Pedro Moreno – May 16, 2023

The teachers seemed perfect to me, the boat was very good also, maybe I would do a little more practice inside the mooring port, etc. but in general perfect. Enough to know how a ship of these dimensions reacts.

Marc Prenafeta – May 10, 2023

L _x0019_instructor molt be. The practice itself is a perdua de temps. The boat was uncomfortable for so many people. In the radio classes, in the theoretical classes and in general it is not possible to serve Catalan to everyone. It is discriminatory against those who are Catalan speakers
