The AB Sportbootschule, founded by Alexandra and Axel Beckmann, offers water sports enthusiasts a comprehensive range of courses related to the recreational boating license for both inland and ocean waterways. The school has been offering intensive courses since 2018. Theory and practical training take place in small groups, with the exam being taken directly on-site – resulting in a German license valid worldwide.
The options on Lake Garda are ideal for vacationers: In just a few days, you can obtain both the inland sports boat license and the SBF (Swiss Federal Boating License for Lakes), including a knot-tying kit, practical training, and an exam. Alternatively, private boating lessons or skipper training sessions are available – for example, harbor maneuvers or personal technical checks. Some of the training takes place directly at the Hotel Garden Zorzi above the jetty – surrounded by Mediterranean nature and overlooking the lake.
The AB Sportbootschule locations are just a short drive from Gardone Riviera – whether in San Felice del Benaco, Gargnano, or Manerba del Garda. This makes it particularly easy to combine theory and practice with a stylish stay at the Eden Reserve Hotel. A few hours of water sports in the morning, relaxing by the pool or in the gardens in the afternoon: this creates a harmonious holiday balance between active exercise and relaxed leisure – with one of Europe's most beautiful lakes on your doorstep.
