Frequently asked questions
Are these real official Spanish exam questions?
Yes. Every question comes from official past papers across multiple regions and national exam sittings in Spain. Each question cites its exam sitting and links to the official question paper and answer key PDF.
Which Spanish boating licences can I prepare for?
You can prepare for all four main qualifications: Recreational Boat Skipper (PER), Yacht Skipper (Patrón de Yate, PY), Yacht Captain (Capitán de Yate, CY) and Professional Skipper of Recreational Craft (PPER).
Can I study in English if the official exam is in Spanish?
Yes. Because the official exam in Spain is sat in Spanish, Study mode shows the original Spanish wording side by side with the English translation and interactive nautical glossary tooltips, and you can switch to Exam mode (Spanish only) whenever you want to test yourself.
Is Vía Náutica free and do I need an account?
It is completely free with no sign-up or email required. Your progress, readiness score and badges are saved locally in your browser.
