Amy is a licensed U.S. Coast Guard captain and the middle sister of the Gaiero girls. She graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in Sustainability Science, where she was a standout Division I athlete—earning a Big Ten Championship and reaching the NCAA Elite Eight as part of the Hawkeyes' field hockey team.

Though her path back to Maine wasn’t linear, Amy eventually found her way to the water. After interning on an oyster farm in Midcoast Maine before her senior year, she claimed she wouldn’t return—but she’s now entering her third summer as our farm manager and a seasoned captain leading tours and charters.

Outside of work, Amy enjoys skiing, boating, traveling, and exploring Maine’s vibrant food and hospitality scene. She brings energy, grit, and a strong sense of adventure to every tour—and believes the best experiences happen when you're outside, a little salty, and fully present.
