Hourglass Description
Hourglass, a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 from the Fountaine Pajot Flagship Class, embodies the perfect blend of elegance and performance. This luxury sailing catamaran is a stunningly beautiful vessel, with timeless sophistication paired effortlessly with bold, eye-catching styling. From the moment you see her, you’ll feel an instant connection - she sets the tone for an unforgettable journey. Luxury catamaran living is all about being outdoors and feeling connected to your surroundings in complete comfort and relaxation, and Hourglass delivers this seamlessly. Designed for gathering and unwinding, the aft cockpit features a gorgeous teak table perfect for meals or relaxing between ocean dips. Above, the massive flybridge offers shaded seating and a daybed lounge area for sun worshippers looking to soak in the Caribbean sun. The forward areas include a cozy cockpit, trampoline, and spacious princess seats atop the bows, giving you endless options to relax. Whether you’re sipping sundowners while watching the sunset or enjoying the thrill of sailing, Hourglass makes you feel completely at one with the Virgin Islands. Attention to upscale details defines Hourglass inside and out. From Williams Sonoma kitchenware to Pottery Barn linens and servingware, and a Miele espresso machine, every element has been carefully chosen to enhance your experience. Morning coffee becomes a ritual, while Chef Martin ensures mealtimes are elevated with thoughtful touches like a from-scratch pasta roller, sushi-making tools, and a wine fridge. Every detail reflects indulgence and care. When it comes to water activities, Hourglass offers a playground on the water. Paddleboarding, E-foiling, tubing, wakeboarding, snorkeling, and more are at your fingertips, along with floating loungers that take ocean-side relaxation to new heights. The removable sun awning for the front cockpit and daybeds in the cockpit provide perfect spots to unwind. And with 14 speakers placed throughout the yacht, you can enjoy peaceful tranquility or your favorite playlist whenever the mood strikes. Inside, Hourglass captivates with its spacious salon, elegant finishes, and thoughtfully designed spaces for relaxation and entertainment. The salon features a drop-down TV, perfect for movie nights or watching the big game, along with a guitar, microphone, PA/Karaoke system, a coffee table, and a breakfast bar - ideal for casual gatherings. Accommodations include four beautifully appointed en-suite staterooms, each with private showers and bidet-equipped toilets. The luxurious primary suite stands out with its oversized shower, vanity, and direct cockpit access, offering a private sanctuary within this remarkable yacht. Selecting the Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 was a decision driven by our passion for luxury sailing and outdoor living. Compared to other models like the Bali 5.8 and Lagoon 60, the Samana’s open design and seamless connection to the water made it the standout choice. Unlike the Bali’s enclosed cockpit, the Samana keeps you immersed in your surroundings, with expansive outdoor spaces and a perfectly placed wet area off the swim platforms. While the Lagoon 60 offers innovative features, its layout felt less cohesive than the Samana’s timeless design. As part of the Flagship Class, the Samana 59 boasts high-end finishes, a bold yet graceful appearance, and an undeniable elegance that draws the eye. Meticulously outfitted for indulgence and adventure, Hourglass was designed to elevate your Virgin Islands experience. From exhilarating sailing moments to unparalleled luxury and comfort, every detail has been carefully considered to create the ultimate getaway. She’s ready to welcome you aboard - book your adventure today. ***Photos in this brochure of the vessel are stock photos. Decor of the vessel may vary***

Captain Adriana Vega
Captain Adriana was born and raised in Puerto Rico, spending much of her life in and around the water. Her passion for sailing blossomed in her twenties when her father bought his first cruising sailboat, allowing her to explore some of the Caribbean´s most exotic sailing destinations. Before these adventures, she attended college in Florida, earning a BBA degree. While in Florida, she also worked in the service industry, where she honed her passion for entertaining. This unique background enabled her to combine her love for the water and hosting, leading to a fulfilling career as a charter captain. Adriana´s success in the industry is a testament to her determination and hard work.
Chef/First Mate Martin
As an international man of flavor, Chef Martin was born in Cairo,Egypt and raised throughout South America. His travels have brought him bouncing around the Americas and Caribbean, from grilling meats in Texas on his own food truck, opening an eco lodge in the wild jungles of Belize to being the finalist on an episode of chopped. He now found his way to the beautiful USVI looking to incorporate his love for food with his love for the water.
The passion for cooking and entertaining started at a young age, being influenced by his family in Venezuela. Hosting large family gatherings and making everyone feel at home and like family. Ensuring that there is enough for everyone to share in the festivities with a sense of belonging. He instills this mind set on every voyage and is looking forward to creating your next flavorful experience.
Classically trained at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde park, NY”, Martin has learned how to balance formality with his wild and inventive culinary spirit. Having constant access to the bounties of the seas every day he is on the water, the opportunity to create an unforgettable culinary experience is only a splash away.

