In just one week, I learned everything I needed for the BSP under sail and motor, as well as for the navigation exam. The relaxed atmosphere certainly contributed to passing all exams. Thanks a lot to Niklas and the team! Continue reading David Mazurczak 2023-08-28 A really cool sailing school with a young and dedicated team. I had the pleasure of taking my SBF SEE & Binnen exams there. Everything was explained to me, and tips and tricks were shown on how to operate a boat (seamanship maneuvers). Anyone can sail a boat - I can only recommend this sailing school! And a big thank you for all the tips and help. Continue reading Hello Bodensee 2023-07-31 Absolute heartfelt recommendation! I speak from experience as I initially booked a crash sailing course on Lake Constance and failed the practical sailing exam. I didn't enjoy sailing and was lost in understanding it. By chance, I discovered Segelschule Hemmenhofen and, being one to finish what I start, I called them.
