Meet our Instructor
Brian Mascoll
Brian Mascoll or, as most know him, Captain Bry - a patient sailing instructor, having worked his way up from working in maintenance to charter captain and now Advanced Coastal Cruising Instructor.
Captain Bry is from a small village on the outskirts of Kingstown, which is the capital of one of the neighbouring islands, St. Vincent (the main island of the archipelago St. Vincent and the Grenadines).
He did not grow up on the typical playgrounds but rather spent most of his days on and around the water with his family, from fishing with other locals and learning the traditional methods and styles to spending weekends and school holidays working with a local dive shop until becoming PADI Dive Master, Brian has done all that can be done on and under the water throughout these beautiful islands.
As he said "As a true Island boy, of course I had to find my path out on the water. Being out there is life changing - it’s tranquil, humbling and whatever you want it to be. Besides all the obvious pleasures of sailing, what is most pleasing for me is being able to share the knowledge I have gained over the years, to encourage, empower and assist others to gain the comfort level they desire when they're on the water."
And, believe it or not, Captain Bry was certified by LTD Sailing as a Sailing instructor and is a proud representative of LTD Sailing.
Why Tip Your Instructor
At LTD Sailing, we are striving to offer you the best sailing school experience in the Caribbean. We hand pick our instructors who work hard to ensure you learn lots, sail even more and most importantly - enjoy yourself along the way.
I often get asked how much students should tip their instructors and even why students should tip their instructors at all. LTD Sailing pays your instructor to teach sailing. You aren’t tipping them for that. The reason you should consider tipping your instructor is if they went above and beyond – if they not only taught you to sail but also gave you the experience of a lifetime.
If you think your instructor has gone above and beyond this week, a gratuity is highly appreciated. The industry standard is 15% - 20% and tipping is, as always, at your discretion.
