What is charter without a sailing license?

Chartering without a license is possible on boats whose maximum speed does not exceed 15 hp per hour. After a short training conducted by the Owner, you can 100% legally drive a yacht on the route of the Great Masurian Lakes. The most common mode of such charters are houseboats. Charter without a patent is the most common option when chartering motor yachts in Masuria. For speedboat enthusiasts, we have water scooters available in Gizycko – however, after driving them, it is necessary to have a sailing licence – motorboat helmsman or higher.

Boats you can rent without a licence

Is it safe to charter on Masuria without a license?

Legislation that has changed the availability, renting motor boats in the Mazurian Lake District has been going on for several years. According to police statistics, this has not adversely affected safety. The same opinion is held by the water lifeguards who take care of our safety on the Great Masurian Lakes route. The training that anyone renting a yacht without a license should undergo has passed its test. Walking motor yachts are equipped with safety measures. It’s worth checking the yacht’s equipment if it’s your first time renting a yacht from a particular Owner.

Sailing without a license is an everyday occurrence on the Great Mazurian Lakes. The number of yachts and motor boats that can be driven without a license has increased dramatically. However, it is a good idea to learn the rules of the waterway before setting sail to minimize the possibility of damage to your yacht. Our vessels are equipped with navigation systems that provide up-to-date maps of bodies of water, along with their depths, so you can avoid running aground (which can result in damage to your boat and an interruption of your cruise) or into an inaccessible protected zone (which can result in a fine). In addition, they have thrusters that greatly improve steering, making it even safer and easier to sail them.

All our boats without a patent are houseboats – the most popular type of such boats on the Mazurian lakes. They have high-quality finishes and rich equipment, which makes them an excellent alternative to, for example, staying in a hotel, making your trip more varied and exciting.

Especially for you, we have rebuilt our fleet, introduce the latest hybrid motor yachts. These are three Platinum 40 FLY Hybrid and one Futura 40 FLY Hybrid – very modern units, launched in 2024. Hybrid propulsion is an ecological and environmentally friendly solution due to reduced fuel consumption, while maintaining safety and reliability. It also enhances travel comfort by significantly reducing engine noise when switching to electric drive, without the need to kill to port to recharge the battery.

Another eco-friendly and life-saving solution on our yachts is a photovoltaic installation. Thanks to this solution it is possible to connect and use various electrical equipment, often necessary for our normal functioning, without starting the engine and emitting any pollution.

Our units are yachts ideal for families, groups of friends or companies who want to relax and explore the beautiful landscapes of the Polish lakes. These are units on which you will find everything you need for a comfortable stay on the water: heating, TV, refrigerator, stove, water installations, shower, toilet and much more.
