Easy eight, four suites. WALK'N ON SUNSHINE is a 48ft Dufour sailing catamaran built in 2023, set up to sleep 8 guests in 4 cabins with en-suite bathrooms: three queens plus a twin.
Outdoor life first. The aft swim platform and boarding ladder make it simple to get everyone in and out of the water without a production. Quick rinse after with the deck shower.
Floating cinema nights. There’s a movie projector with a large screen, and you can watch from the aft, from the water, or stretched out on the 10'10 Bote floating dock with inflatable chairs and a couch. Silly in the best way.
Comfort stays on. Full air conditioning, onboard Wi‑Fi (Starlink satellite internet), plus a generator and inverter keep the basics running smoothly, with a BBQ and ice makers handling the practical end of relaxing.

One million percent this team of Mufo and Sandy are beyond the best! We have not only had the best team but made friends for life ☀️
Mary & Chad
Eight friends, two couples, and a lifetime of memories made exploring the beauty of the BVIs. The islands were incredible, but what truly made this trip unforgettable were Matt and Sandy. You gave us the gift of feeling completely safe while somehow making every moment fun and adventurous. Your patience, your ability to teach, and your deep knowledge made it all better. Your personality made every day even brighter.
You are not just an amazing captain, you are someone we genuinely loved spending time with.
Sandy — six weeks in and clearly an absolute star. Your passion and creativity came through in every delicious meal. You did not just cook for us, you created moments that brought us together. Your energy is infectious and your talent is something really special. ♡
⸻
What meant even more is how you both went out of your way to make the experience just as incredible for the other boat traveling with us. That kind of care and thoughtfulness doesn’t go unnoticed.
Somewhere along the way, you stopped being our captain and chef and became part of our travel family.
Sitting here on our last morning, taking it all in, it’s hard to leave the BVIs — but even harder to leave you both.
Thank you for the laughter, the care, and the memories we’ll carry forever.
Same crew, same sunshine… until next time.

Nina happily adjusted meal plans more than once, obtained additional requested provisions, and went the extra mile to decorate for special occasions that took place during our stay.
Bryan was always keeping watch over the weather to ensure we sailed the safest and most comfortable routes. He was dedicated on maintaining the mechanical workings of the boat so that all was in tip top shape. He also provided beautiful table scapes for our evening dinners as well.
The two of them worked endlessly together doing dishes, and keeping the boat clean which was no easy feat with such a large group on board.
We loved all of our chats with Bryan and Nina, getting to know them on a personal level made them quickly feel like family to us.
You have not lived unless you've had a Bryan & Nina!!
We are blessed to have experienced such an unforgettable trip with the two of them! We will miss them very much but look forward to keeping in touch and following your upcoming adventures!
Best anniversary week you could ever imagine
