Captain Vito
Vito's former career encompassed roles as an electro-mechanical engineer and Development Manager, backed by a robust international experience. He holds 17 international patents! His enthusiasm for sailing began 24 years ago, during which time he has owned three yachts and earned his captain's license and a wide range of sailing and further mechanical experience. He is happy to share his knowledge and for guests to take the helm and try sailing should they wish to.
Vito's nautical adventures have taken him across the Mediterranean, Baltic Seas, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, and across the Atlantic. He has a deep knowledge of the Caribbean Islands, in particular the USVI, The Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands and has operated many charters throughout these waters. His priority is ensuring in the first instance guests are safe and that they are able to have fun whilst experiencing the best most beautiful locations.
Outside of sailing, Vito loves to adventure and takes pleasure in flying gliders, scuba diving, and playing tennis. His knowledge of diving in particular has equipped him with a wealth of knowledge about marine life and the best snorkeling areas in all the areas he charters which he is eager to share with guests.
