The practices are good, and the person who gave it to us, the Doctor, knows a lot. But honestly it is very poorly thought out and organized. In motor practices, being 10/12 people does not bother and is carried away. In sailing, they should not allow more than 6 people, since it makes the experience bad and you don't get to learn or practice much.
Rafa –
Everything very well explained, I recommend 100%
Vicente Izcara –
The organization is excellent, the instructors master the subject and know how to teach the sessions in a way that is easy to follow and very participatory. The essentials will be well learned 🙂
Manel Fradera –
Very good experience. The most professional that can be found today in any social field, far beyond the world of nautical: the telephone service, the teachers, the instructor, the fleet, it really has been an experience of 10. It is comforting to see that there are still organizations that look beyond economic and business interests. Thank you!

Everything is great. Concepts, implementation, errors and corrections. The practices are to learn how to really handle a sailboat.
Enrique –
The practices have been developed without any problems. The boat and the instructor were fantastic.
Agus –
Brilliant! We were lucky to have three different teachers (Doctor, Jesús and Charlie) and a 10 for each of them. They are motivated and you can see their enthusiasm for the sea and their desire to teach. The organization and communication on the part of the school is also very good 🙂

All very well ???? I am very happy, I would recommend the school to anyone, it has been worth it for me to come to Barcelona.

The professor (Doctor) who teaches the course is excellent at teaching, explaining and letting people do it. It thus allows you to make mistakes and correct them, making the practice very valuable for learning. A top level professional.
