Captain

Nation: American
Chef
Matt Poto
Nation: American
Captain: Colleen Korona
Colleen was born and raised Florida, where she grew up playing on the water. She bought her first sailboat when she was 24 years old, decided to live on it and then sailed it to the Bahamas. Colleen stepped out of the boating world for a while and managed a mental health office with 10 doctors for several years before moving on to working at a nuclear brain-imaging facility. Then the recession came, and she was unemployed. It didn’t take much prodding to head back out on the ocean and do more sailing. She literally sold almost everything, packed the rest up, and spent the next year sailing the East coast and exploring the cruising grounds from Florida to Rhode Island. There happened to be a group of boats heading to the Caribbean in Virginia and she though, “What the heck! Let’s check it out and head to the Caribbean!” 14 days later they arrived in Tortola, BVI. She spent another year playing,
exploring, and sailing down to Trinidad, and then the money ran out. Colleen started to pick up jobs on charter boats here and there to have some money in her pocket. Over the next few years, Colleen worked as a first mate on a tall ship and sailing day-charter boats as well as a stewardess and deckhand on a trimaran and crew on mega yachts in New England. But nothing beats working in the Caribbean! Colleen then got her captain’s license, and now feels very fortunate to have a great office at sea where she can share the beautiful place with guests.
Chef/Mate: Matt Ponto
Matt has been in the customer service industry for the past 25 years. His career as a professional chef has led him to the Caribbean where ne now uses his culinary skills to create the perfect onboard dining experience to deliver a broad spectrum of flavors and genres, keeping each new day full of fresh ideas. Matt grew up in Florida and has spent most of his life in or on the water, and he’s been an avid scuba diver since 2006. In 2012, he got rid of
everything except for one suitcase full of clothes and started doing seasonal work as a traveling chef. After living in Hawaii, Alaska, and Cozumel, he found himself in ST Thomas working in a food truck on the beach when a friend approached him with a job offer as a chef on a charter boat. This is where he met Colleen and discovered the perfect gig. Since then, Matt has combined his love of food with his love of the ocean to create the perfect charter for more than just a vacation experience – but a passion for life and nature, and the desire to share those things with like-minded individuals.

Just off Amaya - spent 6 nights. Crew is awesome. The food was 5 star and Colleen did an excellent job with on shore activities and the water sports. If the charter is interested in food, they will be very happy they chose Amaya.

Thank you for such an amazing experience. Amy the food was exceptional. Every meal we had was beyond our expectations. Biff we had so much fun with you. Your “lectures’ were informative & entertaining. Your passion for what you do is contagious & inspirational. Piers, the service you offer was over & beyond any expectations we had. The drinks you made every evening were fabulous. Thank you especially for Tom’s sweet tea & daquiris. We want to do this again but can’t imagine doing it without y’all. We’re sad y’all are moving on but it gives someone to visit in England! Please stay in touch!

Amy, Biff & Piers,
Thank you all for the adventure of a lifetime! I had no idea just how amazing this vacation would be. You three managed to exceed expectations each and every day by going above and beyond. Your enthusiasm and attention to detail made every minute of our trip truly exceptional. Lots of fantastic memories were made on this trip!
Best of luck in your new venture!
Sherry & Wayne
Amy, Biff & Piers,
How do we even say how AMAZING you three are & the Amaya? It has been the trip of a lifetime. So beautiful. Amazing sights to see. You three are the sweetest & we so appreciate all that you did to make one week perfect. Amy; The food was better than 5 stars – loved it all!. Biff; Loved the stories, adventures and snorkeling. Best Ever! Piers; The perfect cocktails & taking care of everything else. Thanks again for everything. The Best Crew & Friends Ever!!
Love Judi & Dave
Amy, Biff, Piers,
We cannot thank you enough for all of your efforts & hospitality on the beautiful Amaya this week. Although it was intended to be a celebration for Toms 50th I appreciate how you all quickly realized this week was all about me! My sincerest apologies for placing plastic and aluminum in the receptacle clearly designated as “Plastic only”! I also deeply regret the broken cooler handle and pulling the tender towards the yacht incorrectly using the “grabbing handle”! The morning hikes were truly a nice treat, even if it thwarted my prior plans with Sherry that did not involve leaving the suite!
In all earnestness, you three did a tremendous job entertaining our group and catering to our every need. You clearly take pride in the Amaya and your guests experience to ensure a first class vacation.
Amy, your meals were outstanding, which will only result in Sherry wanting to eat in even more expensive establishments! Best wishes & good luck with your next endeavor in UK. I cannot wait to come and break things there!

