I did the intensive PNB course with David, we learned and really enjoyed the internship. Over time I hope to continue learning more about navigation and do more practice, thank you very much.
Gina Costa –
I did the PNB internship at school and it was really great. Both the morning and afternoon monitors were super nice, they explained everything to us clearly and very pleasantly. All of us in the group were able to navigate and perform maneuvers and we were lucky enough to be able to navigate at night and see all the lights. In addition to enjoying a spectacular sunset on the boat

Very correct, good facilities and good teachers. Doing the practices with a sailboat would have been very good too.
