Captain Len Amato is originally from Denver Colorado where he worked as a custom builder. The only thing about Denver he misses is the Broncos. Len began his diving career in 1990 in Honduras. As a certified master PADI SCUBA instructor and an avid cave diver, Len has extensively explored Honduras, Andros, Bahamas, and Roatan. He has certified over 400 divers and personally logged over 7,000 dives. Len holds a 100-ton U.S. Coast Guard master license, FCC Marine Radio license and First aid/CPR Certification. In addition, he served two terms as President of The Virgin Island Charter Yacht League. An easy going nature, great sense of humor, and vast knowledge of the Caribbean make Len uniquely suited to being your guide on an amazing Caribbean adventure. Donna brings a unique blend of talents and interests to Yacht Slipstream. She was raised in Philadelphia, became a New Yorker after graduating from Bard College with a dual degree in Political Science and Environmental Science and has explored the Caribbean off and on for 35 years. She fell in love with sailing on her first trip to the Buck Island National Park in the 70's - a trip that inspired her to learn to sail and then crew for a racing team on Lake Ontario. Donna holds a black belt in the Korean art of Tae Kwon Do, is an avid hiker, and is certified in first aid and CPR. As a Sensory Expert Donna specialized in analyzing flavors, textures and aromas of foods and beverages. She applied that knowledge while working as an events planner and personal chef. Her cooking style reflects her passion for exotic cultures blending Caribbean, Indian, Thai and Japanese flavors to create a fresh and flavorful culinary experience for guests. |
