Couples Learn to sail in austin, on lake travis

Learn Together. Connect Through Adventure. Sail with Confidence.

Sailing as a couple isn’t just a lesson—it’s a shared experience that builds teamwork, communication, and unforgettable memories on the water.

Our Couples Learn to Sail program on Lake Travis is designed specifically for partners who want to learn sailing together. You’ll both be hands-on from the first minute—steering, trimming sails, handling lines, and navigating the boat as a team under the guidance of an experienced instructor.

This is more than “instruction as audience.” This is you two in action, mastering new skills and building real confidence together.

What This Program Is

A purpose-built sailing experience that blends learning with connection.

You and your partner will work as a team on every maneuver—learning not just how to sail, but how to communicate, support one another, and succeed together. It’s practical, rewarding, and tailored to couples who want to grow their skills while having a lot of fun.

You’ll learn to:

  • Steer and handle the boat together

  • Trim sails and understand how wind works

  • Communicate effectively at the helm

  • Anticipate and respond to changing conditions

  • Build shared confidence and teamwork on the water

★★★★★

Emily was great from getting the charter organized to ensuring we had opportunities to practice, improve, and hone our skills during the week. Feedback was clear, consistent, fair, and directive with suggestions and examples given for demonstrating desired skills in subsequent days/exercises. I would highly recommend NauticEd instruction to anyone truly interested in advancing in the sport and accelerating learning.
