Captain Len Amato, owner of Slipstream, hails from Denver Colorado. Len was a general contractor and custom builder. The only thing about Denver he misses is cheering on his Denver Broncos. Len started his diving career in 1990 in Honduras, after moving to Florida where he took up sailing. Len is a PADI dive instructor and an avid cave diver. He spent three years in Andros Island, Bahamas where he extensively explored the Blue Hole and cave systems of the island. Len holds a USCG 100-ton master license, PADI Instructor Certification, FCC Marine Radio license and First aid/CPR Certificate. Slipstream is Len's dream come true. It is the perfect platform to provide safe, personalized dive/sail adventures. With an easy going nature and good sense of humor, coupled with his knowledge of the Caribbean, all you have to do is ask and he'll be glad to share all that he loves so much with you.
Donna brings a unique blend of talents and interests to Yacht Opus. 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 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. As a Sensory Expert (trained by Sensory Spectrum in New York city) 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 for over 10 years in the Rochester area. 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 our guests on Slipstream. Donna studied the martial arts for over 10 years and holds a black belt in the Korean art of Tae Kwon Do. She is a licensed massage therapist and is certified in first aid and CPR. Working on Yacht Slipstream has allowed Donna to successfully blend her passions while providing an unforgettable vacation experience for our guests!