Dear Team,
When we started this voyage together, you said we’ll feel like family at the end. You were not wrong!
From Amys outstanding cooking to Biff & Piers’ tutelage on all of the things – the sea, the ship etc – your hospitality felt like a warm hug that hasn’t stopped from the moment we set sail.
Thank you for making this trip of a lifetime that much more extraordinary.
We hope that you’ll all stay in touch and we miss you already.

Every meal was greater than a 10. Amy thank you for sharing your craft so beautifully. You are the best.
Piers, your energy was elevating and grounding simultaneously. You’re a magician and you make damn good cocktails.
Captain Beef, your enthusiasm is infectious and your love of boating, the islands and adventure made our time with you so fun.
Congratulations on best crew ever! Much love and gratitude, your favourite Canadian guests…?

Christmas 2023
Dear Biff, Amy & Piers,
Your collective ability to have us feel so very much “at home” during our splendid and extraordinary week with you on Amaya will remain with us forever. Your high regard for each other, demonstrated in how you relate to each other respectfully, confidently and with humor and compassion, sets the stage for what is possible when experiencing Amaya.
We felt welcome and invited to engage our senses (including our sense of wonder) when experiencing sports, relaxing, meeting new people, drifting along a slow current in a snorkel or paddling through a mangrove garden. Pushing ourselves to kayak, water-ski, bush-whack, or paddleboard in quiet coves put smiles in our hearts and on our faces. Most of all, your responsiveness to our needs, the attention to detail, anticipating what we would enjoy, and preparing delicious, healthy food with care and love helped us feel connected to each other and to you.
Spending Christmas with strangers is not easy. Working on Christmas is a sacrifice. We appreciate how generous you all are and how much you gave of yourselves.
May you know, deeply, how much we appreciate you and how much we wish you the best for of everything as 2024 unfolds.
We look forward to seeing you all again before too long and till then, being in touch.
Love Rob & Dale

All the Best, Your Jackson Hole Friends.

9th - 15th June 2023 BVI
Dear Amaya Team, Aka Biff, Amy & Piers,
Well, what a fabulous time we’ve had. This has been a very special week with great friends in a place in the world we’d never been to. We discovered paradise – The BVI’s, but not just an island paradise, a place that we’ve learned about thanks to your skills and enthusiasm in showcasing the best places to go – the best beaches, bars, restaurants, sand spits etc. But we’ve also experienced amazing Caribbean foods & flavors with the expert skills of Amy with culinary creations and Piers with his expert cocktail skills, table décor etc!! Biff was so enthusiastic in everything he did – his love of yachts and sailing seems to be as much as his love of wanting everyone to experience the joy of being on the water.
He has imparted a huge amount of knowledge to us and shared his joy of the region.
It's the care, diligence and genuine hospitality that’s been the best part of it all. We’ve felt like not only have all our needs been met but they’ve been over delivered upon & anticipated., And that’s what’s turned a fabulous sailing holiday into an incredible experience that would be hard to beat anywhere!
Thank you! Thank you for your generosity of spirit, your enthusiasm and your professionalism in every aspect of what you do.
Hugs to you all,
Misha & Nigel
Thank you, Biff, Amy & Piers,
Best Crew Ever!!!!
Best Cruise Ever!!!!
Amaya-zing time!
You work brilliantly together. Everything works flawlessly (or your group do brilliantly at making it look perfect!!!!) Your seamanship is so much fun to watch. Better still, over 3 seasons Amaya is in better condition and in much better care than she has ever been!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed their week, Our friends thoroughly enjoyed their week and Nigel & Megan enjoyed both!
Welcome to our family!!!!
Thank you, George.
Thank you for all of the amazing adventures, hikes, snorkelling & sailing/water sports. Thank you for all the amazing and beautiful arranged food and thank you for all the killer cocktails!
Love Tanja.
Dear Biff, Amy & Piers,
Thank you for making this a trip of a lifetime. I felt extremely comfortable & safe and Jeff & I enjoyed all the wonderful activities. The service was wonderful and the food beyond incredible! It was lovely sleeping at night to the sound of the sea and the catamaran is in incredible shape! I would recommend this trip to anyone, and it was truly an enjoyable and peaceful experience!!
Thank you for making this time so special for Jeff & I,
Love Lots, Jeff & Colleen xoxox

