  STAY CLEAR OF THIS TRAINING SCHOOL.
  
  ZERO STARS
  
  They ripped me off with a false information, they were provided with my previous certificates and I requested that I all I needed was just a refresher course. They said I could only do the full course, but then to find out on the final day they provide a 1 day refresher.
  Ontop of this, my certificate is not valid as an individual course from this training centre as they refused to give me a copy in English which can be requested by many other flagged vessels, when asking for this they told me i needed to have all my other STCW courses as a complete course even though I provided them with countless eveidence that I already have this.
  Ontop of this, they have the audacticity to ask the trainees of the course to pay the tax on the certificate to make it valid, which this was not explained previously or in any detial upon completion. I am now left in a situation of needing to re take my course and refresher at another location.
  
  As someone who has been in the industry a long long time, please avoid this training centre and theur beurocracy at all costs

  An absolute joke of a school unfortunately.
  
  They only give you a copy of your certificate in Spanish which is completely useless in the yachting industry, as english is the language of the seas.
  
  I have received absolutely no help in translating my certificate into english so i will therefore have to do my course all over again at a more established and professional school.
  
  Avoid wasting your time with these people.
  
  very annoying experience.

  I highly recommend this place. Escola Port has it all. I loved coming here because they provide exceptional service, adding warmth to the experience. They were kind and polite. Of course I’ll return.

  I have been trying to book my class and the woman that is answering the phone is so rude, this type of people does not make the reservations or approach easy. Please check on your employees customer service

  Was looking for a nautical school for quiet sometime, that could offer me the possibility of distant learning as well as allow me to connect with the professionals. There are many out there, but Escola Port was unique in that way, as beside the streaming classes, also offered mentoring classes and the practices were easy to schedule and organize. I flew to Barcelona with my dog and they also allowed me to keep it for the few hours I couldn't find a dog sitter. Highly recommendable !!

  Una vergüenza! Avoid! It is a terrible school. I have been waiting 5 months to get my license and still nothing. I paid them to do the expedition of the title so i dont have to deal with it. They promised I would get a provisional paper until I get my license, but they have given me nothing! Also keep in mind that the courses are not designed to teach you anything, they are just to get the paper.
  
  Edit: It's been 8 month now... I complained to the director, he didn't care, wrote me a letter that i have everything approved just to shut me up. But I can't sail with that obviously.
  Had to get another medical certificate as these expire every 3 months.. still waiting but I got nothing. It's something that should only take a week but they have done so many mistakes.
  
  Please choose another school, this one is the cheapest for a reason!

  Fantastic Nautical School. Did the onsite Patron and PER license. Facilities, boats and learning material are well designed for a fast and organized learning process. Website is very clear and structured. The Best? Instructors! Matthias (motor and Roca), Luis (sailing) and El Doctor (sailing) are outstanding, not only have extended nautical and even olympic experience, but they teach in a very practical and structured manner,so you learn the tricks and practice a lot (with their supervision). El Doctor is super attentive & funny! Well done Rodrigo and team!

  I just finished all requirements for the PER (including sailing + extension to go to the Balearic Islands). The school, administrative staff and professionals were fantastic. Beyond the basics, the care Rodrigo has for the students and presence at the school is notable; the staff was extremely responsive when I had questions/needed information; the instructors were very open to go as deep as desired into the detail of theory and practice. The overall experience getting my sailing license was great. H/t to Martin - one of the instructors - for an awesome 48 hour sailing practice to and from the Balearic Islands. Thanks, Escola Port!

  I did my PER with Escola port Barcelona because Of the good reviews on google but if I compare with other schools, I think it lacks quite a bit. First I got a photocopied manual when others give you a proper book. The quality of the online videos are acceptable but not great if compare to what one can find on YouTube. I did the extension to the Balearic islands and we were 12 students including the skipper. There is not way you can learn anything with so many people onboard. And finally, the “ROCA” course, marine vhf radio-operator doesn’t give you a standalone certificate so it is not recognised by countries like UK, Germany and Croatia. So if you plan to rent a sailboat there you need to find another school like RYA to take the vhf course again and take the exam and on completion they will issue an proper certification. I just took the RYA Day Skipper Practical course and I find that I can now sail with better knowledge. Hope this help others. Thanks

  Nice and windy port, where we can select boat for sailing in our team. This was my first experience and this was great. Ever

  Very friendly and professional, good judgement of skill. In this way there is no unnecessary long briefing, when you have experience. Big compliments! We took a jet ski for 30 minutes. Way out at sea with an escort ship. Excellent value for money!

  Experiencia inmejorable (12/05)! muy satisfecho por todo, por el trato y conocimiento para obtener la licencia. Capitán Carlos una pasada, una suerte haberte tenido como "profesor", no sólo da la materia teórico-práctico necesaria, sino que aporta sus experiencias propias muy interesantes, "trucos" que memorizas y además es una persona que te cae muy bien.
  Si me animo posteriormente a obtener el PER Patrón de embarcaciones preguntaré si lo impartes tú. Gracias por todo Carlos!

  I have a friend studying here and it is an innovative way to give both, a freedom sense and a worthy knowledge, to people, just teaching all the rules and procedures needed for achieving a good job and for enjoying what this sea environment has to offer to you. Wonderful!

  Marc F. Profesor de 10! Que de algo tan serio y complicado como es navegar en el mar, a darle un giro y hacer una clase amena, divertida y fácil! Cuando se trabaja de lo que a uno le apasiona, se nota. Recomendable al 100%

  Muy contento. Me he sacado el PNB con el profesor Marc Tarré y ha sido la caña. Toda una experiencia, sobretodo las prácticas. Lo recomiendo y me da mucha pena haber aprobado y que se termine... ¿ Tendré que ir a por el PER aunque no lo necesite ? :P

  Una escuela de 10. He sacado el curso de operador restringido y una maravilla.
  Empezando por la gente de recepción (amables atentos y siempre ayudando).
  La profesora (Elena) una autentica profesional, atenta y siempre intentando que no quedase ninguna duda en el aire.
  La organización del curso ha sido perfecta, todo bien cuadrado, material didáctico para cada alumno y los simuladores funcionando a la perfección.
  Recomendaré a todo el mundo EscolaPort... ha sido un placer! Volveré!

  Sin duda la mejor elección para sacaros el PER! Profesores excelentes (os recomiendo asistir a las clases de Jesus, es genial para aprender!!!) y material de calidad. Las practicas se hacen en barcos en muy buen estado (si lo haceis en temporada de invierno sereis menos alumos y toca a mas tiempo por cabeza) . La comunicación escuela-alumno es impecable y el aula nautica con todos los tests perfecta para practicas.
  
  Consejo: si podeis, hacer antes las practicas que el examen test, os ayudara muchisimo a visializarlo todo mas facilmente.

  Jet Ski was rather expensive so I expected to have full use of the watercraft. They did not tell me that they limit the watercraft to about 25% power. The max speed was only 15 miles per hour, about a quarter of its actual max speed. They refused to switch the jet ski the moment I discovered this and also let us ride for only about 15 minutes, half of what was advertised. Stay away.
