A well planned, organized and executed workshop. Designed by expert sailors for sailors who one day want to be one and who, first, will have to overcome a lot of fears that arise continuously in the workshop and have to be resolved by aspiring skippers.
Perfect mix of learning and fun.

Excellent experience for anyone who wants to acquire the knowledge, autonomy and security to be a skipper or simply enjoy a few days at sea. Eduardo and his team of skippers (Paco, Luna, Luis,...) are exceptional people. Very good atmosphere and organization. 100% recommended.

Fantastic instructor, very good hiking companion and excellent person. His courses, which he organizes in a meticulous way, do not leave you indifferent and you learn yes or yes in a playful and entertaining way. Next summer I repeat. Thanks for everything Edu, I only have good words and good memories.
<br> See you soon
