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 !!

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

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!

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!
