Grant Headifen, Director of NauticEd, a global online sailing education, certification, and charter broker company with a strong presence in the BVI provided the following advice to would be sailors. He said, “In order to become a sailor, you need theoretical knowledge and on-the-water experience. But what courses do you need? And how do you gain experience? We can help. No matter your eventual sailing goal, NauticEd can provide you with the appropriate level of sailing education.”
NauticEd offers advanced interactive eLearning sailing courses as part of their international sailing education and certification programs. They also have a global network of sailing schools that can integrate your theory learned online with practical on the water teachings. Then, once you are certified, it’s time to enjoy the skills you’ve learned. NauticEd’s faculty and staff have been chartering yachts all over the world for dozens of years and can help you find the bareboat yacht charter sailing vacation of a lifetime.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
