The SBF Binnen (Sportbootführerschein Binnen) is the German licence for recreational boats of less than 20 m with more than 15 hp (11.03 kW) on the federal inland waterways: rivers, canals and lakes. The theory test is a question sheet with 30 questions (7 basic and 23 inland questions); you pass with at most six wrong answers.
If you also want the licence for sailing (required on certain waters in Berlin and Brandenburg), there is an additional sailing sheet with 7 questions, of which at least 5 must be correct. The 72 basic questions are the same as in the SBF See. All exams are held in German only.
