Provided a very good orientation to the nautical geography of the BVIs before I departed for my charter in BVI. I highly recommend this course for everyone going to the BVIs. I will review this course before any subsequent trips to the BVIs.

Really seems like a great first timer overview. NauticEd does a great job of designing and presenting. This will be a good ref for our first trip (maybe 2).

Sea talk testimonials

I enjoy the friendship of quite a few sailors. I don't hesitate to recommend your Nauticed courses to them. The main value of the courses are that it provides a platform on which one anticipates scenarios at sea. Prior thinking and planning is key to safety in my view.