Dear Crew Amaya; Biff, Amy & Piers,
As you know, Allison & I had experienced two previous BVI Charter trips but we had a cat charter on our bucket list. We began the Boat Worthy Crew charter with very high expectations and excitement – the 3 of you provided and experience exceeding both!!
To say this trip was a trip of a lifetime is an understatement with each day full of excellent service, fun, laughs and education.
As we love to say and toast, we must never lose our sense of gratitude and wonderment while we celebrate our fellowship, experiences & memories!!
With our love and Happy Sailing,

BVI Beyond all our expectations!
Thank You Thank You Thank You!
This was an incredible week mostly because your hospitality onboard made it so special. From the meals to the activities to the local knowledge to the sailing skills, it was beyond all our expectations. The boat is beautiful and the BVI are Paradise… but without this stellar crew it would only have been half as good.
You three make AMAYA the best Charter yacht in the Caribbean. Thank you! The Nunez B, W, H and E
BVI So much fun exploring
Dear Amaya,
Thank you so much for an incredible vacation. The children had so much fun exploring this beautiful catamaran. The adults enjoyed it very much as well. The frozen drinks and the food were incredible as well. Exploring the BVI with the Amaya crew was an overall amazing experience. We hope to be back very soon. The Acosta and Carmony family
Simply The Best
Dear Amaya March 26 2022
This past week has been perfect. We could not have felt more welcomed each and every day. Every meal was delicious – so much that our 11 and 13 year old, found themselves not only trying everything but eating it too.
We have never taken a trip like this before and plan on making it annual. The BVI’s are simply beautiful . Amaya has all the frys. Everyone loved the Seabobs. To say we admire Bruce, Begona and Jess is simply an understatement. They are simply the best! We feel so blessed to have gotten a week with them. They made our trip for sure. Thank you & and much love. Kath, Scott, Will and Emma - Connecticut
Happy New Year - with kids
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the most incredible week on the most luxurious boat with a world class captain and crew. This is our third charter and it was by far the nicest boat and the very best service. The captain,was so accommodating and bent over backward to meet our every need as was the outstanding chef. Not only were her meals delicious and presented beautifully, she listened 100% to our pre-charter menu requests. Tihana makes an excellent pina colada and is wonderful with kids. The kids loved cooking and hanging with the crew.

