Understand The NauticEd Sailing Certification

There is just no more fun than flying into a sailing destination, getting a local's briefing about which coves, bays and islands you're about to spend your next week or two, then jumping on board and heading off. Personally, we go somewhere in the Mediterranean, Pacific or Caribbean every year. Various friends join us for the trip of their life time. Follow our blog series, become a fan of NauticEd's facebook page and/or follow us on twitter.
The following is a list of charter companies and their specialties. You might also check out our friends at Charter Advisors, they specialize in charter company rankings and advice. And our friends at Mt Gay Rum who provide the Sailing Spoken Here sailing community.
