Free Maritime Practice Questions

We cover STCW basic and advanced safety training, USCG captain licenses (OUPV six-pack through Master Unlimited), engineer credentials, RYA Yachtmaster theory, and national certificates of competency from authorities including Nigeria's NIMASA, Bangladesh, Ghana, Jamaica, South Africa's SAMSA, and Transport Canada, plus recreational boating and skipper tests.

Yes. Every maritime practice question is 100% free with detailed answer explanations, and an AI tutor is included to explain concepts and work through tricky scenarios at no cost.

Start with the theory your certificate requires—for STCW that means safety, firefighting, survival, and security topics; for USCG captain licenses it means rules of the road (COLREGs), navigation, deck general, and safety. Work through practice questions by topic, aim for 80%+ consistently, and review the explanation for every wrong answer before your exam date.

Around 1.89 million seafarers crew the global merchant fleet (BIMCO/ICS 2021). In the US, water transportation workers earn a median $66,490 per year and held about 84,300 jobs in 2024 (BLS), with roughly 9,500 openings projected annually through 2034. Roles range from deckhand and able seaman to licensed officer, captain, and chief engineer.

Our questions mirror the format, topic weighting, and difficulty of the official exams—USCG modules, STCW course assessments, and national CoC papers—using the same rules-of-the-road, navigation, and safety scenarios you will face. They are study tools, not leaked exam questions.

Difficulty varies by credential. USCG captain exams require 70% to pass most modules and 90% on the Rules of the Road, while STCW course assessments are competency-based checks you must complete in full. Consistent practice-question review is the most reliable way to pass on the first attempt.
