Captain
Sylvio LeBlanc
Nation: Canada
Languages: English
Chef/First Mate
Elena Bellotti
Nation: Italian
Captain Sylvio
Syl was truly blessed to grow up on the shores of the Northumberland Strait on Canada’s Atlantic Coast, where life revolves around the sea. As a child, he developed a deep passion for sailing, spending nine consecutive summers at his local sailing school. He liked racing dinghies, but more than anything, he simply loved to sail.
For Syl, the salty Atlantic air awakens a sixth sense, and sailing has always been the answer to many of life’s questions. After a successful career as an entrepreneur and seeing his boys off to college, Sylvio charted a new course in life and transitioned into professional yachting. Armed with his RYA Yachtmaster Certification and other essential qualifications, he embarked on this new journey and has never looked back.
Syl is a kind and generous captain who engages with his guests with a calm and relaxed demeanor. He excels at creating customized charter experiences, collaborating closely with his guests to bring their dream itineraries to life. Whether it’s cruising to a secluded beach, exploring must-see island spots, or anything in between, Sylvio ensures every moment is unforgettable.
Chef Elena
Proud of her Italian heritage, Elena brings flavors, traditions and warmth of Italy to every dish she prepares. Formally culinary -trained, with second-level wine appreciation and Silver Service certification, she has over five years of experience working aboard sailing yachts and charter catamarans. Elena loves blending classic Italian techniques with international cuisine, creating personalized menus that delight every guest.
She thrives on the social side of yachting-meeting new guests each week, understanding their preferences, and crafting dining experiences that feel authentic and memorable. For Elena, cooking is about more than food; it’s about sharing happiness, culture and a little bit of Italy with everyone on board.
Third Mate/Stew Mafalda
As a proud Portuguese sailor, I carry with me the spirit of my ancestors who once charted vast maritime routes across Asia, Africa, and South America. Their pioneering understanding of the Atlantic winds and currents has always inspired me, and the sea has been my passion from an early age.
With over eight years of hands-on experience aboard sailing yachts and charter catamarans, I am dependable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making life on board smooth and enjoyable for both guests and crew. I thrive in guest-facing roles, bringing warmth, patience, and a welcoming smile that help create a safe and relaxed atmosphere. From supporting families with children to ensuring the vessel is always in perfect order, I take pride in going the extra mile.
Alongside my sailing background, I am fluent in multiple languages and have a strong interest in wellness, yoga, Pilates, and water sports. These passions allow me to share positive energy, balance, and enthusiasm with guests, making every journey not only comfortable but truly memorable.

Captain Syl, …we are… grateful for the incredible journey you took us on: sailing along the south of France, then to Sardinia, Capri, Amalfi, around the boot of Italy, as far up the Ionian Sea as Albania, and finally retracing our steps back. Those four months were unforgettable, filled with cherished memories, and it was all made possible because of you. Thank you for your dedication, expertise, and unwavering support.
Wahooooooooo!
My favorite part of the trip was when I caught a Wahoo fish and Captain Syl cleaned it and Chef Helen cooked it for dinner that evening. There's something amazing and special about eating fish that you caught. FRESH and delicious!!

The week was fantastic! In every way. The crew was wonderful— perfect mix of friendly but not inserting themselves too much into our private time. GREAT food— really some of the best ever! Great sports and patience to let us try everything! The destinations were well curated. And the tiny hiccups handled with grace. The tender problem was handled so well we hardly knew of the hard work it took to get a replacement. The pickup and drop off change was handled so well. We felt cared for like kings and queens. We would definitely choose the water taxi and ground taxi services you all provided as they were top notch. I really cannot think of anything we would criticize. We’d love to make the trip again! Kudos to all.
With much gratitude, Laurel with Craig, Steven, Hayley, David, Reed, Kerry Anna , Brandt, Corrie and Sam!!

