Description of the experience
It is not a typical sailing cruise. It is one of those sailboat cruises that transforms you, where the destination matters as much as the journey. A sailboat, a voyage, and you as an active part of the crew.
We propose you to embark on an ocean sailing trip where you will be an active part of the crew. You will learn, live and experience the sea from the inside, guided by certified instructors and surrounded by other sailors eager for adventure.
You will be part of a real sailing team: you will do watches, plan routes, take the helm and share moments you will hardly forget. All aboard La Peregrina, a solid, cozy sailboat ready to cross oceans.

Have been trained with Julio Verne Náutica
-Quique, nuestro capitán, de 10 como persona y como formador. Siempre dispuesto y activo, haciéndonos capaces de tomar decisiones en cada situación, respondiendo amablemente a cualquier duda o cuestión planteada.
- La escuela: Jessica siempre pendiente de los detalles, de la comunicación y dar la información necesaria cuando se le pedía.
- El disponer de un camarote de lujo con baño para cada uno de los alumnos.
- Sentirse cómodo y seguro navegando a vela con 30 nudos de viento.
- Formación teórica y práctica bien planificada, sin improvisaciones.
Conclusión: mi formación para Capitán será en esta escuela, sin duda.
Estupendos instructores y mejores personas, hacen que los aprendizajes sean amenos y gracias a su gran paciencia, consiguen también que nuestras meteduras de pata vayan disminuyendo explicándonos porqué han sucedido.
Creo que su idea de hacer las prácticas con grupos reducidos, es un plus a favor de los alumnos ya que disponemos de ese puntito de atención individualizada que cada uno necesitamos.
Consiguen también que la convivencia entre los integrantes de las tripulaciones sea realmente agradable.
En cuanto a embarcaciones (conozco tres de ellas) y material a bordo, ni un pero. En ninguna de las tres ocasiones que he navegado con ellos he tenido queja.
Sin olvidar a su personal de oficina, siempre dispuesta a echar un cabo en cuanto a papeleo, información o dudas.
Yo lo tengo claro, en cuanto pueda, más…..
But there are few that form, retain and connect you with the sea like this one.