Chef
Matt Poto
Nation: American
Captain: Colleen Korona
Colleen was born and raised Florida, where she grew up playing on the water. She bought her first sailboat when she was 24 years old, decided to live on it and then sailed it to the Bahamas. Colleen stepped out of the boating world for a while and managed a mental health office with 10 doctors for several years before moving on to working at a nuclear brain-imaging facility. Then the recession came, and she was unemployed. It didn’t take much prodding to head back out on the ocean and do more sailing. She literally sold almost everything, packed the rest up, and spent the next year sailing the East coast and exploring the cruising grounds from Florida to Rhode Island. There happened to be a group of boats heading to the Caribbean in Virginia and she though, “What the heck! Let’s check it out and head to the Caribbean!” 14 days later they arrived in Tortola, BVI. She spent another year playing,
exploring, and sailing down to Trinidad, and then the money ran out. Colleen started to pick up jobs on charter boats here and there to have some money in her pocket. Over the next few years, Colleen worked as a first mate on a tall ship and sailing day-charter boats as well as a stewardess and deckhand on a trimaran and crew on mega yachts in New England. But nothing beats working in the Caribbean! Colleen then got her captain’s license, and now feels very fortunate to have a great office at sea where she can share the beautiful place with guests.
Chef/Mate: Matt Ponto
Matt has been in the customer service industry for the past 25 years. His career as a professional chef has led him to the Caribbean where ne now uses his culinary skills to create the perfect onboard dining experience to deliver a broad spectrum of flavors and genres, keeping each new day full of fresh ideas. Matt grew up in Florida and has spent most of his life in or on the water, and he’s been an avid scuba diver since 2006. In 2012, he got rid of
everything except for one suitcase full of clothes and started doing seasonal work as a traveling chef. After living in Hawaii, Alaska, and Cozumel, he found himself in ST Thomas working in a food truck on the beach when a friend approached him with a job offer as a chef on a charter boat. This is where he met Colleen and discovered the perfect gig. Since then, Matt has combined his love of food with his love of the ocean to create the perfect charter for more than just a vacation experience – but a passion for life and nature, and the desire to share those things with like-minded individuals.

Just off Amaya - spent 6 nights. Crew is awesome. The food was 5 star and Colleen did an excellent job with on shore activities and the water sports. If the charter is interested in food, they will be very happy they chose Amaya.

Many thanks for a great adventure and all the opportunity to create memories that will continue to bring us great joy and last for the years to come.
This was a special, treasured time for our family. It was made so much richer by all your acts of kindness and hospitality. You all have a special, unique gift for what you do and it is apparent that it comes straight from the heart.
I have no doubt that whatever your next endeavour is, it will be nothing less than an outrageous success.
It was our honor and great pleasure to spend this time with you. Not goodbye, but so long, until our paths cross again≥
With our love, Fayn & the Hicks family.

Your enthusiasm and attention to detail made every minute of our trip truly exceptional. Lots of fantastic memories were made on this trip!
Best of luck in your new venture!

How do we even say how AMAZING you three are & the Amaya? It has been the trip of a lifetime. So beautiful. Amazing sights to see. You three are the sweetest & we so appreciate all that you did to make one week perfect. Amy; The food was better than 5 stars – loved it all!. Biff; Loved the stories, adventures and snorkeling. Best Ever! Piers; The perfect cocktails & taking care of everything else. Thanks again for everything. The Best Crew & Friends Ever!!
Love Judi & Dave
Amy, Biff, Piers,
We cannot thank you enough for all of your efforts & hospitality on the beautiful Amaya this week. Although it was intended to be a celebration for Toms 50th I appreciate how you all quickly realized this week was all about me! My sincerest apologies for placing plastic and aluminum in the receptacle clearly designated as “Plastic only”! I also deeply regret the broken cooler handle and pulling the tender towards the yacht incorrectly using the “grabbing handle”! The morning hikes were truly a nice treat, even if it thwarted my prior plans with Sherry that did not involve leaving the suite!
In all earnestness, you three did a tremendous job entertaining our group and catering to our every need. You clearly take pride in the Amaya and your guests experience to ensure a first class vacation.
Amy, your meals were outstanding, which will only result in Sherry wanting to eat in even more expensive establishments! Best wishes & good luck with your next endeavor in UK. I cannot wait to come and break things there!

Dear Team,
When we started this voyage together, you said we’ll feel like family at the end. You were not wrong!
From Amys outstanding cooking to Biff & Piers’ tutelage on all of the things – the sea, the ship etc – your hospitality felt like a warm hug that hasn’t stopped from the moment we set sail.
Thank you for making this trip of a lifetime that much more extraordinary.
We hope that you’ll all stay in touch and we miss you already.

