Capt.
Jim is a Canadian who grew up sailing on Lake Ontario. His family
has always owned boats and Jim began his sailing instruction while
attending summer camp. As a young adult he moved to Virginia, were
he became bareboat certified and began chartering. In his
corporate life Jim was a stockbroker. He was televised on NBC 29
nightly news for seven years sharing his market commentary with viewers.
While working as a stockbroker, Jim found time to become a delivery
captain for a Lagoon catamaran dealership, and began transiting the East
Coast of North America. There he found his love for the open
ocean. He obtained his USCG Masters License, and later a MCA
200-ton Offshore Certificate. Jim is a certified PADI Dive Master,
and looks forward to taking you diving.
Chef Amanda is from
Virginia. She grew up as a competitive swimmer and spent time
backpacking in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Later, she discovered
triathlons, and spent many hours competing. She began sailing the
Chesapeake every weekend, and accompanying Jim on some of his
deliveries. Amanda’s career as an engineer was demanding and
gratifying, but soon she began dreaming of warm waters. During her
years sailing the Caribbean, she developed a love for cooking and
exploring local cuisine. To prepare for life as a charter
chef, Amanda attended a mega-yacht cooking school in Fort Lauderdale,
where she honed her skills. She is a certified PADI Dive Master,
and a kayak instructor.
