Casa Blanca Description
Step aboard CASA BLANCA, a floating sanctuary where sophisticated design meets barefoot Caribbean luxury. This stunning 2016 78’ Sunreef power catamaran invites you to indulge in the art of slow living - with every space crafted for relaxation, connection, and refined comfort. The yacht’s expansive interior features one extraordinary king suite and three spacious queen cabins, each with a private en-suite bathroom, electric head, modern vanity, and walk-in shower. Every cabin is bathed in natural light and cooled with custom climate control, blending polished elegance with island ease. Inside the salon, plush furnishings and panoramic windows create a serene, sun-kissed atmosphere ideal for reading, dining, or simply soaking in the views. Outside, the alfresco dining area transforms every meal into a celebration - whether it’s a breezy breakfast at sunrise or a candlelit dinner under the stars. What truly sets CASA BLANCA apart are the thoughtful lounging spaces that unfold across the yacht: a sprawling villa-style aft deck perfect for cocktail hours and sunset conversations, a chic flybridge with double seating areas for watching dolphins on the horizon, and quiet nooks throughout for a mid-afternoon nap or a glass of wine and good book. Whether you’re gathering as a group or finding your own private perch to savor the sea, CASA BLANCA offers the kind of elegance that never feels out of reach - where five-star comfort and tropical serenity go hand in hand.

Casa Blanca Crew Profile
Captain
Chef / First Mate
Captain Dylan Paynter
Born in South Africa and raised between the coast and the wilderness of Botswana, Captain Dylan brings a perfect blend of adventure, calm confidence, and deep-rooted hospitality to every charter.
From a young age, Dylan’s life has revolved around water and exploration - from barbel runs in the Okavango Delta and tiger fishing in Shakawe to cruising the Chobe River and wakeboarding on the coast. He spent his early years operating tractors and heavy equipment, guiding 4x4 safaris and quad tours, and hosting guests on game drives - all of which honed the leadership and problem-solving skills he brings to life at sea.
Dylan’s love for sailing began at university, where he raced L26 monohulls while earning his BCom degree. After qualifying as a skipper in South Africa’s famously wild waters, he went on to sail more than 11,000 nautical miles through 17 countries - from ocean crossings to long-range island hopping.
Now with multiple BVI charter seasons under his belt, Dylan has become known for his relaxed yet capable presence at the helm, his extensive island knowledge, and his natural instinct for crafting unforgettable experiences. Whether it’s a quiet sunset sail, whale-watching from the bow, a day of water toys and snorkeling, or celebrating a special occasion, Dylan ensures every moment is safe, seamless, and full of joy.
When he’s not at the helm of Casa Blanca, you’ll find him freediving, spearfishing, flying his drone, capturing wildlife photography, or firing up the BBQ for his guests. With the patience of an elephant and a true love for the sea, Dylan creates a warm, adventurous, and unforgettable atmosphere aboard.

Chef Kayla Bray
Chef Kayla brings vibrant flavor, heartfelt hospitality, and creative flair to M/Y Casa Blanca. Originally from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, she grew up in a home where cooking was a family affair - sparking her early love for fresh ingredients, colorful plates, and meals made with warmth and intention.
After completing two full charter seasons in the BVI, Kayla earned her GUEST Chef and Stewardess certifications, deepening both her culinary expertise and her service skills. Her cooking celebrates elevated, fresh flavors with a Mediterranean foundation and a distinct South African twist, often infused with South American or Asian inspiration.
Guests especially love her extravagant fruit platters and signature charcuterie boards - beautifully curated and always a highlight on board. But for Kayla, food is just one part of the experience. From themed dinners and stunning tablescapes to island outings and personal touches, she loves creating immersive moments that guests remember long after their charter ends.
When she’s not in the galley, you’ll likely find Kayla scuba diving, snorkeling, testing new recipes, snapping photos, enjoying sunset cocktails, or working on her next Cricut creation. Warm, creative, and endlessly passionate, Chef Kayla turns every meal into a celebration of flavor and connection.
⸻
Chief Stewardess Angelina Ready
Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Angelina brings a bright, adventurous spirit and a well-rounded skill set to every charter. After earning her degree from the University of Tampa, she embarked on a sailing trip in 2019 that changed the course of her life - sparking a love for the sea that led her to shift careers from bartending to yachting.
Since then, Angelina has embraced a dynamic path in the industry, working in roles ranging from stewardess to chef to captain. She earned her Yachtmaster Offshore certification and continues to expand her seamanship with each passing season. Her passion for guest service, paired with her knowledge of the vessel and love of the ocean, makes her an invaluable part of the NENNE crew during full-capacity charters.
Onboard, Angelina loves connecting with guests, mixing creative cocktails, leading celebrations, and jumping in for a snorkel at any opportunity. Off the water, she enjoys hiking, Pilates, beach days, and discovering new destinations. Friendly, attentive, and always ready to lend a hand, she brings energy and ease to the guest experience - ensuring that every detail feels effortless and every moment is memorable.

May 2022
What a magical week!! Hard to know where to even begin. The crew of the Valhalla created the perfect environment for my proposal to fiancé! Sergio picked out the prefect beach for us at sunset. Britnie captured the moment, both candid and staged, with beautiful photographs, and Chef Neen cooked up a feast of crab. We will never forget the experience : The crew of Valhalla feels like family.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
