Maria Guida –
Very good experience sailing practices with David Lorente, great professional, very attentive and very pleasant treatment. We have learnt a lot.
If the group was restricted to fewer people it would be even better.

Adonis Altwarg Carrizo –
Everything is perfect, thank you.
Antoni Cruz –
It has been a very positive experience, both the organization and the planning of the practices and the boat are unbeatable, and if you are lucky enough to have Álvaro García as an instructor, you will learn to sail in an orthodox, fun and safe way. Without a doubt it is the best navigation school.
Miguel Angel –
All good, the boat (captain spider) is quite spacious (50 feet and 5 double cabins) and is in good condition, except for some sheets that ask for change. The organization was correct and wisely not going to the Balearic Islands as planned due to the possible storm and proposing traveling to the delta as an alternative. Captain Alvaro was very good and satisfactorily shared his knowledge and experience.
Robert –
Very good, despite the bad weather, the management of the schedules to be able to do the practice was very good.

Everything has gone phenomenal. Xarli is an excellent instructor and despite having hardly any wind for sailing practice, he made us make the most of the class. Totally recommended
