Crew information
Captain: Nick Cann Crew: Amy Cann Captain Nick Cann and Chef Amy Cann bring a rich blend of adventure, seamanship, culinary creativity, and warm hospitality to every charter aboard ALTESSE. Their life together on the water has taken them from Alaska’s rugged straits and fjords to the Bahamas, Thailand, and the Virgin Islands, giving them a deep appreciation for exploration, nature, and the unforgettable moments that happen at sea. Nick’s calm leadership, sailing experience, and passion for diving and snorkeling pair beautifully with Amy’s flavorful, globally inspired cuisine and thoughtful approach to onboard service. Together, Nick and Amy create a charter experience that feels relaxed, personal, and deeply connected to the islands. From secluded beaches and vibrant reefs to fresh local ingredients and cocktails with island flair, they love helping guests disconnect, explore, and make lasting memories in the Caribbean. Captain: Nick Cann Captain Nick Cann Captain Nick is passionate about sharing the beauty and magic of the Virgin Islands with guests aboard ALTESSE. As captain of this stunning 56-foot Lagoon catamaran, he has spent the past four years creating unforgettable Caribbean adventures, showcasing the crystal-clear waters, hidden coves, and vibrant culture that make the Virgin Islands such a special destination. Nick’s maritime journey began on the Yukon River, where he discovered a love for exploring some of the world’s most remote and pristine landscapes. His passion for working on the water grew during a season in Southeast Alaska aboard the Alaskan Dream, where he fell in love with the region’s wildlife, scenery, and welcoming communities. Over the course of a decade exploring Alaska’s straits and fjords, he worked his way from deckhand to Chief Mate, earned his 200-ton Master’s license, and met his talented wife and chef, Amy. In 2021, Nick found warmer waters in the Virgin Islands, bringing his adventurous spirit to the Caribbean. Whether snorkeling coral reefs, exploring secluded beaches, or relaxing with a tropical drink in hand, Nick delights in helping guests experience the very best the islands have to offer. During the off-season, Nick and Amy purchased and sailed their own boat from Maine to the Bahamas, cruising for two incredible seasons. Most recently, they spent five months in Thailand completing a Dive Master certification, further fueling his enthusiasm for diving, snorkeling, and helping guests uncover the underwater wonders of the Caribbean. When he’s not on the water, Nick enjoys snowboarding, camping, canoeing, and immersing himself in nature. He believes the best vacations are about disconnecting, exploring, and creating lasting memories. Chef/First Mate: Amy Cann Chef Amy Cann Born and raised in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Chef Amy Cann grew up surrounded by water and developed a deep love for the outdoors and water sports. Her culinary journey began in the vibrant restaurant scene of Minneapolis. In 2015, driven by a thirst for adventure, Amy set off for the waters of Southeast Alaska, where she discovered her passion for life on the water and met her now husband, Nick. Off-season travels took her across the globe, where she immersed herself in the flavors of Peru, Thailand, Vietnam, and India, learning from local chefs and street food masters. These global influences are reflected in the flavorful, dynamic dishes she serves on board. Amy’s love of sailing began when she and Nick purchased a 39-foot sailboat and embarked on a 1,600-mile voyage down the East Coast—her very first time on a sailboat. That journey led them to the Bahamas, where fresh island ingredients and tropical waters fueled her culinary creativity and passion for the sea. In 2021, the Virgin Islands became home. There, Amy found a thriving local food culture rich in fresh-caught seafood and island-grown produce. She is passionate about supporting local farmers and fishermen, incorporating seasonal, sustainable ingredients into every dish she creates. In 2024, Amy returned to Thailand to complete a three-month Eco Dive Master program focused on coral and marine life conservation, deepening her love for the ocean and commitment to sustainability. When she’s not in the galley or underwater, Amy enjoys yoga, snowboarding, canoeing, and camping in Northern Minnesota. Above all, she delights in creating unforgettable dining experiences, tailoring each meal to guests’ tastes, and pairing them with craft cocktails full of island flair and world-spanning inspiration.
