Family-Friendly Sailing Flotillas
Flotillas are great fun whether you’re an experienced voyager or new to chartering an area!

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)
