Rated 4.97/5 by 22 students
While my passion is growing NauticEd globally as the Director of Education, I still need to get out on the water and what better way than to actually be doing some teaching. Our HQ Sailing school has three boats in our fleet. A new Jeanneau 410 for Bareboat Charter Training, a Beneteau 373, and a Hunter 33 for doing large keelboat training. Come to beautiful Lake Travis, learn to sail and learn about NauticEd's global plans at the same time. Or join us on our many International flotillas we organize. And what better way to be skipper on a flotilla is to get some local training on our amazing fleet of boats. Call us now.

Location

Lake Travis

101 Lakeway Dr Austin, TX 78734 USA Map it
Available weekdays and weekends. Training boat available is a Jeanneau 410. Can also train on other boats. I can travel to the Caribbean for longer term training.
Notes: Lake Travis is a great sailing training lake. There are many coves for anchoring for lunch or overnight stops. The winds are a little shifty which makes for good training.

Grant was a great help in obtaining my SLC for my bareboat charter to Croatia. He also has a wealth of knowledge about bareboat charter vacations around the world, so he is very inspiring to those who want to get out and see it. Highly recommend Nauticed!
