Meet our Instructor
Sarah Schelbert
Originally from Germany, Sarah has been living on the waters of the Caribbean and Central America since 2014.
After crossing the Atlantic as a complete newbie, she crewed on a large variety of boats, from luxury yachts, minimalist monohulls to Tall Ships. In 2017, she purchased her own 36ft Classic wooden boat “Alani” which she restored herself in an extensive 3-year project in Guatemala.
Besides her ASA sailing instructor license, Sarah also holds the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and loves Ocean passages as much as Island hopping.
Sarah enjoys teaching for LTD since 2020 and is still living aboard her own wooden vessel. Her passion for sailing, her patient and routined demeanor and her warm hospitable attitude will create an unforgettable sailing experience for you.
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.
