Our take: Walk'n on Sunshine

Walking on Sunshine is a modern 2023 Dufour 48 that stands out for its comfortable four-cabin ensuite layout and well-designed outdoor living spaces. The shaded flybridge is a major advantage for guests cruising in warmer months, offering a comfortable place to relax underway while still enjoying panoramic views. Based in St. Thomas, she is a great option for exploring the US Virgin Islands and surrounding cruising grounds, while her strong selection of water toys makes her equally appealing for guests looking to combine relaxation with activities on the water.

Just wanted to tell you how wonderful our trip was!!!!!

The boat and the people were amazing! The captain, was the perfect fit and we really appreciate him stepping in at last minute! Super knowledgeable about the islands and fun to be around. Sandy, the chef, was amazing as well. And when I say chef, she is really a chef! Food was outstanding and healthy!!!

We were never in need of anything. So fun to be around also. Plan to keep in touch with everyone!

The islands were beautiful and it was really hard to come home. Benita did a wonderful job helping us find just the right boat for our family, and it was wonderful!
