Accommodation Details
Built in 2023, this 48’ Dufour catamaran is thoughtfully designed for effortless cruising, blending elegant living spaces with a balanced layout that creates a natural flow between the flybridge, cockpit, foredeck, and salon. Twin stairways lead to a spacious flybridge with plush seating, broad sunpads, and a protective bimini, while two expansive sunbathing areas at the bow offer inviting spots to soak up the sea breeze and panoramic views.
The aft cockpit feels like an open-air living room, complete with a teak dining table for eight, multiple lounging areas, and a built-in gas plancha for relaxed alfresco meals.

Walk´n On Sunshine Guest Reviews
June 2026
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!
