• EXPERT “BEEN THERE – DONE THAT” KNOWLEDGE: The NauticEd team are experts.  We’ve been to just about every charter destination out there.  Let us share our first-hand experiences and recommendations with you. We can tell you which destinations are better for remote secluded vacations and which ones are suited to bar-hopping or infused with culture and history.  We can tell you which catamaran has a full-size fridge, which monohulls have a furling mainsail, which powerboat has a water maker, which crewed yacht has the best cook, and which gulet has the best layout for family and friends.  We can advise as to experience and whether your experience is sufficient to bareboat or whether you need a particular license, or why having a skipper can make a fantastic trip for either a non or new sailor or an experienced one. We have extensive knowledge of maritime regulations, official specifications, and contracts related to chartering.  The NauticEd team regularly attends boat shows and charter-only expos allowing us to have the latest and most up-to-date industry information and to form relationships with charter owners and charter companies around the globe. In essence, we invest in knowledge to help you, our valuable client.

• SAILORS: We are sailors.   We are renowned sailing educators.  We are a recognized sailing education body by governments including the USA and Croatia. Our world revolves around sailing! We are not a search and sell anything agency. If you can find something cheaper, there often is a reason.

• TECHNOLOGY: All charter clients have an individualized dashboard. Here you can keep track of boat details, invoice amounts, and paperwork to-dos.  If you’re an experienced sailor, your NauticEd yacht charter automatically gets an authenticated logbook entry through NauticEd’s proprietary software.  Your online logbook and resume enable easy access to gaining charter company approval.

• INDEPENDENT: We work for you.  We’re not tied to a particular charter fleet, owner, or company.  So we share our independent advice about what will suit your desires.

• CURATED: We provide curated customized vacations.  We provide options that suit your needs, preferences, and budget.  We find out about your ideal vacation and provide you with personalized options.

• DISCOUNTS: We can search for discounts, use our reputation to XYA, and if you’re a NauticEd student, your rank and level can get your additional discounts with certain charter companies.
