Marinero › Sailing test
Twenty questions pulled straight from the Marinero course cards — the wind, the lines, the rules, the manners. Nothing to get wrong: you get a rank, plus the two or three topics worth reading before you fly.
Six ranks, and your boat grows with you. Most people who have chartered once land around Marinero or Navegante.
Free, no account, no email. Your rank is shown either way.
The questions are the real thing: each one is a card pulled straight from the Marinero course — the card’s own question, its own four answers and its own illustration where the course has one. Two cards from each of ten modules: the boat itself, wind and points of sail, sail trim, lines and ropework, mooring and anchoring, on-deck manoeuvres, navigation basics, weather and sea, charter culture, and safety and emergency.
It is deliberately beginner-weighted — this is what a skipper expects of guest crew on a week in the Med, not Yachtmaster theory. Every attempt draws a fresh set from a larger pool of cards and shuffles the answers, so a retake is a real retake.
Your result is a knowledge estimate, not a qualification. Score Capitán and you still have not earned it — you have just shown you already know the material. That is worth knowing before you spend a week pretending.
Turista (Optimist) → Marinero (Laser) → Navegante (day sailer) → Piloto (35ft cruiser) → Oficial (50ft cruiser) → Capitán (tall ship). 0–5 correct is Turista, 6–9 Marinero, 10–13 Navegante, 14–16 Piloto, 17–18 Oficial, 19–20 Capitán. In the course, Capitán is not bought or ground out on points — it is every card mastered.
Yes — no account, no email, no payment. Your rank and your per-topic breakdown are shown for free. The only thing behind an email is the personalised study plan.
About two minutes. Twenty multiple-choice questions, one per screen, no timer, and you can go back and change an answer before you finish.
No. It is written for people about to step onto a charter boat for the first time. If you score Turista, that is the honest starting point — and the result tells you exactly what to read first.
No. Each attempt draws twenty fresh cards from a larger pool and shuffles the answer order, so retaking it actually tests you again.
Yes — every question is a real Marinero card: the same wording, the same four answers and the same illustration you see when you study it in the app.
Weak on knots specifically? The six illustrated knot guides are free and take about ten minutes to read. New to the vocabulary? Start with the sailing glossary.
