5 months agoI did my RYA Power Boat Level 2 Training with Julio Verne Nautica and really enjoyed it. My instructor was very professional, fun, knowledgeable and importantly patient. I’ll be back for more training.

4 months agoI had an amazing week with Julio Verne, especially because of instructor Dani and skipper Manu, with whom I did the Yachtmaster prep and exam. Dani is a highly skilled and experienced sailor, and very dedicated to getting the best out of his trainees (with success, as all of us passed the exam). Manu has a wealth of knowledge on everything from astronavigation to weather systems, and loves explaining them. Highly recommended.
