Questions about the experience small Boat (VMP) Captain Course
Hello, I bought a voucher for my husband as a gift. In the description of the experience here on the website it says that "The course includes a guided cruise with a large cruise ship around Prague", but this is not written directly on the voucher. Thank you Zuzana Moravcová
hello The theory part is in Czech, right? Can I take a translator with me, and if so, where can I register for the theory part after the course? I know the captain will arrange the theory part after the course, but I am interested in where to find it and where to take it because I am not that long in Prague. Kind regards Erik Krauland
