Crew
Captain: Sylvio LeBlanc
Sylvio was truly blessed, growing up on the shores of the Northumberland Strait, located on the Atlantic Coast of Canada, where most activities revolve around the sea in some manner. As a kid he learned to sail at his local sailing school and did so for 9 consecutive years, where he liked to race dinghies but most of all he just loved to sail. Ever since he's been a young man, there is something about the salty Atlantic air that awakens a sixth sense in him. Sailing answers and satisfies many things for him.
After a career as an entrepreneur and seeing his boys off to college, he decided to plot a new course in life and tacked towards a career in professional yachting. After earning his Captain RYA Yachtmaster Certification and all other prerequisite tickets, he's never looked back.
He is a kind and generous Captain and host, who respectfully engages with his guests with a relaxed and calm demeanor. He enjoys collaborating with the charter guests to create a customized Charter Plan, as per their wish list. Whether it’s cruising to a secluded beach paradise or visiting the Islands must see spots or anything in-between, you're the boss. Simply point the way and Syl will assure you're making the most of living in the moment while you're making life's unforgettable memories.
Helen was born and raised in Southern California and has since made her culinary career centered around traveling. She received her culinary degree from Le Cordón Bleu French Culinary school, taking this experience to become a private chef to many celebrities, pro NFL athletes, and other high profile individuals.
Now residing primarily in Palm Beach, FL, Helen has fallen in love with sharing her culinary expertise aboard luxurious charter yachts throughout the Caribbean. She has worked on a variety of both private and charter vessels, up to 200-feet.

In addition to celebrity and yacht catering, Helen was also the former chef of American Express Miami lounge, and at a celebrity rehab in Malibu California. She is bilingual in Spanish/ English and always thrilled to engage with guests to cater to their comforts and dietary needs.
Reviews
Captain Brynn
Did everything in his power to meet or exceed all the requests on our preference sheets. All of the anchorages were beautiful and secluded (as much as possible). We enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling at various locations -- and most of the time it was only our group. Awesome! We experienced being under sail (fantastic) and also motoring when conditions weren't good for sailing. We fished and hooked something large, but unfortunately it broke the line -- very exciting! We saw turtles, dolphin, and several reef shark from the boat, and swam with the nurse sharks. We enjoyed relaxing sunsets from the boat with refreshing cocktails prepared by Brynn.
Chef Erica
What an amazing chef! We had no idea that meals aboard would be fine dining experiences -- never a duplicated dish and all beautifully presented. It is amazing how she was able to prepare such elaborate meals while underway -- with quite choppy seas in some cases. Unbelievable!
While we all own boats and are accustomed to being on the water, none of us expected how much different (in a wonderful way) sailing would be from a motorboat. We are all looking forward to our next sailing vacation!
Reflecting on my husband 60th Birthday Celebration, I couldn't have asked for a better way to Celebrate aboard the Catamaran Kittiwake and the Wonderful Crew Captain Brynn and our Chef Jennifer assisting with the meals.
We have done a few charters in the past, but this one, was by far, the BEST ONE!
The itinerary that our Captain Brynn organized for us, was so fun and relaxing, included everything we wanted to do and more.
He was always very attentive to our needs and was very flexible to what we wanted to do. He went out of his call of duty to give us the best trip ever. My son brought his Kitesurf and Brynn was always there so support and assist with the kite. I felt they were just like family to us.
Jennifer, our Chef also went out of her call of duty to create special meals for us so that we can enjoy our time exploring. We always wanted to be with both of them, it was so fun.
We also felt so safe, on our last night in Paradise Island, the sailboat next to us wasn't anchored properly, of course we didn't know that until next morning, as we were sleeping, Thanks to Brynn who was
up all night to keep us safe from the Sailboat to drift on us.
We are world travelers. My kids have travelled the world, but at the end of this trip, they said it was their favorite trip of all.
I highly recommend this crew, as the crew is what makes the difference to make your vacation a memorable one.
Thank you for an amazing trip and can't wait for the next one.
The Jones Family!
Chef/Crew Kelly was equally remarkable. Her food was out of this world! My picky boys cleaned their plate every single meal! She and Wouts kept our drinks full, bellies filled and memories over-flowing. By the end of the trip, they felt like family and it was hard to say goodbye. I cannot recommend this Crew enough for a family experience that will last a lifetime!
This trip, the boat, and most importantly the crew made this vacation
worth every penny.
Wouts and Kelly are talented, professional and fun and a perfect fit for us. We will certainly come back. Kittiwake is well managed, comfortable and great floor plan. We will see you again soon.

My husband and I, along with two friends, decided to charter Kittiwake and sail the Exumas. I can say without reservation it was one of the most enjoyable and restorative vacations we've ever taken. The new boat was ultra-comfortable and spacious with plenty of places to curl up and read or watch the mind-blowing scenery unfold. And Kittiwake's many amenities provided a luxurious touch.
Most importantly, though, was the crew. From the moment we came onboard, Captain Wouts and Chef Kelly took care of us in every respect. Their professionalism and commitment to our enjoyment never ceased to impress us. Wouts MUST have gotten tired of my incessant questions about the boat’s operation…...but you’d never know it. He’s a delight and went the extra nautical mile to take care of us. Chef Kelly produced the most delectable meals, including some award-worthy desserts. She’s a highly talented chef with a bright outlook, all of which is reflected in her dishes. There’s so much more I could say about this trip. Five out of five stars. It would be impossible to place a value on how much we loved it. We’ll be back.
