Lord Nelson Charters LTD
There's much to be said about sailing the open waters and feeling the wind in your hair. Whether you are an experienced sailor or someone who just loves the water, Lord Nelson Charters has the perfect nautical outing for you.
I was able to talk with Captain Ricki Lee Hagen, owner of Lord Nelson Charters. It's truly amazing when you see the huge array of options available to those who climb aboard for the experience of a lifetime. All the charters are done in North Georgia on Lake Lanier.
You can choose to go sailing during the day or plan a sunset cruise to enjoy the colors of the night sky. Never fear if your not a skilled sailor. Your outing comes with a Captain and includes the fuel for the trip. You can sit back and enjoy the ride.
Lord Nelson Charters has been the center point for many special occasions such as anniversaries, weddings, proposals and many other special occasions. They can accommodate up to 15 passengers so you can bring your friends along to enjoy the occasion with you. Feel free to eat while your sailing. They have a "BYOF" policy. You can "bring your own food" and enjoy a meal with friends on the water.
There is also a corporate division of Lord Nelson that hosts nautical team building outings to help corporate workers bond and work better together. Many companies have come year after year because the experience has been so positive and upbuilding for the company.
Lord Nelson's boats have a cabin down below deck in case of bad weather and there is even a restroom which is not common on many of the boats on Lake Lanier.
Rest assured you are in good hands when you step on the boat for your journey. Ricki Lee is a certified sailing instructor with the American Sailing Association. Captain Hagen is a US Coastguard Captain licensed to man a vessel up to 100 Tons and up to 200 miles off shore.
Ricki Lee was motivated to start his business after falling in love with the freedom the water and sailing had brought to his life. He worked as an actor for nearly 20 years and started hosting a children's theatre at Lake Lanier Islands Beach. Between shows he learned how to sail on small sunfish sailboats. This was the beginning of the transition to his full time sailing career. It's been an amazing journey for him and now he is passionate about sharing that experience with you.
In case you are wondering how much a day of sailing will cost, its much more reasonable than you might imagine. For $330.00 you can enjoy a 2 1/2 hour cruise in the daytime or evening. That includes 2 guests. You can add additional passengers for $55 per person.
