LEO LYNNE
Capt. Leo was born and raised in NJ, and boating since the age of 15. He ‘‘grew up’’ in NYC, so when the University of Southern California presented him with a scholarship he traded cement for sand.With Catalina and Mexico so close, he enrolled in USC’s sailing and deepwater cruising program, and subsequently ended up teaching the courses.When his ‘‘real’’ degree was handed over, he entered the world of finance and opened commercial lending offices in CA and NYC. He purchased a 42’ Hunter sailboat INFINITUS and competed in the Newport to EnsenadaYacht race.Though he put some hardware on the mantel he realized cruising was more his speed.With the 90hr work weeks beginning to lose their luster, he spent some time traveling Europe and accepted an invitation to sail the 44’ Lagoon CATATONIC from France to the US.Truly enamored with the boat, he purchased one for his family, outfitted her with just about every imaginable option, and brought her to their favorite playground - the Caribbean. Unfortunately, family health issues didn’t allow much use of HYPNAUTIC, so he hired its first crew... and has recently completed its 4th successful year. Leo has been coming to the Caribbean for 25 years and has sailed the entire island chain to Venezuela. His experiences have been life changing. His knowledge of the area, coupled with his island friendships, results in a very welcome feel wherever he goes. With stories from around the world and a love for entertaining, Leo has decided it was time to enjoy the more social side of running the ‘HYPNAUTIC experience’.

Born and raised in Southern California,Amy grew up spending time on her father’s boat fishing off the island of Catalina. Cooking became an interest of her life while she was raising three children and a healthy family. Amy was blessed to experience living in the Chesapeake Bay area, the islands of the Azores and Florida’s Emerald Coast. When her family matured, she went back to school and fulfilled a dream to become a pediatric nurse. Recently, her time has been devoted to boating, diving, and creating enticing meals. Recently she has sailed from St.Thomas to the Grenadines and is looking forward to sharing these islands with her guests. At home she has honed her cooking skills with classes from Distinctive Kitchens and private instructions from a top chef at a premier resort on the Emerald Coast.
