Marc gave us the training in the best way, very dynamic, with great detail and he gave us his help at all times. As for the boats, we had an unforeseen event one day with one of them, but Rodrigo together with Marc correctly compensated us for that lost time, which fortunately was little. I am clear that I will do any other maritime training at this school.
