Ricardo Gustavo Gutierrez –
I want to give my opinion regarding the Yacht Skipper course carried out. Carried out online, which allowed us to optimize time with the same training as in person. The practice carried out in a Bavaria 50, a luxury boat for any nautical school, very well maintained in perfect condition of cleanliness and equipment. Captain's capacity, as is the school's norm, is excellent, with experience in training and as a sailor, knowledgeable in all the aspects associated with an educational voyage for students. Great ability to organize the crew with the delegation of roles and functions. I present navigation alternatives depending on the weather and navigation conditions to take advantage of the opportunities for different experiences on board, such as going to a cove outside the program or altering the return route. In addition to the crossing, I include entry into other ports, favoring the situation of various ports with dead reckoning navigation and modification of the route to dock in alternative ports.
Colorario, there is always a plus to exceed expectations, as has been the case in every activity developed by Escola Port.