What an amazing adventure you curated for us! We all had a fabulous
time cruising the BVIs- snorkeling, sailing, eating the best meals & of
course the cocktails. Thank you for hosting our crew of 10! Indulging
the kids & never ending questions. What a week- Captain Adriana and
Chef Rachel you are the best!

Rachel and Adriana,

made the trip so smooth, it was so awesome getting to know both of

week.
Y’all are incredible

Thank you so much Adriana and Rachel for such an amazing week!
This experience has been better than I ever could’ve expected and
that is very much due to you two going above and beyond for us this
whole week. I will miss the amazing food and top notch sailing so
much - even though we didn’t get to see Alix Earle, I couldn’t have
asked for a better senior spring break!

The trip was very fun. Chef Rachel made really tasty food. My favorite
was the cooc coco. Capt Adriana was really nice and was the best
captain I could ask for. I didn’t have a favorite part because everything
was so fun.

Thanks to Adriana and Rachel for making my spring break better than
I ever could have imagined. The food Rachel made was so great and I
never would’ve expected such amazing food on a boat. I am sad that
we never got to push Captain Adriana into the water, but your jokes
were always so funny. Thanks again for everything and I hope we
were your favorite guess of the season.

Unforgettable vacation with captain Adriana and Chef Rachel. They
could not have made the trip more memorable. They provided
outstanding service and fun! She always found the best mooring spots
for us. We loved having them come with us on adventures to karaoke
at Bitter End, explore the Baths, experience Willy T’s and so much
more. Captain was so flexible and accommodating. We really
appreciated her teaching our son Charlie to sail- she was so patient.
And chef Rachel- WOW!! She has such a passion for cooking. So
many wonderful meals- we actually ran out of adjectives
complementing her meals. We especially loved the salmon bowls,
lobster and rice. We could go on and on. Thank you so very much for
everything you did to make our BVI vacation so incredible!
Lots of love,
Holly, Allen (Piglet), Erin, Charlie, Mieler, Ben

Perfect vacation with the all gal crew! They changed up the plans on a
dime, made us feel extremely welcome and prepared food better than
a five ⭐ restaurant! Took us to all the cool spots. We all got to do
what we wanted to and they catered to our young adults too! Amazing
trip, Beautiful scenery, sails of a master and artistic and delicious
meals! I don’t know how we could have had a better trip, other than for
the week not to end! Thanks to the Memento Amori- what a
catamaran!! Set up perfect for our crew.
Thank you all for making our trip memorable!

April 2024- Review from Previous Yacht
We were all so excited to have a chef onboard & not have to cook or leave the boat! This was a unique week for Sam bringing Martin Horsey aboard in Carrie’s absence, but together they operated like a well-oiled machine. Martin was absolutely wonderful. We kept telling him to stop feeding us so much so we could have a chance to be hungry for dinner! I took pictures of almost every meal & snack he prepared. From fresh poké bowls, to homemade rum cake, lobster Benedict for breakfast or Nutella French toast, our tastebuds could barely keep up. We requested a steak dinner for our last night which he prepared perfectly, & he even rose to the challenge from Chris to make a Doritos encrusted snapper which we all loved! By the end of the trip the ladies were hanging out in the kitchen to watch him work. It was so clear that he loves his job & took great pride in feeding us. He can also make lots of fun mixed drinks & kept our glasses full!

Adriana and Rachael thank you so much for an amazing week from
our first day’s welcome to our final breakfast. ( nice job on that
rainbow :)! ) this trip has exceeded our expectations. We look forward
to following you “on social” and can hardly wait to hear about what you
both do next.

Adriana and Rachael are a dynamic duo, crewing a fabulous and
thoughtfully appointed (and roomy) catamaran. Their local knowledge
is excellent taking us to some fun party spots and some peaceful out
of the way hideaways we couldn’t have asked for a better crew.
Rachael’s food was outstanding. We ate better on the boat than at any
of our meals on shore. Everything aboard this operation is first class.

March 2024- Review from Previous Yacht
We felt very well cared for by Adriana and Rachel. They were
attentive, accommodating, and they seemed to know our needs and
wants without our having to ask. We enjoyed their humor and
flexibility. We also felt safe and they did an excellent job caring for us
and keeping us safe.
January 2024- Review from Previous Yacht
Thank You Adriana & Rachael for helping us celebrate our 25th
wedding anniversary in style. I know it was your first voyage together,
but it seemed like you have been together for years. The trip was the
perfect blend of relaxation, fine dining, sightseeing, and fun. I hope we
can see both of you back on the Memento Amori again in the near
future.
