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.