Meet the Crew
Captain
Sylvio LeBlanc
Nation: Canada
Languages: English
Chef/First Mate
Elena Bellotti
Nation: Italian
Captain Sylvio
Syl was truly blessed to grow up on the shores of the Northumberland Strait on Canada’s Atlantic Coast, where life revolves around the sea. As a child, he developed a deep passion for sailing, spending nine consecutive summers at his local sailing school. He liked racing dinghies, but more than anything, he simply loved to sail.
For Syl, the salty Atlantic air awakens a sixth sense, and sailing has always been the answer to many of life’s questions. After a successful career as an entrepreneur and seeing his boys off to college, Sylvio charted a new course in life and transitioned into professional yachting. Armed with his RYA Yachtmaster Certification and other essential qualifications, he embarked on this new journey and has never looked back.
Syl is a kind and generous captain who engages with his guests with a calm and relaxed demeanor. He excels at creating customized charter experiences, collaborating closely with his guests to bring their dream itineraries to life. Whether it’s cruising to a secluded beach, exploring must-see island spots, or anything in between, Sylvio ensures every moment is unforgettable.
Chef Elena
Proud of her Italian heritage, Elena brings flavors, traditions and warmth of Italy to every dish she prepares. Formally culinary -trained, with second-level wine appreciation and Silver Service certification, she has over five years of experience working aboard sailing yachts and charter catamarans. Elena loves blending classic Italian techniques with international cuisine, creating personalized menus that delight every guest.
She thrives on the social side of yachting-meeting new guests each week, understanding their preferences, and crafting dining experiences that feel authentic and memorable. For Elena, cooking is about more than food; it’s about sharing happiness, culture and a little bit of Italy with everyone on board.
Third Mate/Stew Mafalda
As a proud Portuguese sailor, I carry with me the spirit of my ancestors who once charted vast maritime routes across Asia, Africa, and South America. Their pioneering understanding of the Atlantic winds and currents has always inspired me, and the sea has been my passion from an early age.
With over eight years of hands-on experience aboard sailing yachts and charter catamarans, I am dependable, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making life on board smooth and enjoyable for both guests and crew. I thrive in guest-facing roles, bringing warmth, patience, and a welcoming smile that help create a safe and relaxed atmosphere. From supporting families with children to ensuring the vessel is always in perfect order, I take pride in going the extra mile.
Alongside my sailing background, I am fluent in multiple languages and have a strong interest in wellness, yoga, Pilates, and water sports. These passions allow me to share positive energy, balance, and enthusiasm with guests, making every journey not only comfortable but truly memorable.

Much love to you both. The Moellers

Captain Syl, …we are… grateful for the incredible journey you took us on: sailing along the south of France, then to Sardinia, Capri, Amalfi, around the boot of Italy, as far up the Ionian Sea as Albania, and finally retracing our steps back. Those four months were unforgettable, filled with cherished memories, and it was all made possible because of you. Thank you for your dedication, expertise, and unwavering support.
Wahooooooooo!
My favorite part of the trip was when I caught a Wahoo fish and Captain Syl cleaned it and Chef Helen cooked it for dinner that evening. There's something amazing and special about eating fish that you caught. FRESH and delicious!!

To The Honorary Flamingos,
We can’t thank you enough for this wonderful week aboard Gyrfalcon with you. We love the Virgin Islands- this is our 8th visit and third charter- but you made it by far the best one!! Your seamanship skills, local knowledge, professionalism, positive attitude and constant support is unsurpassed.
And the food- Mel you’re a magician! The menu selections, presentations, table decor made each meal a five star event. You all worked together so well as a team making our trip completely stress free, despite some challenging winds. To keep all 10 of us happy and content is a marvel! We hope to see you again!
With Thanks,

The week was fantastic! In every way. The crew was wonderful— perfect mix of friendly but not inserting themselves too much into our private time. GREAT food— really some of the best ever! Great sports and patience to let us try everything! The destinations were well curated. And the tiny hiccups handled with grace. The tender problem was handled so well we hardly knew of the hard work it took to get a replacement. The pickup and drop off change was handled so well. We felt cared for like kings and queens. We would definitely choose the water taxi and ground taxi services you all provided as they were top notch. I really cannot think of anything we would criticize. We’d love to make the trip again! Kudos to all.
With much gratitude, Laurel with Craig, Steven, Hayley, David, Reed, Kerry Anna , Brandt, Corrie and Sam!!

What an amazing adventure we're here on! You both are fantastic and did everything to make it so. Such fun we had with all your water toys and every dish + bite you brought us too! We felt such confidence in you and knew we were in amazing hands. And your dishes were superb, a fine test[ament] to your putting on you, & still don't know how you manage to create such gourmet meals! Robert thank you for all your help and always so pleasant & enjoyable to be with. Adam our captain and master what surprised us most on the water helps you handle everything so efficiently and with a smile. We wish you all much success in the future.

Thank you for an amazing tour of the BVIs. The meals were awesome, the beaches, bars, and caves fun and birthday celebrations perfect. We hope to see you again!

We all had such a great time on Ruby One Adam as a captain and mate was very knowledgeable about all the islands and Mel was an amazing chef. They were both very professional and a pleasure to be around. I had to fly out for a couple of days and Adam was a big help solving logistical problems. We would highly recommend this boat and crew! We will for sure do this again, thanks for the memories.
