About the course

Goldfish High-Speed Course

 

Get your Norwegian High-Speed Certificate

The course will prepare and instruct you on everything you need to know to pass the exam and be safe on the water. Starting in June 2023, the government will require high-speed licenses for drivers of recreational boats that reach speeds above 50 knots. Because of this, our goal is to make the best course available and invite you for a full day of fun and knowledge this summer.

 

A varied program

You can expect the opportunity to explore some of our boat models, meet Goldfish representatives, and enjoy excellent food. The main objective of the course is to prepare you for the exam, but we also plan to have some fun with our boats during the day. The course will be held in Norwegian, and consists of a mandatory theoretical course, followed by a practical course out in the water.
