Very good instructors, all with great nautical CV. All of them very collaborative, close and great professionals with a great desire to transmit.
Carlos –
Excellent. I thought it would be just another procedure to get the license but I have learned much more than I expected. A ten for Javier. He knows and transmits what he knows.

Excellent organization and travel experience. I especially want to highlight the performance of Captain Alvaro, always willing to explain, with a lot of patience and dedication, but also giving autonomy and decision-making capacity to future skippers.
Odi Bazo –
The Escola Port in terms of organizing the perfect trip, a very good boat, learning from excellent practice, the super attentive instructor Álvaro García, has explained to us and reviewed all the content, has put us in arms, and has made the journey be super useful and enjoyable and unforgettable. Highly recommended! Thank you Escola Port.
Robert –
Both Jesús, the doctor and Román are all crackers. Thank you
Joaquim Soler –
All instructors are super professional, with experience in many fields of navigation. A thousand thanks to them and to Escola Port.
Emiliano –
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.
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!
Miguel Angel Irigoyen –
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.
