ROTATIONAL CAPTAINS
CAPTAIN: Per Pertoft
Nov 1, 2025 - Jan 10, 2026
April 11 - July 11, 2026
CAPTAIN: Sam Crone
Jan 10 - April 11, 2026
July 11 - Aug 31, 2026
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!
