Step aboard the 2023 48-foot Dufour Catamaran, thoughtfully designed to host up to eight guests in four queen cabins. Its perfectly balanced layout—dividing the deck plan, cockpit, flybridge, and foredeck into equal thirds—creates a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor living in every season. At the bow, two expansive sunbathing areas offer prime spots for soaking up warm rays and gentle sea breezes. Ascend twin stairways to the generous flybridge, where a low central table is surrounded by plush seating and broad sunpads beneath a protective bimini—an idyllic perch for panoramic views or relaxed afternoons at sea. Aft, the cockpit unfolds like an open-air living room, featuring a teak dining table for eight, multiple seating and relaxation zones, and a built-in gas plancha for effortless alfresco dining. Large portholes flood the lower salon with natural light, and a sliding window door opens fully to merge cockpit and indoor lounge into one seamless entertainment space. Inside, the open-plan salon invites convivial gatherings beneath a 360° sea-facing panorama, while the fully equipped, ergonomic galley flows naturally towards the cockpit. A versatile sofa-dining unit adapts from cozy lounge to elegant table or even an extra double berth, and wide wraparound windows bathe the interior in warm daylight. Below decks, four queen cabins each enjoy private dual-entry access from port and starboard, ensuring maximum guest privacy. Every stateroom boasts its own ensuite with separate shower, generous storage, and thoughtfully placed portlights for excellent ventilation and brightness—creating serene retreats for restorative nights at sea.

Chef Sandra “Sandy” Ochoa
Raised in Key West, Florida, Chef Sandy Ochoa began her journey in hospitality at just 14 years old, quickly discovering a passion that would shape her career. From an early age, she was drawn to the way food brings people together — a universal language that connects across cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.
At 19, Sandy moved to Maui, Hawaii, where she trained under multiple chefs and further developed her culinary skills. She also gained valuable experience working at a zero-waste vegetarian restaurant, strengthening her ability to create thoughtful and delicious dishes for vegan, gluten-free, and celiac diets, as well as accommodating a variety of dietary preferences and sensitivities.
Her culinary style is rooted in tropical ingredients and coastal cuisine, inspired by the regions she has lived and worked in. Most recently, Sandy spent two years in Charleston, South Carolina, serving as Head Chef at LTLE FISH, a speakeasy-style raw bar in the heart of the city, where she refined her approach to fresh seafood and innovative presentations.
Sandy’s connection to the water runs deep. In her late teens, she spent time living aboard a 30-foot monohull, embracing a minimalist lifestyle and learning to create flavorful meals with limited resources — an experience that sparked her dream of becoming a yacht chef.
Passionate, creative, and adaptable, Chef Sandy brings warmth, intention, and bold flavor to every meal, creating memorable dining experiences that reflect her love for the ocean and the people she serves.

Guest Testimonials
Favorite Family Vacation Ever!
Our group of 8 (mom/dad, 22 & 20 year old daughters and 2 friends & 16 year old son and a friend) had a perfect week on Walkn on Sunshine. We island hopped and enjoyed incredible meals prepared by Marielle. She is amazing - every meal was delicious and her energy is great to be around. We enjoyed a few marina stays (Oil Nut Bay, Spanish Town and Scrub) and moored a few nights (definitely recommend reserving via Boaty Ball as the first come first serve balls go quickly). We hit all our favorite BVI spots and had great family time. Can’t say enough great things about Walkn on Sunshine and Marielle - can’t wait to go back!
Unforgettable!
Where do I begin…..From the moment we arrived Bryan and Nina worked tirelessly in EVERY aspect to ensure our group of 9 were happy and safe!
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!
