Luis M. de Baldomero –
The sailing practices seemed good to me. The instructor is very correct and very professional. You can see the years of navigation. A boat prepared to carry out good practices and a correct number of students per practice. I really like that there is the possibility of hiring more hours with an instructor in small groups to continue gaining experience.

It was a lot of fun doing the ROCA classes with Matthias, a teacher who, apart from having fun in his classes, teaches you and cares about you learning. And the PER classes with Miquel, a boy who clearly likes his job and lives it. Without further ado, many thanks to the entire Escola Port team.
Xavier Leon –
ROCA classrooms are very well equipped and suitable for teaching classes. The only problem we had was one afternoon with the sewer smell that entered the class.
Victor –
Elena is a great teacher
Andreu Blanco –
Practical bones with a very professional professor. It's not that they are heavy and that they are all fun, but yes, I will lose more of the rigor and seriousness that they bring.
Manuel Paz –

Do the ROCA 2 and ROCA 3 practices at once, they are 8 hours in a row. What might initially seem tedious turned into pleasant, enjoyable, educational and enriching sessions. Very well organized, good material and excellent teaching staff. Congratulations

Highlight the professionalism of the teachers. Jesús very intense (repeat the exercises many times to assimilate them) and Miquel explains himself fantastically well and conveys a lot of tranquility.
