Crew
Captain: Bryan Smither
Nationality: South African
Captain Bryan Smither
Born and raised in South Africa, Captain Bryan's life has been nature based for as long as he can remember! If he is not in the ocean, he is sailing on it, and if he's not near the ocean, he is wishing he was. Bryan comes from from an adventurous, ocean based family so it was only a natural progression for him to move into sailing. In addition to a charter captain, Bryan is a dive instructor, a surf instructor/guide, a marathon canoeist, yoga instructor, wellness expert, masseuse, free diver, and a keen fisherman having fished some of the worlds most remote archipelagos. His yachting experience has been gained sailing around South Africa and the Caribbean and for the past 6 months in Panama and surrounds. Bryan is really looking forward to exploring the USVI and BVI’s with his guests on board Walk'n on Sunshine.
Chef Nina Fischer
Born and raised in England, Chef Nina has always had a great love of the water. Nina has a working background in property management, security, financial services and hospitality and has worked at many events such as the British Grand Prix, Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, and other popular sporting events in the UK. When Nina found yachting, she was finally given the opportunity to combine her hospitality experience with her love of the ocean. In 2021, she left her land life behind and has been adventuring on the high seas ever since. She started off in the Med, but has since spent time in Sint Maarten, St Barths, the US Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Martinique, the Bahamas, and St Vincent and the Grenadines. Nina really enjoys making dishes that her guests will savour visually, as well as for the flavour, and ensuring her guests make memories that will last a life time is her priority. She is so excited to welcome guests aboard Walk'n on Sunshine!
Reviews
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
