Onboard catamaran SUN DAZE in St Thomas.
Not just another BALI. She’s got warmth, color, joy and so much flavor. Starting with a morning beetroot ginger shot and a brown butter espresso madeleines.
Cabins are neat and cozy the main saloon is homely yet luxurious.
The crew is wonderful and energetic. Great fit for a family.
They have a big inflatable floating platform and plenty water toys for both adults and kids, including 4 kids-friendly subnados.
Fresh, good looking Bali, we have chartered it multiple times.
Great crew, has been there since the start.
Bali 54 is spacious middle range catamaran, probably the most numerous catamaran for a crewed charter. Ideal for the BVI due to small distances- max 90 minutes of sailing with enough room to be hidden away from society for 7 days.
SUN DAZE Yacht Description
-
Sea Scooters (8 units):
Premium underwater scooters for exploring marine life with ease and excitement in the Caribbean. -
Hydraulic Swim Platform:
Large, accessible platform perfect for swimming, launching water toys, and relaxed family water time. -
Floating Mats & Paddleboards:
Ideal for fun water play, relaxation, and group activities suitable for all ages on calm waters.
SUN DAZE is basically a floating beach club with walls. The Bali 5.4 design gives you the full party trick: a huge open-plan saloon that merges straight into the forward lounge, plus an aft cockpit and a 360° flybridge. Translation: three separate outdoor zones where eight people can pretend they’re having different holidays at the same time.
Water toys are not theoretical; they’re the main operating system. A 14’ tender with 60hp, hydraulic swim platform, 12 ft floating dock, subwing, paddleboards, wakeboard, beach games, and eight sea scooters mean your day can loop between “jump off”, “get towed”, “go underwater”, “float and do nothing” on repeat. Snorkel gear, underwater camera and video are built in for evidence collection.
Inside, SUN DAZE runs like a small, efficient hotel. Launched in 2023, she sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 queen cabins plus a twin, all with en-suite heads and individual climate control. Full air conditioning, generator, water maker, proper Wi‑Fi, Fusion 4‑zone Bluetooth sound system and TV in the saloon keep the comfort level firmly in “civilization”, not “camping”.
The real cheat code is the crew. A professional captain with merchant navy and offshore experience plus a chef with serious restaurant background means you get safe navigation, custom itineraries and restaurant‑level food without leaving the boat. Special diets? Yes. Kids? Yes, as long as they’re water‑safe. You handle the sunscreen and playlist; they handle pretty much everything else.

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!
