It was a success to have chosen Escola Port to obtain the PER + Baleares. A 10 for all the staff who teach theory and practices, boats in good condition, very good intranet that is great support for studying theory. And the practice of expanding to the Balearic Islands is a unique experience. Without a doubt I recommend them. Thanks for everything.

Rositsa Angelova –
Excellent organization in every way. The person responsible for the practices has shown great professionalism at all times. It has been a fantastic experience to be able to sail for a weekend and it is highly recommended for practicing sailing.

Brilliant. A magnificent voyage to Mallorca and return to Barcelona led by Jesús and 7 PER colleagues aboard the Fora Nirvis. We have enjoyed, learned and had a great time. I would repeat it if only for pleasure. During the outward journey we got to know the boat and lost the "fear" of sailing in the open sea based on 2-hour watches in pairs and Jesus' willingness to explain, help and give advice no matter what time it was. During Saturday morning he explained theory to us about each of the ropes and sails and how they are used according to the wind. On the way back, braver, and with the help of a little more wind, we were practicing tacking maneuvers with sail using the jib. Really, great. 10/10

Santiago Ferro –
Islands 48 hours: all 10 points. Excellent Jesus.
Juan L. Martin –
Everything was very easy, from the purchase and payment of the internship, through the reservation, all online, to the boarding, the crossing (very fun with paella in Mallorca and a thunderstorm on the return). The captain, Jesús, a machine, breathes experience and security everywhere.
We were hit by one of the worst storms I have ever experienced, and he managed it in such a way that I wasn't scared, I actually had a good time.
100% recommended!
Arcadio –
In general, a very good experience, 100% is recommended.

It has been an experience that I will never forget. I wish we had been warned of the weather forecast correctly ahead of time. I probably wouldn't have gotten on the boat. That didn't seem right to me because we were told on Thursday that the prognosis was good and it wasn't true. No application supported the prediction that the school warned us about. It wasn't until the same Friday just before boarding that we were told that we were going to have a busy journey. Fortunately we were in very good hands. Jesús is a great boss, experienced and who knew how to convey peace of mind at all times. Even on the return, when we crossed a very harsh cold front, he steered the boat perfectly at all times, transmitting confidence and security. Fortunately we were in very good hands. Of course, I don't know if the decision to leave the port of Soller was the most prudent thing to do with an inexperienced crew and the foresight that existed. We should have left sooner or later surely. In any case, in the end I value it as a positive experience. I will never forget her and I have learned a lot to be clear about the respect we must have for the sea.
