Carlos Vallbona –
Matthias explains perfectly the maneuvers that must be carried out on any boat. Matthias ensures that the nautical day passes in a relaxed atmosphere, taking into account the necessary safety measures. 16 hours of very enriching practice.
Pablo –
Everything perfect, the teacher a 10. Delighted
Marcos Becerro –
The incredible teachers: very professional, attentive, friendly (and patient)... a 10. The fantastic facilities and the classrooms in very good condition. Everything was great in my ROCA internship.
Michael Perez –
Despite some small computer problems, everything was very correct. Matthias, the teacher, making the 1st day enjoyable with the entire presentation of the theoretical part. The rest of the days, we had fun practicing in the simulators an endless number of possible real situations, to be able to face them safely, if necessary, in navigation.
Gabriel Agustin Bedia –
EVERYTHING PERFECT!!
Michael Perez –
A great experience! It is advisable to do the PER Motor practices at Escola Port. We have done them on the Artimó, which although it is a few years old, is a sailboat that has behaved well, even in adverse sea conditions. The skipper, Matthias, a charming teacher, who has captained the ship with a good dose of good humor, but maintaining the seriousness and respect that we owe to the sea. A pleasure to learn navigation with him and with my fellow travelers. I hope to find a space in my agenda to repeat, but this time, with Sailing practices. Bon vent and oratge, and sea for sailing!
Nicolás U. Mayor –
The school is fantastic. The administration staff, the director, the sailors and Matías (the only skipper I know and also a teacher of the ROCA course) have been sensational. I am very happy with the price of the courses (I think it is one of the most competitive in Catalonia) as well as the boats, the schedules, the possibility of different types of courses throughout the term as well as the dynamics of the practices and theoretical classes. I have also been very happy with my colleagues, although that is not an opinion of Escola Port. In short, it was a good decision to have chosen them. I recommend the school at 100%.
Javier Vazquez –
It has been a very good experience. The entire practice has been very dynamic and the truth is that with Matias, the pattern that the practice has given us, we learn a lot. My evaluation is very positive.
Andrew –
Hello sailors, I'm Andrés… perfect organization and schedules according to the needs of the students. The practice was perfect and we learned the most important thing on a boat; collaboration, help and respect for all colleagues and of course making the theory a reality and putting it into practice. »Artimo» is a great sailboat in good condition and conservation. And finally starting with the girls at reception and ending with the skippers ( teachers) it is a pleasure to learn and be with great professionals, especially Elena for giving us ROCA with enthusiasm, making us participate in all the material given and Matthias (PER boss), for listening to us, helping us, instructing us and above all putting up with us, two intense days of PER motor. Thanks to everyone. Good bow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
