En mi caso hice el PER a Bordo, estudié tres semanas online y aprové la teórica sin problema. La travesia fue geníal, una maravilla sentirte tan conectado al mar. Nuestro formador fué JOSE, muy atento y profesional en todo momento, respondiendo a todas las dudas o curiosidades que podíamos tener. Se nota que la escuela lleva años formando a gente con una gestión muy profesional. Sin duda volveré a por mis títulos superiores :)

Hice el PER a bordo + Baleares y fue un gran experiencia! Jose nos acompañó durante toda la semana con prácticas a motor/vela, clases teóricas y en la travesía a Baleares. Alucinante! La organización de la escuela, la pasión de Jose el instructor y el estado de los barcos, todo genial! Sin duda, volveré pronto!

Los profesores son atentos, responden todas tun preguntas y hacen agradable la experiencia. Me divertí mucho en las practicas de navegación. Lo mejor es el club para poder seguir navegando despues de las practicas de manera economica. Para mí inmejorable
