Sailing Vacations
What a better gift than surprising your loved ones with a sailing vacation anywhere in the world!? If with a family (or new to chartering), consider joining a flotilla in Croatia or Greece.

We don’t charge a fee – actually, we will probably save you money because of our extended search capabilities. To inquire about a sailing vacation or charter, start here >.
Family-Friendly Sailing Flotillas
Flotillas are great fun whether you’re an experienced voyager or new to chartering an area! If new, then flotillas are an opportunity to gain experience with the safety and companionship of the group. Charter a boat for your family and friends, or rent a cabin on another boat. Enjoy the sailing and discovering ancient cities, remote beaches, and hidden bays with plenty of activities.

Sailor Holiday Cheer!
Team NauticEd likes to have fun – like too many eggnog’s worth of fun when selecting our fearless leader Grant Headifen’s (Global Director of Education) holiday pic. Below, sharing some of our choices – Salty Sailor joking aside…
We wish you and yours a GREAT holiday filled with joy and laughter with family and friends.
Rudolf? This was a bit too comical.
Santa’s Helper? Not really, Grant’s the boss…
Not sure if this is a sailing Santa or Yeti. A bit too creepy.
Grinch? HA! Just right (smile)
