Sailing in Tahiti: Navigation Tips
The NauticEd crew headed out on our annual Bareboat Charter Master Graduation Sailing Trip. Lessons learned and navigation tips sailing in Tahiti.
My vision for NauticEd is to ensure that families and friends get out on the water not only safely but with true COMPETENCE, confidently savoring every moment of their valuable time.
Achieving this means being the pinnacle of sailing and boating education—offering comprehensive multi-media theoretical instruction coupled with hands-on, on-the-water training through our global network of American National Standards Instructors. We steadfastly avoid becoming a mere certification mill; our focus is on delivering genuine competence, ensuring our students are well-prepared for enjoyable, real-world boating experiences.
