Four Days. One Year. Real Progress.

Private Sailing Coaching Series

You don’t need another class.
You need time at the helm.
You need feedback that actually applies to you.
You need space to build confidence without pressure.

This is that space.

The Private Sailing Coaching Series is a flexible 4-day, one-on-one instruction package on Lake Travis designed for sailors who want meaningful growth—not rushed checklists or crowded courses.

And we begin before you ever step on the boat.


Step One: Sail Discovery Call

Before committing, we meet for a complimentary Sail Discovery call.

We’ll talk through:

  • Your sailing background

  • Where you feel confident

  • Where you feel stuck or uncertain

  • What kind of sailor you want to become

This call helps us determine if this coaching format is the right fit—and ensures that if you move forward, every minute on the water is purposeful.

No pressure. Just clarity.


Four Days. Used Your Way.

Once enrolled, you’ll receive four full days of private instruction on Lake Travis.

You can schedule them close together for an immersive reset—or spread them out over the course of a year to allow practice, integration, and steady growth.

This isn’t about cramming information into a weekend.
It’s about building skill and confidence over time.


What We Can Work On

Every session is fully customized around you. That might include:

  • Docking and close-quarters maneuvering

  • Sail trim and boat handling

  • Man-overboard recovery

  • Anchoring

  • Heavy air confidence

  • Decision-making at the helm

  • Or simply more time actively sailing with real-time coaching

There’s no fixed curriculum and no certification pressure.

Just focused instruction, honest feedback, and real-world sailing skills.

Who This Is For

This program is a great fit if you are:

  • A beginner who wants a strong foundation without overwhelm

  • A returning sailor shaking off the rust

  • An experienced sailor refining specific skills

  • Someone who wants to feel calm and capable—not lucky—at the helm

If you want structured support without rigidity…
If you want accountability without pressure…
If you want to actually own your skills…

This is for you.

★★★★★

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.
