Crew
Sylvio LeBlanc
CaptainElena Bellotti
ChefElizabeth Beal
Mate/StewSyl 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
After leaving a career in online marketing to follow her passion for food, Chef Elena Bellotti trained formally in Barcelona and Bangkok before finding her true calling in yacht service. A Certified Chef de Cuisine with a professional pastry diploma and Yacht Cook Professional certification, she pairs technique with creativity to deliver beautifully plated, flavor-forward meals at sea. Her culinary style leans fresh Mediterranean with playful international touches—think handmade Italian pastas, refined French notes, bright Spanish influences, and Asian and Middle Eastern accents—always tailored to guest preferences and special diets. Skilled in modern sous-vide cookery, provisioning from local markets, and thoughtful wine and cocktail pairings, Elena brings five-star service, calm professionalism, and a genuine, sunny demeanor to every charter. Recent seasons span busy BVI programs, Balearic cruises, an Oyster World Rally leg across the Indian Ocean, and Med charters on performance yachts—experience that shines in her smooth service and guest-first approach.
Third Mate Liz
Growing up in North Carolina, Liz’s was drawn to water and adventure from an early age—it was hard to pull her out of the water on family trips filled with boating and beaching, and summers as a white water canoe guide and camp counselor. After graduating from college in 2009, Liz developed a plan around a dream and moved to the Virgin Islands.
Liz honed her skills through a mosaic of opportunities in the watersports industry including scuba diving, sailing, and owning/operating a kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and hiking tour guide business on St. John, USVI. After 14 years of experience creating meaningful, fun, and safe adventures for all types of travelers, she still feels such gratitude for the opportunity to facilitate special moments and recognizes the sacredness and joy inherent in exploring a new place or learning a new skill.
Fueled by black coffee and bad jokes, Liz is excited and motivated to work with a high caliber team and use her skills and experience to build the best charter experience possible.

Crew
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
After leaving a career in online marketing to follow her passion for food, Chef Elena Bellotti trained formally in Barcelona and Bangkok before finding her true calling in yacht service. A Certified Chef de Cuisine with a professional pastry diploma and Yacht Cook Professional certification, she pairs technique with creativity to deliver beautifully plated, flavor-forward meals at sea. Her culinary style leans fresh Mediterranean with playful international touches—think handmade Italian pastas, refined French notes, bright Spanish influences, and Asian and Middle Eastern accents—always tailored to guest preferences and special diets. Skilled in modern sous-vide cookery, provisioning from local markets, and thoughtful wine and cocktail pairings, Elena brings five-star service, calm professionalism, and a genuine, sunny demeanor to every charter. Recent seasons span busy BVI programs, Balearic cruises, an Oyster World Rally leg across the Indian Ocean, and Med charters on performance yachts—experience that shines in her smooth service and guest-first approach.
Third Mate Liz
Growing up in North Carolina, Liz's was drawn to water and adventure from an early age—it was hard to pull her out of the water on family trips filled with boating and beaching, and summers as a white water canoe guide and camp counselor. After graduating from college in 2009, Liz developed a plan around a dream and moved to the Virgin Islands.
Liz honed her skills through a mosaic of opportunities in the watersports industry including scuba diving, sailing, and owning/operating a kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and hiking tour guide business on St. John, USVI. After 14 years of experience creating meaningful, fun, and safe adventures for all types of travelers, she still feels such gratitude for the opportunity to facilitate special moments and recognizes the sacredness and joy inherent in exploring a new place or learning a new skill.
Fueled by black coffee and bad jokes, Liz is excited and motivated to work with a high caliber team and use her skills and experience to build the best charter experience possible.
