Three ways to pass
Study mode, exam simulation, and targeted error training – all in one app.
Study mode
Questions by category with instant feedback and explanations. Navigation, maritime law, safety, weather, and more.
Exam simulation
Real exam conditions: time limit, pass threshold, feedback only at the end – exactly like the real exam.
Error training
Train your weak spots specifically – only incorrectly answered questions. With a hit rate per category and learning stats, you always see where you stand.
You study the questions that actually come up – not last year's.
Printed textbooks fall behind with every catalog change. BoatPass doesn't: you study 1:1 with the official question catalog – and every change reaches you as an update. For every license you can see the official catalog, its current status and a direct link to the official source. Check it yourself.

The date shows when each official edition came into force – not how old the questions are. Every catalog listed here is authoritative for the 2026 exam year. When a new edition is published, we build it in automatically.
All catalogs are published via ELWIS on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) and the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration. Only the announcement in the Verkehrsblatt is legally binding.
