Very interesting, because it was the first time I enjoyed night sailing, and I loved it. It is well thought out to do them from Friday to Saturday because then on Sunday you can rest, since you end up exhausted. It is a pleasure to have Miquel as an instructor again, who makes you want to continue expanding your knowledge about navigation.
Joana Casellas Rodríguez –
I loved it! The monitor, in Miquel, a crack! Tots hem après moltíssim d'ell. Bon professor, the explanations are impeccable. Congratulations.
Juan Vazquez –
I am very satisfied in general in all aspects, but especially with the teacher, since he simulated real situations for us in which we learned to react in the appropriate way. I also want to highlight the general atmosphere within the group where we carried out the internship, which was very collaborative and great camaraderie.
Belen Herrador –
It has been a wonderful weekend of practices. The Bavaria 50 boat is very spacious and even with 11 students + the teacher, we have had enough space for everything and everyone. On the other hand, with light winds the boat has sailed very fast. The internship group has been fabulous, despite not all of us knowing each other. A friendly atmosphere has been created and we have all collaborated in the guards, maneuvers, use of the sextant... even, voluntarily, in scrubbing the pots!!!! The teacher has taken us to Mallorca and back to Barcelona without mishaps or damage to people. Thanks Raul!!! It has resolved our doubts, it has given us confidence when the wind has risen, and we have all laughed a lot together. I cannot compare the school and the facilities with others, because it is the first time I go to the nautical school. But the organization of the courses seems very good to me and the level of teaching seems rather high and more than enough to pass if we study.

I also liked the trip to the islands. If you combine a highly empathetic instructor with a lot of experience and a high-end boat in very good condition, you not only learn a lot but you can also enjoy this special trip. I can recommend this 100% course to everyone!!

A great nautical school, I just got the PER with them and I recommend it 100×100, very professional and at the same time a very close treatment, the teachers are the best and especially Raul who this weekend we made the trip to the Balearic Islands and He is a 10 in all aspects, a great person and even better as a professional. Thank you escola port see you soon for the Yacht Skipper!!!
Miguel Angel –
A wonderful experience, a high-end boat, a committed teacher, spectacular group chemistry. It is definitely worth expanding the degree.
Juanma Castillo –
The experience of sailing practices together with the crossing to Mallorca has been spectacular! It's my first time sailing and I loved it. The organization is good, the boat is in very good condition. Regarding Raul Serrano, this is a separate case: I have received instruction in many areas, skydiving, diving, kick boxing, wind tunnel, in short, various experiences and I can say that it has been a luxury to meet Raul as an instructor. It is very noticeable that he has a very extensive and detailed knowledge of the marine world, apart from the experience he accumulates, but the best of all is his willingness to teach, to expand the information and to transmit it in a clear and adapted way to each of the participants. Achieving these three capabilities (technical knowledge, experience and aptitude for teaching) is tremendously difficult. Take care of it because it is undoubtedly a very important part of the school. As a criticism and of course with a constructive spirit, 10 people to do this practice are too many (as well as the engine ones) since it is not enough for us to operate everything that I consider necessary to come out of this fully prepared. And as a result of this, as a suggestion, you could complement for anyone who wants to continue acquiring knowledge and, above all, practice before going out to sea alone, you could organize one-day "post-course" outings along the coast of Barcelona, to continue consolidating knowledge. This is all friends, thank you very much for everything. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

It has been my first journey and I hope it will not be the last. It is a great experience, where you learn to navigate both by motor and sail and to share with your companions, you enjoy those moments of silence observing the sea, the sails, the stars and looking around the sides of the boat to see a dolphin. The teacher exclusively brought us a survival suit, which he let us try, it was something new for us. He was very attentive at all times, helping us with questions and testing us to gain experience. The most fun thing was seeing a defense drifting, and when we all saw it the professor said - man overboard maneuver, we quickly jibed, prepared a boat hook and got it the first time. Without a doubt, an experience to repeat again.

My experience on the coastal route was unique, taking into account that it is the first time I sail, the boat was very cozy and pleasant, the teacher is very sociable and fun, he explained to us how to drive the boat by motor and sail, the components of the ship, and where everything was located, the great thing is that it allowed us to drive it under its supervision. The companions are very friendly, we shared our stories and experiences during the journey, and also our food, even though it was very cold, the best thing was seeing the dolphins in the morning and the hundreds of stars at night, it is great, I would not hesitate to repeat it.
