Celestial navigation, ocean navigation, and worldwide passagemaking — taught in a technically sound, demanding, and professional manner.
The Ocean Skipper Certificate (SHS) is the highest official licence in German recreational maritime training. It authorises the operation of yachts on all oceans and provides in‑depth knowledge in celestial navigation, ocean navigation, meteorology, maritime law, and safety. The SHS is designed for skippers who want to take responsibility on offshore and ocean passages.
The training covers all topics required for the demanding SHS examination:
The training is clearly organised and prepares you specifically for the exam:
Training is calm, structured, and technically sound. I teach not only exam content, but true nautical understanding at ocean‑going level.
Comprehensive instruction in advanced navigation techniques.
Exercises with the sextant, weather routing, and real offshore scenarios.
Professional instruction with real‑world relevance.
Focused, professional, and individual.
If you have questions about the training or would like to book a course, I look forward to hearing from you.
