Very happy with the practices and especially with the teacher (Marc). He clarified all our doubts and more.
Alexander –
Marc is a great professional and thanks to him the theory has become much more understood in practice. Thanks for everything!
Antonio Manuel Delgado Trevino –
Just like the first time it was wonderful, in addition the sailing practices with Julio in force from 4 to 7 were spectacular and have helped me learn a lot. Thanks to the school, Julio and Mark for their dedication and the magnificent work they do I also really liked the radio practices, they were very fun, I had a very pleasant morning and it seemed short.
Daniel Perez –
The staff is very friendly and educational, both Marc and Jonathan, who have instructed us in the theory, practice of radio and navigation, are very patient and affable. The school is highly recommended for anyone who wants to obtain a navigation degree.
Carles Ballbe –
The "man overboard" ones very interesting. I had done the others when I got my LN, so I didn't find them as interesting. The station ones were also very interesting.
Jordi C. –
Everything is great. I had 0 knowledge of nautical skills and after the PNB practices I feel like I can go sailing without problems. The teachers 10/10 and the 200hp semi-rigid is great for learning to maneuver.

Navigation and radio practices are not intended to be very useful for carrying a water motorcycle, but it is necessary to have the basic coneixements to go to sea. The professor, in Jesús Parra, is a very collonut, very entertaining and proper, but also very professional. You will have a lot of patience for two hours in a row with a group of many people and you will be very happy.
Jordi Vidal –
School = knows how to treat people poorly. Facilities = fair in terms of order/cleanliness. Teachers = very good Boats = I would have preferred a sailboat. The practices were very boring. The teacher told us that he couldn't use gas so the trip was soporific. After practicing everything necessary there is nothing more to do. The practices were to go to Badalona. In 8 hours you can go to better places. A disaster. The good teacher.

I value Jesús very positively, who I believe has done some fantastic internships and created a perfect environment, without neglecting learning. From 1 to 10 a 9.
