The sailing immersion program was born out of a recognition of the weaknesses that many lean to sail programs are plagued with.
There are simply too many new sailors coming out of “learn to sail” programs, with well-known “sailing certifications,” that are not even close to competent sailors or skippers.
The Cruise and Learn Sailing Immersion Program is built on a concept of a 12-month, immersive sailing education.
We believe this learn to sail model will develop a deeper understanding of the knowledge and theory involved, develop a much higher level of competence for new sailors, and ultimately we hope to make sailing and cruising more accessible and affordable to as many aspiring sailors as possible.
The cornerstone of the program is the 1-week, liveaboard, Cruise and Learn Sailing course.
The date and location you choose for your 1-week sailing trip will be the trigger for how your program is laid out, and how you pay for it.
We analyzed what it costs for a typical 1-week learn to sail program both in the U.S. and abroad.
Then we asked ourselves, how can we make it easier and more affordable?
That’s when the idea hit us. What if we make it subscription-based so aspiring sailors have the option of tackling the cost monthly (at zero interest, of course!)? For those that choose to pay in full, we can offer a discount.
Most people are familiar with subscription based services nowadays, so seems like a no-brainer, right?
Then we asked ourselves another question.
How can we add a whole bunch more value? How can we get people immersed in learning right away?
Enter NauticEd’s, state of the art, multi-media sailing education system and internationally recognized sailing certifications and licenses. It’s the perfect solution to help aspiring sailors get started immediately with their sailing knowledge and theory education.
Plus, with NauticEd’s Virtual Reality training platform, we can actually help new sailors start to develop skills and muscle memory in VR that will translate to a much faster progression when they get out on the water and start sailing real boats, in the real world…
After all, there’s a reason both civilian and military pilot’s training now includes flight training in virtual reality. If it’s good for airplane and helicopter pilots, it’s definitely good for sailboat skippers too!

The Sailing Immersion Program is a 12-month, subscription based, immersion course:
Access to sailing and top-notch sailing education has never been this easy and affordable! Our capacity is limited so click on the button below to sign up and grab your spot today!
We think the sailing immersion program is pretty darn affordable, but don’t just take our word for it! Let’s run some numbers.
See the Breakdown below…
With the Sailing Immersion Program you will get the equivalent of taking ASA 101, Keelboat 1, ASA 102, Keelboat 2, ASA 103, Coastal Cruising, ASA 104 Bareboat Cruising and ASA 105, Coastal Navigation and possibly ASA 114, Cruising Catamaran and we didn’t even count ASA 106, Advanced Coastal Cruising, even though you would be getting that one too…
As you can see if you took the courses individually, then signed up with a local sailing club for the day sailing and then signed up for a 1 week learn to sail program you could spend almost double to nearly 5 times the cost of the Sailing Immersion program for a single sailor and much more than that for a sailing pair!
What about boat ownership?
Not counting the cost of the boat itself, just the holding cost of the boat and the cost of the individual courses would easily run 3X to nearly 4X the cost of the Sailing Immersion Program!
Access to sailing and top-notch sailing training has never been this easy and affordable. Capacity is limited so don’t delay, sign up for the Sailing Immersion Program today!
The 1-week, group, Cruise-n-Learn Sailing Adventure is the cornerstone of our sailing immersion program. Think of it like the ultimate sailing final exam.
Multi-day, liveaboard, learn-to-sail courses have been Capt. John’s specialty for years, so he knows how to do it right. This trip will be the highlight of your year and maybe even one of the coolest experiences of your life!
After all that study, training, assessing and sailing, you will embark on a 1-week sailing and cruising adventure with a small group of fellow sailors, sailing around some of the most beautiful cruising grounds planet earth has to offer.
Trips in the San Juan Islands in WA State, Gulf Islands, BC, Canada and The Sea of Cortez, Baja California Sur, Mexico are all included in your monthly immersion program fees, including moorage, fuel, provisions (groceries), water toys, etc. (does not include travel costs).
Opportunities to sail in the Bahamas, The Virgin Islands, The Caribbean, and Southern Europe are also available but may entail some additional costs above and beyond your monthly immersion program fees.
For advanced sailing training, we simply extend the Sailing Immersion Program to a 2nd year. Easy Peasy!
First of all, you get all the VR Sailing, sundowners, etc., you got accustomed to in year 1
AND you also get another 1-week, group, Cruise-n-Learn Sailing Adventure, except this time, it will include advanced practical applications such as night sailing, night navigation offshore safety, etc.
How it works:
When you complete your 1st year sailing immersion program, simply extend for the 2nd year at the same low monthly price and you will get access to the additional courses in the NauticEd Offshore Captain bundle as well as up to 3 additional endorsement courses of your choice.
Think of it as equivalent to completing ASA 106 Advanced Coastal Cruising and ASA 108 Offshore Passasge Making along with additional endorsements such as Marine Weather, Radar, Celestial Navigation, etc. – but with a ton more value added!
