Captain: Bryan Smither
Captain Bryan Smither
Captain Bryan's story is a tale woven with the threads of nature, and it all began in the vibrant landscapes of South Africa. Born and raised surrounded by the beauty of the wild, Bryan's life has been a dance with the elements. If he's not riding the waves in the ocean, you can bet he's sailing on them. And on those rare occasions when he's not in close proximity to the ocean, he's probably daydreaming about it.
Coming from a family deeply rooted in adventurous, ocean-centric pursuits, it was almost destiny for Bryan to find his calling in sailing. But here's the kicker – Captain Bryan is not your average seafarer. Sure, he's a charter captain, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
This man wears many hats, or should I say, life jackets? He's a dive instructor, a surf instructor/guide, a marathon canoeist, a yoga instructor, a wellness expert, a masseuse, a free diver, and to top it off, a keen fisherman who's cast his line in some of the world's most remote archipelagos.
Bryan's yachting journey has taken him through the waves of South Africa and the Caribbean, and for the past nine months, he's been navigating the waters around the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands with lucky guests on board Walk'n on Sunshine.
Get ready for a journey where Captain Bryan brings his love for nature, adventure, and a touch of wellness to the high seas. On Walk'n on Sunshine, every wave tells a story, and Bryan is here to make sure it's an unforgettable one for all aboard. 🌊⛵☀️
