Sportbootführerschein Binnen (SBF Binnen) (SBF Binnen)

The German recreational-craft operator licence for vessels within its statutory scope on inland waterways.

Whether it is required depends on the waterway, propulsion, engine output, craft and operator age under current German rules. Sailing endorsements or local provisions may apply in particular areas.

The licence does not replace CEVNI knowledge, radio certification, vessel documents or restrictions imposed by a specific waterway or charter provider.