Every meal was greater than a 10. Amy thank you for sharing your craft so beautifully. You are the best.
Piers, your energy was elevating and grounding simultaneously. You’re a magician and you make damn good cocktails.
Captain Beef, your enthusiasm is infectious and your love of boating, the islands and adventure made our time with you so fun.
Congratulations on best crew ever! Much love and gratitude, your favourite Canadian guests…?

Christmas 2023
Dear Biff, Amy & Piers,
Your collective ability to have us feel so very much “at home” during our splendid and extraordinary week with you on Amaya will remain with us forever. Your high regard for each other, demonstrated in how you relate to each other respectfully, confidently and with humor and compassion, sets the stage for what is possible when experiencing Amaya.
We felt welcome and invited to engage our senses (including our sense of wonder) when experiencing sports, relaxing, meeting new people, drifting along a slow current in a snorkel or paddling through a mangrove garden. Pushing ourselves to kayak, water-ski, bush-whack, or paddleboard in quiet coves put smiles in our hearts and on our faces. Most of all, your responsiveness to our needs, the attention to detail, anticipating what we would enjoy, and preparing delicious, healthy food with care and love helped us feel connected to each other and to you.
Spending Christmas with strangers is not easy. Working on Christmas is a sacrifice. We appreciate how generous you all are and how much you gave of yourselves.
May you know, deeply, how much we appreciate you and how much we wish you the best for of everything as 2024 unfolds.
We look forward to seeing you all again before too long and till then, being in touch.
Love Rob & Dale

Dear Biff, Amy & Piers,
Thank you from the guests that keep coming back! You guys are THE BEST and this has been THE MOST AMAZING VACATION OF OUR LIVES! Lots of Owaha from Jackson Hole.
Dear Amy, Biff & Piers,
Where to begin??... We had the trip of a lifetime. Our first ever trip to the Caribbean / BVI’s was full of wonderful weather, fabulous snorkelling and meeting new friends while vacationing with old friends. From the beginning, you made us feel welcome, comfortable and pampered. We will be planning our next visit and will be looking forward to being pampered again by you.
All the Best, Your Jackson Hole Friends.
Where to start?
THANK YOU!!!!!
Amy, Biff & Piers, you are without doubt THE BEST CREW EVER! Amaya is now a boat we love but a crewed yacht is not the boat, it is the crew & you’re EXCEPTIONAL!!!!
Your love, amazing hospitality, food & drinks, your seamanship, your team work & mostly your love are all massively appreciated.. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY SPECIAL TIME IN OUR LIVES!
Thank you!
Kirby Charter – Amaya – 13/11/23 – 20/11/23
What an amazing journey! Your excitement for us made each day incredible! The owners of Amaya are super fortunate to have you three amazing people. You have ignited a fire in us for the sea that I hope to keep burning. Thank you all!
Simply Wow! What an incredible week! I simply can’t imagine anything better Just know God has given each of you a unique talent and we are beyond blessed to treasure this time for the rest of our lives. Much Love!

