Driving is allowed. Not only with the fleet of McLarens, Aston Martins, Dallaras and KTMs that the Dörr team is bringing along, but of course also with the yachts on site. "This year, we have eight new Azimut models between 16 and 24 metres in the harbour, from the Azimut Atlantis 51 to the Azimut 78 Fly," reveals Splendid Yachting Managing Director Stefan Breck.
FB3 Yachtmaster and SRC radio licence
Stefan Breck has the perfect solution for yacht enthusiasts who do not yet have a boat licence. "As part of our 'Skipper Experience', we offer our guests the opportunity to complete both the FB3 Yachtmaster and the SRC radio licence within three days." Official examiners and instructors are on site. The course starts on 9 May 2025 and includes one day of theory and two days of practical instruction. There's no better way to spend a long weekend.
The FB3 Yachtmaster is an Austrian licence category for sailing yachts. "FB3" stands for "driving licence class 3". This licence entitles the holder to sail up to 200 nautical miles off the coast.
