I can fully recommend the motorboat school. Mr Magnani is an authority in his field and prepares the students comprehensively for the exam. The atmosphere on the boat is very good and promotes learning success and also general nautical knowledge for everyday life is not too short and you feel comfortable. Accordingly, only one attempt was necessary to pass the exam. The boat is perfect for the driving school and also the exam. Quick changes from the aft deck to the foredeck are possible without any problems. The office is flexible and reliable. Mails are answered quickly and you notice that experience and quality have priority in every area.

Mr Magnani taught me the necessary skills to pass the exam quickly and sustainably. He is competent, determined, friendly and consistent. In contrast to other driving schools, Mr Magnani is involved in 100% of the cases. He always gives the same instructions and tips, which is enormously important if you want to master the boat in a reasonable time. I was previously at a city Zurich multi-teacher driving school and found it extremely annoying that the teachers a) were not full-time driving instructors and b) were constantly contradicting each other. With Mr Magnani, the student benefits from a uniform, proven education. Mr. Magnani has decades of experience and knows exactly what is expected of the exam, what he has to teach the students and how he achieves the fastest and most sustainable learning success. I felt in good hands at all times and passed the exam at the first attempt. I have the highest respect for Mr. Magnani's work and thank him for his cooperation.

I can recommend the Magnani motorboat school without reservation. Diana Scheffeldt and André Magnani teach with great expertise and pursue a clear goal: to get rid of their clients and get them through the exam the first time. Nautical skills cannot be compensated for by "experience" of road traffic - so it is not surprising that 30 driving hours are required. Those who want to be "fully fledged" at the beginning of the season in the following year ideally start their driving lessons in autumn, benefit from the "driving school season" on a perfectly heated boat in winter and can thus take the exam in spring.

I can recommend the Magnani motorboat school with a good heart. Step by step you get closer to your goal "control a motorboat". Mr. Magnani and Mrs. Scheffeldt explain and teach you boating competently, very directly and always friendly. I was allowed to enjoy most of the lessons with Mrs. Scheffeldt. It is thanks to her (and also to Mr. Magnani) that I passed the practical exam at the first attempt and without losing any drops of sweat. Under certain circumstances, Mrs Scheffeldt and Mr Magnani have a few driving lessons more than other driving instructors (I cannot judge this very well). The result is that you feel safe and have the boat under control in almost every situation. It's not just "just" an exam situation course. I'd come back!

Teacher: D.Scheffeldt - very good and human lessons. Extremely friendly and experienced in dealing with student drivers. Prices reasonable in comparison with other providers. Flexible in making appointments and accommodating (within the rules of the game) in dealing with cancellations, even in the event of my (school-independent!) medical accident. My time forced presentation for the acquisition of the driving licence could be fulfilled. I highly recommend it!

André Magnani and Diana Scheffeldt prepared me very competently and professionally for the boat exam, which I passed despite wind and impatient expert at the first time. I was looking forward to every driving lesson, appreciated it extraordinarily with the very experienced A. Magnani also on Sundays and before the exam even in the evening to have received late driving lesson. Diana also sacrificed her Saturday off several times for me...always with total commitment, great expertise, but also a lot of humour. The 4 months were a lot of fun for me. I can warmly recommend this driving school to everyone and miss you both after just one week. Thank you so much.

I am enthusiastic about the Magnani powerboat school. Mr. Magnani and his employees are a well-rehearsed, professional team which guarantees the test success. During the whole training I liked the calm charisma and the patience of Mr Magnani. Due to his experience, the high professional competence and the calm manner one becomes "almost without noticing it" in the course of the hours to the very well trained boat leader. He knows how to make the driving lessons very professional and yet relaxed with humour. Thanks to the easy-to-steer training boat with heated cabin, driving lessons are no problem even on cold and rainy days. I made the right choice with the motorboat school Magnani and passed the test the first time without any problems. I can recommend the powerboat school Magnani 100%!

Reviews from lorenzbaumann@...
Mr Magnani is an extremely competent, experienced and pleasant driving instructor. He is unagitated and objective, responds to the student and communicates in a positive way everything necessary for the practical examination. In his lessons he often gives commands until shortly before the exam, instead of letting the student "run in" and then correcting. This is probably a question of style, it didn't bother me, because you can build up the feeling for boat, water and wind quite well in this way. For me as a "head person" he could have handed in a little more written material. However, he does not do this consciously so that the student develops the right feeling and does not study too much or proceed according to a scheme that does not work with wind or other special situations. All in all an excellent teacher, highly recommended!

I had my first driving lesson with André Magnani. The further driving lessons, except for a few in between, I completed with Manuela Bruno. Manuela was always upbeat, funny and calm, but still she was strict and always had the situation under control when it mattered. The mixture between: many years of experience of André Magnani, calmness and flexibility of Manuela Bruno, were for me THE factors which brought me successfully through the first examination date. Once again, thank you both very much.

Reviews from armin.stocker@...
greetings I can give the Magnani powerboat school top marks. This is for the following reasons: - André Magnani seems to be a real chramper. That's very sympathetic! Meanwhile his colleagues at 09.00 o'clock each time the water a little bit animate to enjoy then punntlich at 16.00 o'clock the evening to enjoy, one meets him from in the morning at 7 to in the evening at 9 on the water. This species has appealed to me very much - The price-performance ratio is very good at CHF 100 per hour. No fuel surcharges like other providers (e.g. those 9 - 16 - providers as described above) and no 'superfluous' hours, you will be sent to the test if you have the impression that you can try it. - the data can be arranged flexibly according to time of year, time and location - André Magnani is basically a likeable and humorous type, which makes learning much more pleasant. Hope the feedback will help someone make the right decision about the right motorboat school. Friendly greetings Armin Stocker

The structured approach as well as the precise and above all complete description of the maneuvers (including visual representation with Modelbötli) were very helpful for me. Of course I was also happy about the punctuality, the non-smoking during the driving lesson and that also the fun when driving was not neglected.

Mr. Magniani is a competent and experienced driving instructor with an almost infinite patience. and the necessary pinch of humor. The driving lessons take place in pleasant and friendly atmosphere. However, he also wishes his students to provide him with the corresponding Commitment/attitude and concentration. The driving school boat is very good to drive and easy to manoeuvre (like a VW Golf). and always in a good and clean condition. In winter, the heating is worth its weight in gold. It's great that you can also take your partner with you, who will then also be able to can benefit from valuable tips (covers, knots, anchors, etc.) and can also be used accordingly. is trained. Mr. Magnani is flexible regarding appointments (despite the great demand) and despite full Agenda always on time at the agreed meeting point. I can really recommend the Magnani driving school.

Hello to all future boatmen, Although I did the ship examination for coastal waters abroad a few years ago, Mr Magnani taught me a lot that I did not yet know and that I need to know for the required examination in Switzerland. His professionalism is complemented by his calm nature and it is also great that the boat is never smoky. As a non-smoker I was of course very happy about this, especially in winter when the cockpit was closed. I can only advise anyone to study with Mr Magnani. A success at the exam is certain. Even I passed as an Aargauer :) M. J. Killwangen
