Established recreational boating license training program (SBF Sea & Inland) as a turnkey asset deal

The company offers structured training programs for the SBF See and SBF Binnen recreational boat licenses, featuring both theoretical and practical content. Its proprietary video-based learning courses allow for flexible preparation and help participants systematically prepare for the exam. The offering is complemented by a digitally organized course booking and customer support system, as well as an exam guarantee. The services are designed to ensure efficient, standardized delivery of the boating license training.

The company primarily serves B2C customers who wish to obtain a recreational boat license for the open sea and/or inland waters for personal use, to get started in water sports, or for professional development. In particular, customers take advantage of the company’s own video-based learning courses, practical training on training boats, and exam preparation with a pass guarantee. A documented training history of approximately 500 customers forms a valuable customer base; recognition as educational leave also makes it easier for working professionals to participate.

The market for recreational boating license training in Germany is part of the growing leisure, water sports, and maritime education sector. Rising interest in water sports, vacations on the water, and personalized leisure activities is driving demand for qualified and flexible training programs. Digital learning formats, standardized exam requirements, and recognition as educational leave create additional market opportunities and enable the company to efficiently reach new participant groups. Thanks to its established training concept, digital sales and administrative structures, and existing training capacity, the company is well-positioned to benefit from this development.

The company competes with traditional water sports and sailing schools, clubs, private instructors, and online-only providers of recreational boat license courses. Its competitive position is strengthened by a combination of a proven training concept, proprietary video courses, an exam guarantee, and recognition as educational leave. An automated booking and CRM system, an existing customer base with training histories, and instructors ready to join the company ensure operational continuity and raise barriers to entry for new startups and purely digital competitors.
