Level V Captain Rank Chief Sailing Instructor / Assessor

Rated 5/5 by 31 students
Landfall Sailing was founded in 2005 as part of the Seraph Group on Lake Travis in Austin, Texas and is one of only a handful of schools in the U.S hosting the assessments for the internationally recognized SLC certification required for power and sail by many EU nations. Many of us had our first boating experience on powerboats but became fascinated with sailing. Sailing offers a lifelong learning opportunity, is quiet and environmentally-friendly, technically challenging, not entirely fuel dependent therefore offers unlimited range, is cost effective and enables adventures associated with bareboat chartering in exciting destinations. We are not solely focused on issuing stickers or certifications without also assuring that our students develop documented, tangible, verified, practical skills recognized by major charter companies worldwide. We tailor your classes to your schedule and limit our classes to 2 students Contact us today at www.landfallsailing.com/contact/ for yo

I keep “learning and confirming” with Bruce. Even when we are off the clock, his passion for excellence spills over into casual conversation and the student benefits from his experience and discipline. Thanks Bruce.

Bruce is an excellent instructor. I am now able to confidently maneuver under power in a tight space and back into a slip.
