Goldfish High-Speed Course

Get your Norwegian High-Speed certificate with Goldfish and Pål Virik Nilsen this summer. The course will prepare and instruct you on everything you need to know to pass the exam and be safe on the water. Starting in June 2023, the government will require high-speed licenses for drivers of recreational boats that reach speeds above 50 knots. Because of this, our goal is to make the best course available and invite you for a full day of fun and knowledge this summer.

You can expect the opportunity to explore some of our boat models, meet Goldfish representatives, and enjoy excellent food. The main objective of the course is to prepare you for the exam, but we also plan to have some fun with our boats during the day.

Instructor & Course boat
Your instructor Pål Virik Nilsen is a former world champion in offshore racing, having won championships in both Europe and Norway. He will be your instructor for the day and guide you through the course and share his expertise and knowledge with you. The course will be held in Norwegian.

During the practical part of the course you will be driving a Goldfish 28 Tender powered by twin 300bhp Mercury V8 Verado engines.

Duration & Location
From 09:00 to 18:00 at the Goldfish Service Dock in Son, Norway

Reservations
In the event that there are too few participants attending the course on a specific day, we reserve the right to move your attendance to another day. We will contact you about your options and possible changes in good time before the course.

Practical Information
You are welcome to bring your boat if you own one, as we have spots available at the Goldfish Service dock. It is also possible to arrive by car, and there is a parking spot right outside the venue.

Make sure to bring clothes that are warm enough for a day on the water. At times, the weather can be harsh, so wearing a shell jacket and maybe a beanie is recommended.
