Day Builder — Monthly Sailing Membership

Build Confidence and Skill with Steady, Coached Time on the Water

The Day Builder is a sailing membership designed for sailors who want consistent progress, not random reps. Each month, you’ll get two coached days on the water, intentionally structured around your goals—so you build real skill and real confidence over time.

You’ll save 20% compared to booking individual days, and after completing your first three months, you can cancel anytime.

What This Program Includes

2 Days of Instructional Sailing & Coaching per Month

Day Builder is not a set number of days you rush through—it’s a monthly commitment to growth. With two coached days each month, you’ll get repeated, focused practice in the areas you actually need: boat handling, sail trim, docking, anchoring, navigation, leadership at the helm, and more.

Every session is customized to your experience and goals, whether that’s progressing toward certification, preparing for charter, or simply feeling capable and confident as skipper or crew.

You’ll work on:

  • Boat handling under sail and power

  • Sail trim and performance awareness

  • Docking, undocking, anchoring, and mooring

  • Navigation, passage planning, and weather interpretation

  • Systems knowledge, onboard problem-solving and provisioning

  • Leadership, communication, and crew management

Optional training days on larger vessels out of Houston harbor are available for sailors seeking additional experience. (Boat rental fees apply for Houston sessions.)

Every month you receive:

  • Two coached sailing days on Lake Travis

  • Training designed around your goals and skill gaps

  • Personalized feedback and coaching you can apply immediately

Over time, these reps compound—your comfort, decision-making, and command grow stronger with every month.

Membership Perks:

  • 20% savings compared to booking days individually

  • Momentum and continuity in your training

  • Flexibility — you can cancel anytime after your first three months

This is how sailors really get better.

NauticEd Rank Assessment (Add-on)

The program culminates in your NauticEd Rank Assessment, including:

  • An on-the-water assessment aligned with NauticEd rubrics

You’ll be evaluated on boat handling, sail trim, navigation, safety procedures, and overall seamanship. The goal isn’t just to pass—it’s to walk away ready.

Please note: this session and instruction does not include the cost of any NauticEd online courses (optional)

★★★★★

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.
