After a weekend of internship in the port and coastal navigation, I have to say that Luis is an excellent teacher, very didactic and makes what may seem complicated for a new PER like me, something much easier. Luis gives you confidence and also makes you have a good time.

A very beneficial course focused on port maneuvers: mooring, approaching the gas station, etc., but also with time to navigate. Luis is a great skipper to learn from. I'll definitely be joining him again!

Hi Daniel, thank you very much for your feedback. The weekend was great, despite the changing weather. As you say, we adapted and did a lot of maneuvering in port in different wind conditions. We took advantage of Sunday to sail in the strong wind and reef the boats. Best regards!

Highly recommended. There are no similar experiences. Being a small group, you get a lot out of it. Luis is a professional skipper with a lot of experience, and everything you learn from him is worth its weight in gold. We not only docked and undocked, but we also sailed and motored, and anchored, so it was a great experience.

Hi Carlos, thanks for your positive review. The weekend was very good. It's true that there aren't any port maneuvering courses, and I'm offering them with limited places to optimize and provide you with optimal training. The weather changed a lot, but we took advantage of it both in port maneuvers and sailing. Best regards!
