AMAJEN

Yacht Details

Welcome to Amajen, the new 2022 Fountaine Pajot Aura 51. Her sleek and proven design seamlessly combines high quality sailing experiences with luxury and comfort. At the cutting edge vessel design, Amajen features innovative versatility throughout the vessel. The cockpit to salon sliding doors can open completely allowing guests or crew to transform two separate areas into a single open space design. The spacious galley provides a highly efficient use of the salon space while allowing for large relaxation spaces in the brightly lit interior common areas. This while still offering easy passthrough to the cabins without sacrificing any of the open feeling of the vessel regardless of the number of guests. The large table in the cockpit seats eight adults comfortably for al fresco dining, playing some board games or enjoying evening cocktails. Amajen features a large flybridge offering a 360-degree view with plenty of lounge seating where guests can enjoy the ride underway or an evening under the stars. The flybridge also offers sunbathing pads for all to enjoy sun filled days at anchor. The foredeck offers more spacious lounge area with reclining seating as well as pulpit chairs from which to enjoy the waves underway. Both of these exterior areas maximize comfort and allow guests to enjoy the ocean breeze while taking in the beauty of your natural surroundings in comfort. Amajen offers three guest cabins with queen sized beds for six pax. One of which is a massive owner’s master cabin which uses up the entire port side of the vessel. The pinnacle of comfort. This master cabin includes a spacious walkway, plenty of storage, a desk and dressing room area, as well as a walk-in bathroom with double sink, separate glass-fronted shower and closeted toilet room. The master also features a separate entrance that leads directly onto aft deck. All other cabins offer dry heads with separate shower rooms and are spaciously appointed. All cabins offer multiple integrated USB charging ports, 110v US outlets, air conditioning, plenty of storage space, and ocean views. For water-sports, Amajen carries something for everyone including two electric sea-scooters, two stand- up paddle boards, fishing rods and tackle, floating dock, and a variety of floatation aids. For tow sports, Amajen offers tubing and an all-in-one ZUP board. For the complete luxury sailing vacation experience, come sail with us on Amajen this season!

Yacht Crew

YOUR CREW
CAPTAIN: Justin Avioli
CHEF: Maia Gifford

Justin is a Texas native and a true Jack of All Trades. After a successful career in Oil and Gas, and dabbling in the Tech Space, he has opted to break free of corporate life and take to the open seas as an avenue to explore the world.

He started sailing on the Hudson River, hosting the occasional cruise around the Statue of Liberty. Since then, he has sailed across oceans and in multiple countries( Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, Sardinia,Thailand and the Caribbean), teaching sailing to other using his Sailing Instructor certification but enjoys chartering in the Virgin Islands most of all!

When he’s not on the water, he’s dabbling around the tech space. He's known to have quite a few stories up his sleeve from his many adventures which he would love to share, and is always keen to make more with future guests!

He can't wait to share the joys of island life 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 has now turned into three 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.

Justin and Maia are looking forward to hosting you in the Virgin Islands aboard Amajen for the vacation of a lifetime!
