Small engines
A skipper's license for boats with an engine of up to 20 kW is suitable for fishermen, for example on a punt with a small engine. For any larger engine, or for a jet ski, it is necessary to obtain a license for engines with unlimited engine power.
Where can you sail?
Anywhere on inland waters. And all over the world. Most countries in the world require at least some kind of license to drive a boat. Driving a boat without a license is the same offense as driving a car without a driver's license. For citizens of the Czech Republic, the basic license is the Small Vessel Master's License.
