Walter prepared us really well for the Yachtmaster Exam. I learned a lot by getting hands on experience, especially on engine maintenance. The boat was in excellent condition. The Yachtmaster Exam itself was something like I never experienced before. I was examined in all aspects of theory, and sailing both in the marina and out at sea, day and night. The exam took 8 hours. It was quite a challenge. I recommend it! I like a challenge.

I have attended literally hundreds of 5 day courses over the past 20 years. This sailing course in Alicante must rank at the very top. Excellent instruction and explanations. Usage of time could not be bettered – 100% efficient. Alicante nightlife – I have been round the world hundreds of time and why bother – this place has it all, it is truly sensational.
