a month agoI've had the best experience with Julio Verne! Communication with Jessica was very clear and fast, Daniel was amazing during check in and check out and available for questions during the charter. The condition of the boat was wonderful, clean inside and out and well maintained. Thank you, and I'll be back for more!

in the last week. We had a great time sailing in Galicia on the boat Fix by Jules Verne. The team was very nice and professional. We can highly recommend them and would love to come back.

a week agoI took the five-day Day Skipper Practical course with Julio Verne Nautica and am 100% satisfied! Jessica was very helpful and responsive right from the start and answered all of my questions. The instructor, Francisco, is an excellent teacher as well as an entertaining shipmate and good cook. We had both Day Skipper and Competent Crew students aboard Nemo (a Grand Soleil 43) and he had us working together as a team from the start. Each day started with a little theory on topics ranging from VHF and AIS to use of safety equipment and handling emergencies to everything that goes into planning long passages (and lots more). Once we were on the water (6-8 hours a day), there was real, "hands on" experience at the helm in plenty of challenging situations, including docking in tight spaces, anchoring, picking up moorings, man overboard scenarios, and more. As Day Skipper candidates, we were expected to create a passage plan for a long sail, utilizing both paper charts, electronic and other navigation tools to safely navigate the boat to our destination and back to the harbor at night. All in all, a great week, helped even more by the beauty of the Monte Real Yacht Club and the surrounding area, including the Cies Islands.
