Testimonials
“I recently completed my ASA 101 class with Lori! What a wonderful experience. Lori is an encylopedia of nautical knowledge, an expert on the water, and super passionate about sailing the high seas. The ASA 101 class is notoriously overwhelming for first timers: ton of new terms and techniques to learn in advance of your exam; however, it was unbelievable how fast Lori got us up to speed - how fast we got our "bearings". Incredible to see how much information we consumed, and how many sailing maneuvers became second nature. We all passed with flying colors ( a "tell-tale" sign of Lori's teaching!) Lori is able to impart all of her knowledge effortlessly, and her calm demeaner makes for an enjoyable environment to learn. We were asking questions up until the "bitter end". I'll be signing up for 103 with Lori, and will also be logging some hours with her supervision - I certainly have the sailing bug!”
“The Best Investment in Joy I’ve Ever Made! I can't overstate how much Naos Yachts has enhanced my life. Joining their SailTime program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s the perfect solution for anyone who dreams of boat ownership without the hassles—think of it as intelligent, flexible, and deeply rewarding partial ownership of a top-tier sailboat. Their fleet is exceptional. The boats are almost always brand new—typically under three years old—and maintained to an impeccable standard. Every time I’ve stepped aboard, the vessel was spotless, well-equipped, and clearly cared for with passion and precision. You’re not just renting a boat—you’re welcomed into a premium sailing lifestyle. But what truly sets Naos apart is the people. The ownership team is phenomenal—friendly, responsive, and remarkably accommodating. They work with you to make the experience seamless, personal, and easy. They listen, they adjust, and they genuinely care about your satisfaction. I've worked with many companies over the years, and very few—if any—have brought me as much pure pleasure as Naos Yachts. Sailing is a joy, but sailing with Naos is transformative. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants the thrill of being out on the water, the pride of access to a beautiful boat, and the confidence that comes from working with a first-class organization. Thank you, Naos Yachts, for everything you do. You’ve earned a customer—and a fan—for life.”
“Bareboat chartering from Naos yachts, was a great experience. All staff were very kind and helpful. I would definitely charter with them again. They are also starting to organize flotillas which are great for learning and testing your skills in a safe space.”
“A fantastic experience overall with stunning boats and landscape - not to mention the crew went over and above in search of a lost item, which was amazingly found and returned. Highly recommend and a special thanks to Mollie and the team.”
