Practices perfectly explained and constantly doing practical exercises. Very easy to assimilate and even fun.
Cesar Cabral –
As always with Escola Port I learned a lot in these practices. The boats are in very good condition and the teachers have a lot of experience
Albert Conesa –
My assessment is very positive, I did the sailing practice and I wanted to highlight both the great professionalism of our sailing teacher and the entire Escola Port team, thank you very much and we will surely continue to see each other in future courses.
Hector DV –
Everything was very good, the instructor was friendly and very knowledgeable about sailing. It's a shame the weather was very calm and we had little wind.
Maria –
The practice of sailing has been developed with seriousness and rigor but in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The teacher politely explained and repeated all the concepts about sail trimming, and insisted that all students be in all positions and have the opportunity to perform all the maneuvers as many times as necessary. During all hours of practice we were active participating in all activities.
Mark Ferrer –
Everything is great!!! We did all the maneuvers needed to enjoy sailing and we repeated them several times. Little wind but very well used

I really liked the level of the instructors, especially Carlos Sala and the 'doctor' as well as the group that we met.

Nothing to object, everything is perfect from my point of view