9th - 15th June 2023 BVI
Dear Amaya Team, Aka Biff, Amy & Piers,
Well, what a fabulous time we’ve had. This has been a very special week with great friends in a place in the world we’d never been to. We discovered paradise – The BVI’s, but not just an island paradise, a place that we’ve learned about thanks to your skills and enthusiasm in showcasing the best places to go – the best beaches, bars, restaurants, sand spits etc. But we’ve also experienced amazing Caribbean foods & flavors with the expert skills of Amy with culinary creations and Piers with his expert cocktail skills, table décor etc!! Biff was so enthusiastic in everything he did – his love of yachts and sailing seems to be as much as his love of wanting everyone to experience the joy of being on the water.
He has imparted a huge amount of knowledge to us and shared his joy of the region.
It's the care, diligence and genuine hospitality that’s been the best part of it all. We’ve felt like not only have all our needs been met but they’ve been over delivered upon & anticipated., And that’s what’s turned a fabulous sailing holiday into an incredible experience that would be hard to beat anywhere!
Thank you! Thank you for your generosity of spirit, your enthusiasm and your professionalism in every aspect of what you do.
Hugs to you all,
Misha & Nigel
Thank you, Biff, Amy & Piers,
Best Crew Ever!!!!
Best Cruise Ever!!!!
Amaya-zing time!
You work brilliantly together. Everything works flawlessly (or your group do brilliantly at making it look perfect!!!!) Your seamanship is so much fun to watch. Better still, over 3 seasons Amaya is in better condition and in much better care than she has ever been!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed their week, Our friends thoroughly enjoyed their week and Nigel & Megan enjoyed both!
Welcome to our family!!!!
Thank you, George.
Thank you for all of the amazing adventures, hikes, snorkelling & sailing/water sports. Thank you for all the amazing and beautiful arranged food and thank you for all the killer cocktails!
Love Tanja.
Dear Biff, Amy & Piers,
Thank you for making this a trip of a lifetime. I felt extremely comfortable & safe and Jeff & I enjoyed all the wonderful activities. The service was wonderful and the food beyond incredible! It was lovely sleeping at night to the sound of the sea and the catamaran is in incredible shape! I would recommend this trip to anyone, and it was truly an enjoyable and peaceful experience!!
Thank you for making this time so special for Jeff & I,
Love Lots, Jeff & Colleen xoxox

Dear Crew Amaya; Biff, Amy & Piers,
As you know, Allison & I had experienced two previous BVI Charter trips but we had a cat charter on our bucket list. We began the Boat Worthy Crew charter with very high expectations and excitement – the 3 of you provided and experience exceeding both!!
To say this trip was a trip of a lifetime is an understatement with each day full of excellent service, fun, laughs and education.
As we love to say and toast, we must never lose our sense of gratitude and wonderment while we celebrate our fellowship, experiences & memories!!
With our love and Happy Sailing,
Evan & Allison

To Tommy, Piers and Amy,
There are no words which can describe adequately the amazing vacation we have had aboard the Amaya.
You all were incredibly warm, friendly and professional. But really fun too!
We feel we are saying goodbye to friends and we look forward to meeting again.
Everything was perfect!
Best regards and God Bless all of you.

BVI Beyond all our expectations!
Thank You Thank You Thank You!
This was an incredible week mostly because your hospitality onboard made it so special. From the meals to the activities to the local knowledge to the sailing skills, it was beyond all our expectations. The boat is beautiful and the BVI are Paradise… but without this stellar crew it would only have been half as good.
You three make AMAYA the best Charter yacht in the Caribbean. Thank you! The Nunez B, W, H and E
BVI So much fun exploring
Dear Amaya,
Thank you so much for an incredible vacation. The children had so much fun exploring this beautiful catamaran. The adults enjoyed it very much as well. The frozen drinks and the food were incredible as well. Exploring the BVI with the Amaya crew was an overall amazing experience. We hope to be back very soon. The Acosta and Carmony family
Simply The Best
Dear Amaya March 26 2022
This past week has been perfect. We could not have felt more welcomed each and every day. Every meal was delicious – so much that our 11 and 13 year old, found themselves not only trying everything but eating it too.
We have never taken a trip like this before and plan on making it annual. The BVI’s are simply beautiful . Amaya has all the frys. Everyone loved the Seabobs. To say we admire Bruce, Begona and Jess is simply an understatement. They are simply the best! We feel so blessed to have gotten a week with them. They made our trip for sure. Thank you & and much love. Kath, Scott, Will and Emma - Connecticut
Happy New Year - with kids
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the most incredible week on the most luxurious boat with a world class captain and crew. This is our third charter and it was by far the nicest boat and the very best service. The captain,was so accommodating and bent over backward to meet our every need as was the outstanding chef. Not only were her meals delicious and presented beautifully, she listened 100% to our pre-charter menu requests. Tihana makes an excellent pina colada and is wonderful with kids. The kids loved cooking and hanging with the crew.
