Sea and coastal plus licence (LU/DE)
The Permis Mer licence (issued by the Ministry of the Economy and Foreign Trade) is the only mandatory licence authorizing the operation of a pleasure craft under the Luxembourg flag. It permits the operation of boats and pleasure vessels flying the Luxembourg maritime flag in sea waters without any area limitations (coastal and offshore navigation). The course content focuses primarily on behaviour on the water (rules of the road and steering, navigation within buoyage systems, identifying types of vessels and their courses by day and night), as well as providing in-depth knowledge of coastal navigation and meteorology. The CÔTIER PLUS licence authorizes its holder to operate a pleasure craft of up to 20 metres in length in sea waters up to six nautical miles from the coast. The language of instruction is Luxembourgish. The courses will take place at the Lycée de Garçons, 41A, avenue Victor Hugo, L-1750 Luxembourg. A course in English will be offered shortly.
