Catamaran Big Nauti

Where Luxury meets adventure!

This “Multihull of the Year” award-winning Bali 5.4 catamaran sets the stage for an amazing getaway. Big Nauti is a brand new 2021 catamaran with numerous panoramic lounge areas positioned throughout the yacht. She showcases a solid foredeck that boasts a large relaxing lounge area and additional day beds for sunbathing. Enjoy the large, relaxing and comfortable space afforded by the covered flybridge with panoramic views of your beautiful surroundings.

Through a full-sized door located on the foredeck there is direct easy access to an impressive walk-through salon that features a large retractable “garage door” creating an impressive open-concept feel to this large living area. With this aft door raised, guests can move freely about the boat with no climbing or squeezing through narrow passages. The aft of the vessel affords a long sumptuous bench seating that completes this space with room to lounge or get ready for water-based activities. It’s an open-space apartment afloat with exceptional ventilation for tropical breezes and is quickly becoming one of the most popular new interior boat designs.

The boat is fully equipped with snorkeling and an abundance of water toys. For guests interested in scuba diving, she offers a premium off-the-boat diving experience and is equipped with scuba diving gear. The chef is a Divemaster and can lead guests on their dives and share her passion for diving with them. After an adventure filled day of water sports, swimming, diving, or on-shore excursions, enjoy the well-lit and large dining area as you enjoy a world class meal with your friends and family. Enjoy a handmade cocktail prepared just for you by your professional crew right there in the salon bar. Big Nauti is well equipped with an array of amenities to keep you entertained your whole vacation.

Big Nauti will accommodate 8 charter guests in 4 luxurious queen cabins each with ensuite bathrooms and separate showers. The forward cabins and the starboard midships cabin are dramatic queen berths that give the illusion of floating in space with views of the beautiful Caribbean waters from the comfort of your bed. The port aft large master cabin is spacious offering ample moving room and storage. It has private access from the deck as well as from the saloon and features a separate shower and vanity areas.

CHEF: Maia Gifford

From a young age, Per developed a deep passion for the ocean, spending vacations by the Swedish coastline where he learned to sail and race dinghies. He expanded his love for watersports to include kitesurfing and surfing. Over the past 15 years, he has owned and sailed a sailboat around southern Sweden, continuously honing his skills and deepening his connection to the sea.
After earning degrees in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, as well as Economics, Per transformed his oceanic passion into a career. He began as a kitesurfing instructor before moving into the maritime charter and delivery industry, amassing valuable experience. His career spans various roles within yacht sailing, from competitive sailing in his youth to managing private and flotilla charters. He has worked on flotilla charters with more than 80 vessels, handling guest management, overseeing skippers, providing flotilla instructions, planning routes, and stepping into leadership roles as a lead skipper.

In addition to his maritime pursuits, Per is a professional kite instructor with extensive experience as a Kitesurf and Wing foil instructor. His hospitality experience includes bartending, where he refined his mixology skills. Per is fluent in Swedish, German, and English, with proficiency in French and Spanish.
At 29 years old, he brings a wealth of experience and a strong background as a yacht captain, eager to contribute to exceptional guest experiences and operational excellence.

Sam grew up in New Zealand, spending most of his time sailing and diving from a young age he has developed a deep understanding of the ocean.
Sam served in the Royal New Zealand Navy for 10 years as a naval officer specializing in navigation. He has been deployed to many corners of the globe and continues to explore by the sea.
In his own time, Sam loves to dive, surf and kitesurf. As a dive master, having dived many places throughout Indonesia, Caribbean and pacific, and a sailing instructor, he is keen to take his exploration of the sea both above and below the surface.
Sam draws pleasure from making people happy, this gives him an edge to providing world class experiences for all his guests. Sam has been a charter captain for 4 years and is passionate about showing his guests what he loves, and he looks forward to making life long memories with you.

Maia grew up in a small town north of Boston, Massachusetts in a family of entertainers. Whether it was hosting extended family for Christmas Eve dinner, gathering neighbors to watch sports events, or welcoming friends for a homemade brunch, something was always going on at the Gifford house. Any good party is never complete without the food and Maia was taught from a young age that homemade is always best. Her parents ignited a desire to learn to make anything from scratch and to try to replicate favorite dishes from trips abroad.

After graduating from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with an Environmental Engineering degree, Maia hoped for something more than the typical 9-5 desk job that her degree promised and decided to take some time off to explore the world. While searching for a way to affordably travel Europe for the summer, Maia stumbled upon a position as a yacht chef. This job combined her love for cooking and entertaining with her desire for adventure and spontaneity. What was meant to be one summer turned into four years of working charters in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and French Polynesia. In each new location Maia has learned new skills from locals and fellow yacht chefs that she’s excited to bring to you on charter.

This dynamic crew is excited to be on Big Nauti and look forward to welcoming you aboard, showing you the wonders of the Virgin Islands and creating memories to last a lifetime!
