Crew Profile
Captain Bryan Smither
Captain Bryan's story is a tale woven with the threads of nature, and it all began in the vibrant landscapes of South Africa. Born and raised surrounded by the beauty of the wild, Bryan's life has been a dance with the elements. If he's not riding the waves in the ocean, you can bet he's sailing on them. And on those rare occasions when he's not in close proximity to the ocean, he's probably daydreaming about it.
Coming from a family deeply rooted in adventurous, ocean-centric pursuits, it was almost destiny for Bryan to find his calling in sailing. But here's the kicker – Captain Bryan is not your average seafarer. Sure, he's a charter captain, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
This man wears many hats, or should I say, life jackets? He's a dive instructor, a surf instructor/guide, a marathon canoeist, a yoga instructor, a wellness expert, a masseuse, a free diver, and to top it off, a keen fisherman who's cast his line in some of the world's most remote archipelagos.
Bryan's yachting journey has taken him through the waves of South Africa and the Caribbean, and for the past nine months, he's been navigating the waters around the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands with lucky guests on board Walk'n on Sunshine.
Get ready for a journey where Captain Bryan brings his love for nature, adventure, and a touch of wellness to the high seas. On Walk'n on Sunshine, every wave tells a story, and Bryan is here to make sure it's an unforgettable one for all aboard. 🌊⛵☀️
Chef Nicole
Meet Chef Nicole Alton, your positive nomad hailing from the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Born with a wanderlust spirit, Nicole has been lucky enough to explore the world since she was a little girl. Her heart beats for experiencing new cultures, discovering beautiful places, and wandering wherever the wind takes her.
But there's more to Nicole than just her love for travel. Nestled alongside her passion for the ocean is a genuine love for people. With a solid 12 years in the hospitality industry, she's donned many hats, always aiming to craft beautiful experiences for guests. And when it comes to being the chef on your catamaran, Nicole takes it up a notch – she's not just your chef; she's your friend and go-to gal for anything that can elevate your experience on this beautiful adventure.
Picture this: Nicole has whipped up culinary wonders around the Exuma islands in the Bahamas, sailed across the vast Atlantic Ocean, and now, it's time for her to sprinkle her magic in the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands alongside Captain Jayjay and their fantastic guests!
Get ready for a culinary journey that's not just about the food but about the warmth and joy Nicole brings to the table. With Chef Nicole on board, your adventure is about to get a whole lot more delicious and unforgettable! 🌮🍹🌴

Best Charter Ever!!!!
An absolutely amazing vacation! We cannot express our gratitude enough to Captain Bryan and Jaden. They were an amazing team and made our 4th time sailing the BVI's by far the best! The meals, itinerary, yoga (yes, Bryan even led us in yoga which was a bonus!) was all top notch. Plus they made our daughter's 21st birthday celebration extra special!! But best of all - it was not having to worry about anything because they had it all under control. It was a true vacation. The only thing that was sad was leaving them!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!
Trip of a lifetime
I’m not sure how to put this trip into words. We have traveled to many great places and this week has been by far one of the greatest trips ever. Bryan and Bri are fantastic and we could not have asked for a better crew. We will have stories for life and glad Bryan and Bri were part of it. From the amazing food Bri prepared daily to the beach days and Bryan teaching us the ropes of handling the boat. We even had a blast riding out the tropical storm for one night. The boat is a great size with everything you need on board. Beds are very comfortable and rooms have plenty of space. The places to sit and take in the views are numerous and none are bad. They crew never stops making sure all things are covered to make the trip unforgettable. This was an anniversary trip for us and another couple and it may never be topped. We will definitely be going back and Bryan and Bri will have to be part of it Best anniversary week you could ever imagineThe Shaw family
As long time lovers of all things sailing, swimming, and island hopping this was actually our first charter. What an amazing experience with Bryan and Nina. A great time was had!
