I would like to thank the instructors Matthias, Jesús, Marc, Martín and Tomeu for their teachings on maneuvering and navigation with motor and sail, which I will develop with more practice in future outings within the sailing club.
Adria –
The instructor Mattias was very funny, it was a practice with a lot of new knowledge and very entertaining!
Ivan Nonell –
Hello, regarding the engine practices, the only drawback was not being able to manage the engine power and we could only steer. As for the radio practice, it was very entertaining and helped us acquire the basic knowledge for using the radio.
Paco Oñate –
Overall, a very positive experience. The facilities, boats and, above all, the instructors are of a high standard. The training and information received is sufficient to obtain the certificate without any major difficulty. Without a doubt, I recommend Escola Port as a centre to obtain this type of certificate. Thank you very much.
Robert –
I have learned from them, it has been a good experience.
Francesc Perelló Rigola –
The organization, material and teaching are 10; regarding the practices, a 2 out of 10 due to too many students at the same time and a lot of time is lost in the rotations, and a 0 out of 10 in the aspect of the accelerator-neutral reverse gear (they don't let us touch it).

Everything went well and there were no negative aspects to highlight.
Pablo Payno –
The teachers were both very nice and taught a lot.
Victor –
Internships are a good way to gain basic knowledge of boat handling. The main negative point I find is that because of the large group size (11 students) there is less direct experience than with a smaller group.

Great! The only downside is that there were a lot of us on the boat and we couldn't all participate in many manoeuvres. I think 6/7 people would be a more ideal number.
The teacher was very good and very good at teaching; you can tell he loves doing what he does.
The organization is good. Perhaps the school could provide water for the trip.
