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.

Walk’n On Sunshine Guest Reviews

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 imagine

The 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! We are booking the next one! Bryan has amazing stories to tell. Ask him! Nina is an effortless and terrific cook! We had the most wonderful time!

The Kubenas Exceptional stay!

Our stay was exceptional and chaotic as is anything with our two families. Bryan and Nina were awesome always being available and enthusiastic during our stay and we look forward to coming back in the future. More time of course but otheriwse keep smiling and don´t take the situation too seriously. Life is short and so long as y´all are having fun we will be as well! Love, The Kubenas.

The Ogdens experience
