Interlude Description
Interlude is a new (December 2021) Bali 4.8 that has been fitted out as a luxury sailing yacht with a full-time, live-aboard captain and chef/first mate, by a wealthy owner for the use of his family and personal guests. It has been equipped to provide a unique “Interlude Respite” for very busy and discerning people. It is not a typical charter company, hard-driven sailboat. The owner intends to offer the “Interlude” experience and first-class crew and amenities to discerning charter guests during November to June time frames that Interlude is not serving the needs of the Owner´s family and personal guests. The Owner takes great pride and has gone to particular expense in seeking to offering charter guests a first-class vacation- “Interlude”- from the moment they come aboard to the moment that they disembark. During Winter/Spring 2022 Season, guest feedback has been remarkable and helpful in formulating Interlude charters for a special and unique guest experience.

Interlude Crew Profile
Captain
Chef/First Mate
Sylvio was truly blessed, growing up on the shores of the Northumberland Strait, located on the Atlantic Coast of Canada, where most activities revolve around the sea in some manner. As a kid he learned to sail at his local sailing school and did so for 9 consecutive years, where he liked to race dinghies but most of all he just loved to sail. Ever since he´s been a young man, there is something about the salty Atlantic air that awakens a sixth sense in him. Sailing answers and satisfies many things for him.
After a career as an entrepreneur and seeing his boys off to college, he decided to plot a new course in life and tacked towards a career in professional yachting. After earning his Captain RYA Yachtmaster Certification and all other prerequisite tickets, he´s never looked back.
He is a kind and generous Captain and host, who respectfully engages with his guests with a relaxed and calm demeanor. He enjoys collaborating with the charter guests to create a customized Charter Plan, as per their wish list. Whether it´s cruising to a secluded beach paradise or visiting the Islands must see spots or anything in-between, you´re the boss. Simply point the way and Syl will assure you´re making the most of living in the moment while you´re making life´s unforgettable memories.
Chef/First Mate Amber Simard:
Growing up in New England Amber has always had a strong connection to the Sea and the bountiful food she provides.
After a land-based career in the United States and Ireland in the hospitality industry where she worked her way from the ground up from the front of the house to the back of the house she discovered her culinary flair and her ability to produce world class food service. It was simply a natural progression that her hospitality experience and her Culinary talents took her to professional yachting. Over the last 5 years she has cooked on Private and Charter Yachts throughout the Caribbean and the East Coast of the United States.
Her passion for culinary, yachting and traveling are intertwined; each giving her a world of insight into diverse cultures, food & ways of life.

...Where to begin? I suppose we´d first like to thank Captain Andrew and Chef Renata. You two delivered an experience we will carry with us the rest of our lives. Not only did we enjoy first class treatment, but we also enjoyed your company, and we have made a special friendship with you both. I think we will see each other again. This was such a special trip, it´s difficult to properly put it into words. The music, the water, the views, the breeze!!
We relaxed fully
We laughed heartily
We filled our cup up
And you both made our trip truly, a once in a lifetime (well, maybe twice or three times?) experience. Until next time, Interlude, safe travels, and much love and respect!!

To the owners of this fine vessel and to ALL guests who will sail her in the future. Being a naval officer, I can appreciate the leadership, professionalism, and capabilities of both Captain Andrew and our Chef, Anthon. Both these gentlemen displayed the highest degree of proficiency in ship handling in addition to spending time with each of us making us all feel right at home. Our chef has spoiled us with the best meals we have ever had. In summary, these two gentlemen are an asset to this ship.

First we thank God for blessing us with a son and his wife that loved us enough to host us on our vacation of a life time. Our memories will last for us a lifetime as we celebrated our 50th anniversary on this adventure. There was a perfect Captain Andrew, a perfect Chef Anthon, perfect sunsets and each day our hearts were filled to the brim with joy. The Interlude was our pause in our lives to share your dream and make our dreams come true.
Thank you!
