The experience has been great, especially because of the people and of course because of the teaching and experience of Jesús Parra. Unrepeatable. I miss a theoretical part of sailing; types of ropes, sails, winds, how to use each of them and why. Learning it only in a practical way is insufficient for me.
Rafael Pardillos Pérez –
The teacher seemed to me to be a person with a lot of experience and good ways of teaching.
The organization as it should be.
And the experience has been great because we have enjoyed different sea and weather situations.
I'm already looking forward to getting back into the water.
Borja de Bufalá –
The best thing about the experience was Jesús's professionalism and his way of explaining things, making the weekend very entertaining and we learned many things. Highly recommended for sea lovers. Thank you
Joanna –
The 48 islands with Martin have been fantastic! With some bad weather at times, we have been able to experience everything. It has been an experience to repeat without a doubt. Thanks, Martin!
Jaume Llobregat –
Everything perfect, nothing to add! Jesus makes the difficult easy, I recommend him at 100%.
Angel Lopez Traserra –
Very good journey, excellent companions and the Skipper a 10!
Miguel S. –
Everything is great, Jesús Parra, teacher with a lot of experience at sea
Africa Brau García –
A wonderful experience, a dedicated and eager teacher apart from a lot of experience in the sea, the truth is that for me a 10 I only think that with the price paid at least the water could be included... but for everything else great!
Eve –
A great experience to be able to make this journey with your school, and a special thank you to Captain Jesús for his professionalism, experience and knowledge.
Thierry de RICARD –
As far as I'm concerned, the 48h islands practice was a memorable experience in every sense of the word. Great professionalism on the part of Jesús (who I already had the pleasure of meeting with the theorist) that allowed me to discover the joys of sailing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH to him. For the school everything is perfect and the possibility of following the students on their journey on the internet is a very good idea. Greetings.
