NEW CREW COMING - TBA
Captain Sylvio
Syl was truly blessed to grow up on the shores of the Northumberland Strait on Canada’s Atlantic Coast, where life revolves around the sea. As a child, he developed a deep passion for sailing, spending nine consecutive summers at his local sailing school. He liked racing dinghies, but more than anything, he simply loved to sail.
For Syl, the salty Atlantic air awakens a sixth sense, and sailing has always been the answer to many of life’s questions. After a successful career as an entrepreneur and seeing his boys off to college, Sylvio charted a new course in life and transitioned into professional yachting. Armed with his RYA Yachtmaster Certification and other essential qualifications, he embarked on this new journey and has never looked back.
Syl is a kind and generous captain who engages with his guests with a calm and relaxed demeanor. He excels at creating customized charter experiences, collaborating closely with his guests to bring their dream itineraries to life. Whether it’s cruising to a secluded beach, exploring must-see island spots, or anything in between, Sylvio ensures every moment is unforgettable.
Chef Elena
Proud of her Italian heritage, Elena brings flavors, traditions and warmth of Italy to every dish she prepares. Formally culinary -trained, with second-level wine appreciation and Silver Service certification, she has over five years of experience working aboard sailing yachts and charter catamarans.
