it is for obtaining the Navigation License.

The Navigation License authorizes the operation of recreational boats up to 6 meters in length and navigation up to a maximum distance of 2 nautical miles from a port, marina, or shelter, during daylight only. It also allows operating jet skis.
