SCHWEIZERISCHE SEEFAHRTSCHULE - HOZ HOCHSEEZENTRUM - NAUTISCHE AKADEMIE

Our motorboat mileage cruise from May 15-24 in Croatia was much more than just pushing the throttle forward and making 500 nm: Entertaining and educational, a nice group experience, great weather and even better food. From our skipper Silke Eggert we could learn a lot, new things - and also a lot of things we should have known :-)
We listened to the many exciting stories of sailing adventures with great pleasure and memorized some things so that we do not have to make all the mistakes ourselves in our future as skippers. Thank you Silke, keep up the good work!
Best regards
Peter

The highlight of this milestone cruise was the knowledgeable, always helpful and relaxed support from our skip Werner Schaufelberger

Super skipper the Werner. Again and again with pleasure

Good day

I would like to give a short feedback about the cruise.

This was the BEST mileage trip I have ever done. We have learned a lot with Silke !
Silke is a very experienced and calm skipper. We enjoyed an all-encompassing training, nothing was left out what it takes to be able to charter a boat yourself and safely.
Who only wants to collect miles quickly, is with Silke at the wrong place! But if you really want to learn a lot on the trip, you have to hire Silke.

Only with her fast North High German I had at the beginning some trouble and understood it sometimes not correctly. But that settled with time.
It would be nice if you would give Silke my feedback.

Kind regards

If you are looking for a competent, solution-oriented and broadly positioned school on the way to your ocean sailing license, HOZ is the right choice. Absolutely recommendable!

Dr. Steffen was a brilliant teacher for this course, who was able to give many practical examples through his wealth of experience both abroad and in his profession. This makes learning fun and you also pass the exam effortlessly!

The Medicine on Board course exceeded our expectations in all respects. The hands-on exercises, such as suturing a cut or placing an IV, took away our fear and we would now dare to do it in an emergency. In addition, we received very good documentation for use in practice.

What is worse than a patent neck? If someone gets injured, possibly even seriously! Unfortunately, there are many potential sources of danger on a boat, the fall into the companionway, a gas leak, the deep cut in the finger when cooking or through the shell on the mooring line the nasty jellyfish when bathing, etc..
So far fortunately never experienced itself. Then help fearlessly and competently but how?
Then I was really glad about this extensive 2-day course, specifically geared to sailing. Super lessons and practical training by a sailing-experienced doctor, very competent, always approachable and very humorous. I also found the DIskussionen and contributions of the other course participants very helpful and invigorating.

As always, a very familiar atmosphere, in which nevertheless the professional instruction was not neglected. Questions could be asked at any time, the fun did not come too short. Nice when there is a lot of heart on both sides!

Another course at the maritime school and once again the conviction to have chosen the right educational institution.

Swiss Maritime School - HOZ High Seas Center - Nautical Academy trained me perfectly! Many thanks!

The Swiss Maritime School - HOZ High Seas Center - Nautical Academy has been very competent and, above all, personally empathetic to me and my state of mind: Thank you very much!!!!!!!

My ocean license exam took place on September 18, 2021 in Zurich. At 8:30 went off`s. Like probably all candidates I had a sinking feeling in my stomach :-) But I had all the tips in mind that Christoph & Basil had given me. In general, the last lesson before the exam was a conversation tailored to me, in which it was not at all about the "technical content", but in which tasks I could probably encounter my very personal "weak points" and with the help of which procedures I could nevertheless solve the tasks well and quickly.

In the late afternoon I had the certificate in my pocket, "Passed" even with a very high score. So now it's time to collect miles, ahoy!

I don't want to miss to mention how much I enjoyed the lessons, the good mood, the many entertaining stories and the great feeling to be part of a cool group. Actually it's a pity that there are no more exams, I will miss the lessons and the extraordinary attention and support of Christoph & Basil! But there are the other courses like the two-day seminar "Medicine on board" with doctors from SeaDocs Hamburg, sailors themselves, who provide very specific expertise. And I would definitely like to have that, should it be necessary to provide assistance on board. Have already registered:-)

All in all, I am more than satisfied and can only recommend this training center!

We can highly recommend the HOZ Hochseeschein Private Coaching week course with use of the guest room in Thal. The lessons with Christoph Winterhalter were exciting, varied and entertaining. In addition, we received very helpful tips for the exam and could benefit from his many years of experience.

Levi and Erwin: two great guys! Thank you for your patience and nerves. I am very grateful for your time and have enjoyed the driving lessons very much. Within a very short time you have brought me so far that I passed the test with some luck and sweat. Will be very happy to recommend. glg Raymonds

A big thank you to both of you: Levi and Erwin. You were great, understanding, determined, reassuring and do a super strong job. It's great that you have been my teachers.
Keep up the good work !
Your Angie

very professional procedures in scheduling - very flexible in rescheduling - super great service from the boss personally - and: brilliant instructors who convey the necessary knowledge and technique through clear but good manner.
Many thanks to the whole team

It is with great pleasure that I recommend the SWISS SEA DRIVE SCHOOL - HOZ HOCHSEEZENTRUM. Thanks to the tireless support of the whole team, especially Christoph Winterhalter, I was able to make my miles for the ocean license. A big thank you also goes to the skippers, Philipp Zindel, Silke Eggert, Marcel Arzner and Werner Schaufelberger. I wish all of you all the best, lots of fun and joy. Greetings Daniel

The training of Levi and Erwin was first class! I felt very well taken care of at all times and also felt a lot of experience and also learned interesting things outside the exam material! I am now looking forward to my first trip as a captain ;)
