Capt. Nick Cann
Captain Nick Cann is passionate about sharing the beauty and magic of the Virgin Islands with guests aboard Altesse. As the charter 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 in the Yukon on the breathtaking 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 this tropical paradise. His journeys have fostered a deep love for exploration, discovery, and adventure—elements he eagerly shares with guests. 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 Virgin Islands have to offer.

During off-seasons, Nick and Amy bought and sailed their own boat from Maine to the Bahamas, cruising for two incredible seasons. This experience strengthened his passion for open-water sailing and remote island adventures. Most recently, they spent five months in Thailand completing a dive master certification, fueling his enthusiasm for diving and snorkeling—and his eagerness to help 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’s beauty. He believes the best vacations are about disconnecting, exploring, and creating lasting memories.

Chef Amy Cann
Born and raised in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Chef Amy 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 her flavorful, dynamic dishes served on board.

Amy’s love of sailing began when her 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—an experience that deepened her love for the ocean and commitment to sustainability. Now, she brings that same passion to every charter, sharing not only her culinary talents but also her knowledge of the marine ecosystem.

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 it with a craft cocktail full of island flair and world-spanning inspiration.
