Yacht Description
Fresh Bali platform. SUN DAZE is a 2023 Bali Catamarans sailing catamaran at 55 feet, set up to sleep 8 guests. Big beam, stable footprint, and a layout that keeps the group together without tripping over each other.
Deck life, sorted. You get three proper social zones: a flybridge with lounging and 360-degree views, a forward cockpit lounge with dining, and an aft cockpit for shaded meals and hangouts. Easy to spread out. Hard to disappear.
Water time made easy. The hydraulic swim platform is the day-to-day game changer for swimming, boarding, and general “back in the water” efficiency. Add the 12 ft floating dock and you have a ready-made setup for lingering at anchor.
Toys and real cabins. Expect sea scooters, a Subwing, wakeboard, snorkeling gear, and stand-up paddleboards, plus rendezvous diving if you want bubbles. Below, there are four queen guest cabins with private en-suite electric heads; note the starboard aft cabin has a wet head rather than a full shower.
Comfort basics included. Full air conditioning, onboard WiFi (Starlink listed), a salon TV, and a Fusion 4-zone Bluetooth sound system with 8 speakers. Also: BBQ for low-effort lunches that somehow turn into dinner.

Warm, colorful, and full of flavor — literally, starting with a morning beetroot ginger shot and brown butter espresso madeleines. The cabins are neat and cozy, the saloon homely yet luxurious, and the crew wonderfully energetic. A big inflatable floating platform and plenty of water toys, including kid-friendly subnados, make this a great family fit.

A fresh, good-looking catamaran we've chartered many times, with a crew who've been aboard since the very start. She's spacious and easy-going, and perfectly suited to the BVI's short hops — under 90 minutes of sailing between anchorages — leaving plenty of room to properly disappear from the world for a week.

Charter Reviews
With Love,
The St. Piers xxx
Thank you so much for the most amazing trip in the BVI that we could imagine! From the minute we stepped onboard, until the minute we reluctantly stepped off, the attention to detail, love, and care you guys provided was unparalleled to anything we’ve experienced before. Chef Kiki’s food was STELLAR! Every bite we had exceeded our expectations. Tiago’s expert navigation skills and knowledge of beautiful bays off the beaten track ensured perfect days on Sun Daze! From coffees to cocktails, to conversation, we appreciate so so much the effort you two made to make sure we had the best vacation EVER!
Special message to Kiki,
When said you have “pride” in your cooking, we knew what it may mean but we were not expecting Michelin star food quality and preparation every meal!! “Wow” words can’t really express the love you put into every meal you do, the details of every dish is what makes your dishes exceptional. Your preparation is hours of hard work and planning, this shows in the presentation of your dishes and the tastes of each cuisine was mouth-watering. We as a family will never forget your lobster vodka sauce pasta, your Asian fusion fish where you can taste the culture of Asia in every bite, the brioche you did on the first day we are still dreaming about the texture and taste, and the special “Kiki stores” is surely exceptional. We feel very lucky to have eaten such wonderful food made by Kiki, award winning chef! Thank you so much for sharing your cuisine and art with us. Thank you including our little Charlotte in your breakfast this morning, a memory we have captured on video for her.
Special message to Tiago,
Thank you for everything you have done to keep us moving safely on this boat. We know you take pride in managing every detail of the boat from morning to night, and even after everyone is asleep. You made the family feel very safe, especially our 3 kids onboard. We were never stressed during the entire week, despite windy conditions at times because you have everything under control. We are very lucky to have such an experienced captain taking us around. Steph also learned a great deal sailing with you this week so he is very glad to have this experience. P.S. Charlotte adores you!
We can keep going on but it won’t be enough. You guys truly made this vacation a very memorable one for our family. You guys are a great couple with amazing teamwork taking such care of the boat. Any owner would be so lucky to have you as their crew! Thank you again for everything!
Phoebe, you are a wonderful chef with a very special gift. We wish you much success as you journey on this new venture. There is no way that people won’t love you.
Tiago, what a fantastic captain you are. Your ability to navigate the islands made our experience extraordinary. Your recommendations for food, spa services and everything in between is unmatched. So attentive to all of our needs and willingly catered to every request. You’ve spoiled us and not sure there is another that could come close.
We will miss you both! Forever grateful for the experience and ability to share it with the both of you.
We had an unforgettable experience this week full of fabulous food, new cocktails, and many new experiences for our families. Thank you for showing us your secret island hideaway spots and arranging ATVs and a great scuba outing. We agree with you about Peter Island—it is the most special place. Swimming with sea turtles was incredible. Thank you for making us feel at home on Christmas Day and spoiling us with a lovely brunch and a spectacular surf and turf dinner. We will never forget your kindness and the fantastic care you took of our families. We hope to return to the BVI and we hope our paths cross again. Best. Trip. Ever!
