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.

He automatically gets a 10/10 from me. He was the man. He was always flexible with us and our decisions/desires on what we wanted to do but still stepped in when he needed to. I never felt that I was in danger for any reason on the yacht or any other time. Basically, like i said before, he was the man, and the crews he has in the future have an amazing week in store for sure!!
