Hello! I'm Lucas, everything is very good, as always it's a 10 and I highly recommend it, they always have good organization and the final development of the practices is always phenomenal. How can we forget about the Escola port fleet, a marvel, whatever the boat you board, the experience is unique, since how much they look alike on the outside, each boat has its own characteristics, in short, it couldn't be better. For me, what stands out most about this school are the instructors and the good vibe between student and teacher, sometimes you even forget that you are in a class. I couldn't thank you more for the experience and I recommend it to 100%.

Captain Jesús, a cracker, gave us a beautiful journey without any inconvenience, attentive and fun at all times. The sailboat is equipped, although it needs a good set-up to get it up to 10.

The organization of the trip has been very good and the instructor Jesús Parra has been a crack and is very good at explaining what is useful for sailing safely and learning how to handle the boat and trim the sails.
Miguel Angel Ruiz –
The organization seems quite correct to me, in practice there were some errors but they were quickly corrected and I was able to repeat them without problem, the practices in the Balearic Islands with Sailing were a shame not to have any wind to be able to practice more with the handling of the different sails, the Fora Nirvis was the boat we used, the truth is that it is a very comfortable boat, of course we were only 5 people on board, it had some little things missing like the all-round light, the boat's engine was terrible, lucky for the Instructor who is a machine and was able to bring us closer to the port in Mallorca. The instructors are the best, very professional.
Albert Bassols –
The practice was very well organized, the instructor Jesús is a great professional with extensive experience at sea and excellent teaching skills. It not only teaches the theoretical terms but also helps to understand what each of the ropes does and its influence on the orientation of the sails. With this instructor you really learn to navigate successfully and he knows how to transmit his passion for sailing, creating at the same time a pleasant and bearable experience on the voyage.
Overall a very good experience that I would definitely repeat.
Juanjo Brown –
A very positive evaluation.
The initial information has been complete and the reservation process has been simple
The boat (Deneb) is good, maybe a little small for a group of 10 people
The instructor (in our case Jesus) was great!
María José Martos Galvez –
Everything out of 10, always informing, adapting the changes that I have had to make for work. Everything super easy.
Juan –
Exquisite professionalism
Jordi Ribó –
Good experience in general, the practice has been very good. Although with the storm back it was tough, I love having gone through that, because in the end you have to train at sea in all situations and you can see how well you can do even when there are high caliber winds and waves. . The Captain Spider (the boat) is a luxury and moves super well, it is a pleasure to be able to do practice with a boat of this caliber. The instructor, Jesus Parra, taught us with all the sympathy and knowledge that one could require, it was a pleasure to learn from him!
