Because here, teaching is sharing the passion for the sea.

An effort and commitment that have made Escola Port the leading private nautical training center in Catalonia.



Greetings from the director
Welcome to Escola Port!
On behalf of the entire team and on my own behalf, I want to Thank you for visiting our website. and welcome you to our nautical community.
My life has always been linked to the sea, and Escola Port I have worked to transmit this passion and experience to our entire teaching, technical and administrative team. We all share a common goal: to provide you with exceptional training and ensure that your experience with us is unforgettable.
When the world faced the pandemic, our team worked hard to adapt and create a platform that would allow us to continue training our students live, remotely. Today, this platform of streaming courses has become a national benchmark in nautical teaching, and we continue to innovate to make learning increasingly accessible and flexible.
We are aware that the training and employment are important concerns for many people. That's why in 2016 we inaugurated PROFESSIONAL MARINE TRAINING, a center specializing in professional training and STCW coursesWith this project, we help those who want to make the sea their profession to achieve their goals and enter the nautical/maritime sector.
A Escola Port We also have a strong commitment to environment and societyFor this reason, we dedicate part of our profits to social actions through the Port Blau Foundation, from where we develop initiatives within the framework of theblue economy to promote a more sustainable and inclusive nautical industry.
There are many reasons why Escola Port is the best option for your nautical training, and in this our blog post I will try to prove it to you.
If you decide to train at Escola Port, I guarantee you will experience a enriching experience surrounded by a team of professionals passionate about the sea.
We are waiting for you!
