Meet your crew onboard
Catamaran Andiamo
Your Crewed Catamaran Captain Jim Taylor
Jim and Jayne Taylor met in Naples, Italy, where Jim served as a U.S. Navy
officer and Jayne was the visiting daughter of a British Army officer.
Since marrying they have wanted to combine sailing and cultural discovery,
including gourmet food. "Andiamo," Italian for "Let's Go," is the answer
to that dream.
For Jim, who is a U.S. Coast guard licensed captain with over 30 years'
cruising and sailboat racing experience, that meant leaving the practice
of international law with clients in Asia and Europe, to charter in the
Caribbean. He is an avid fly fisherman and has equipped Andiamo with the
latest equipment for fly fishing, spin casting, and deep-sea fishing.
Jim's long-time interests also include travel, food and wine, scuba
diving, astronomy, jogging, and hiking.
 Your
World Class Chef Jayne Taylor
Jayne owned and operated a highly successful catering
business in Washington, D.C., where the Taylors lived for 20 years,
serving prominent political figures and diplomats. She has been featured
in several Washington Post articles and the Washingtonian Magazine, as one
of the capital's premier caterers.
Jayne specializes in international cuisine, an interest she acquired while
living in Singapore, Libya, Italy, and France. While in Paris, she
co-authored a bilingual cookbook with a Michelin-starred French chef, Chef
Hubert, and she taught cooking classes at L'Ecole de Cuisine d'Hubert in
Paris and on St. Barths. Jayne's passion for food and entertaining does
not prevent her active participation in travel, sailing, fishing, and
scuba diving. Jayne and Jim are fluent in French, conversant in Italian,
and they speak some German.
In any language, the Taylors are a good team and Andiamo the perfect
combination of fun, cultural adventure, and fine dining.
