Marcel Badia –
The teacher was very patient and had great teaching ability, thank you David.
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.
David –
All perfect. The boat, the group and the captain Raúl Serrano were a luxury. The place where we went (Sóller) was wonderful. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
Manuel Garrido –
Positive evaluation with the content regarding the explanations of sailing.
Joaquim Rigau Cañardo –
The sailing practices (PER) have been correct in terms of what the School is responsible for: content, material, teaching distribution and the entire teacher. Malauradament the 16 hours are shown to be absolutely insufficient and the regulations of the Generalitat are of incompetence and serious extremes. The Schools have to press in order to increase the hours of training and to achieve the minimum level adequate in order to be competent to govern a vessel under "sail" like that of the practical ones (10.6 m in length). I consider only 16 hours to be a difficult period to control.
Francisco –
Very good organization, the practices carried out with Miquel were excellent and the boat was very comfortable and safe.
Beatriz de Mora –
A very positive experience, since we were lucky to have a windy day and Miquel taught us everything we needed to enjoy the day.
The boat is very good and the organization and covid control too. Thank you so much
David More –
All very well!!!
Oscar Jesus Montoro Berbel –
Suitable for exam preparation. With facilities, platform and very qualified and pioneering teachers. Recommendable.
Marti –
Very good material, very good online platform. Notes have some errors but very good. In general, if the objective is to pass it is perfect, if you want to understand and learn perhaps not so much.
