The school has a fantastic operation, all facilities.
The instructors are very motivated and competent people, always approachable and you can tell that they love sailing.
The fleet of boats is large and varied, most of the boats are fairly new and very well maintained. It allows you to try different boats (brands, lengths, etc.) throughout the practices.
Alex –
Amazing experience
Lawrence –
All perfect!
Tatyana Karpova –
Everything has been great. I am very satisfied with the experience. The organization of the school is impeccable, with clear and efficient communication.
The internship exceeded my expectations, well structured and adapted to our needs. The boat was in excellent condition and I felt safe at all times.
The instructor was exceptional, with great knowledge, patience and enthusiasm.
In short, the school is very professional and friendly. They have exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you for such a positive experience.
Olga Dalmau –
I think that in the moments of navigation that are long, it should be used to do something, be it knots, repàs or safety, parts of the boat, anything other than spending an hour sailing without doing anything else.
On the other hand, the ideal thing would be to do the gas station anchoring or unmooring maneuvers first with the instructor giving instructions but then do it a couple of times without his instructions (only in case of risk).
It is clear that this requires more time, so reducing navigation time and increasing maneuvers would be a perfect practice :)
David on the other hand very good.
Ana Sanchez –
I really liked the trip, it was very well organized. Jose, the instructor taught us and explained everything very well. We learned a lot with the guards, everything was very enjoyable. He was an instructor of 10, he knows a lot, he knows how to transmit it and give confidence at all times.
Gilbert Taganile –
The school is very good, I appreciate that they have adapted to my situation for the course dates. The instructors are very professional during the practices, especially David.
It only remains to comment that sometimes during the practices there were moments when Catalan was spoken between students and instructor, but not everyone understands Catalan since there are some students who are from another country, so the practices become difficult to understand.

We have had three different instructors which has allowed us to have a range of interesting approaches. Common in safety but different in technique, which allows you to have some self-confidence.
Irene –
The practices have been very enjoyable, the school staff very friendly and the boat very well maintained. Thank Jose, our instructor, for his way of teaching, his time and his patience, because it was very fun and educational at the same time.
