RELENTLESS 60

Captain: Dan Shivone

Nationality: USA

Captain Dan’s passion for the water started at an early age along the coast of Delaware. He truly developed his skills after moving to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, where he learned to read the wind and the water for both surfing and sailing. He obtained his Captain’s license in North Carolina in 2008 and quickly began guiding on the water and sharing his love of nature and the sea. After sailing from North Carolina to the Bahamas on his personal boat, he found his way to the Virgin Islands. He now has over 8 years experience sailing the US and British Virgin Islands on myriad boats. Dan focuses on curating a custom itinerary based on his knowledge of the local waters and the guests requests. Most importantly, he wants everyone to feel safe, relaxed and at home while on vacation.

Tanya grew up in a coastal area in Maine where she graduated from university with a degree in Finance, but later followed her passion for travel, cooking and the sea. This brought her career in a new direction of yachting. An accomplished sailor in her own right, Tanya has sailed over 18,000 nautical miles including Florida to Turkey, Caribbean to Colombia and many other off shore passages.
Tanya is a creative chef with a broad culinary repertoire and a calm personality. She offers a well-developed genuine passion for food and the highest level of service. She is also a proven, capable leader (on land and sea) providing an immaculate galley, a positive can-do attitude and outstanding work ethic. Tanya specializes in Italian, Mediterranean and French cuisine, but can also create fusion seafood, vegan and gluten free menus. Client’s satisfaction is her main priority, assuring a memorable experience for the guests.

Stew Julianna Leskie
Julianna's passion for adventure began when she moved to San Francisco to pursue her career in ballet, and fell in love with the Bay Area and all it had to offer. After retiring from her career as a ballet dancer, it was time to eat and drink some of the world’s best food and wine! She enthusiastically entered the world of hospitality, gaining experience in all areas of service, from craft bartending in posh lounges and Michelin dining rooms, to obtaining a sommelier certification and entering restaurant management and wedding coordinating. Expanding on her ability to deliver a memorable guest experience, she decided to pursue the study of massage therapy - where she has undoubtedly found her life’s work, helping clients escape, unwind and relax. This unique combination of skills has led Julianna to find her newest adventure aboard Relentless, allowing her to pursue her personal mission of creating a first class relaxation experience at sea.

The crew aboard Relentless is excited to welcome guests aboard for another exciting season in the clear blue waters of the Virgin Islands! From visiting the famous beaches and beach bars, to exploring the secret spots that only locals know about, the team is here to cater to guests’ every need providing them with a relaxing vacation, and a lifetime of memories.
