Motor cruising is an excellent means of relaxing. For you and your crew, the enjoyment will only be complete if you fully master your boat in a safe and relaxed way, at sea or on the inland waterways.
Is it hard to learn? No, at least not if you work with professionals. Is it possible to learn it all by yourself, with a book for instance? Experience tells us the chances of success are limited. Worse, you will easily get discouraged. A navigation school offers the best solution in both cases.
