The Bali 5.4 is a "Multihull of the Year" award-winning catamaran. The design was new to the market in 2019 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. It is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space and it succeeds in producing a scale that feels less like a boat, and more like an upscale floating condominium. Bali catamarans are known and appreciated for their unparalleled success in blending luxury, space, and performance; producing a sailing experience that is unparalleled. This new design further capitalizes on that reputation with the advent of the "Bali garage door" that is the centerpiece of the yacht. It allows for the aft wall of the yacht to simply disappear, opening up the back of the yacht to an unobstructed view of paradise. This also affords indoor/outdoor dining options and gives the ever-present Caribbean breeze ample opportunity to make its way through the yacht with ease. With her solid foredeck gone are the forward trampolines, replaced by a large relaxing lounge area complete with cushions for sunbathing. A full-sized door provides access directly from the lounge area into the salon, allowing free movement through the yacht. A walk up to the flybridge unveils a seating area perfect for cocktails and taking in sunsets. There is also another area for sunbathing on the flybridge where you can take in the sights of the islands from the highest vantage point on the yacht. The Bali open space design is further complimented by the superior outfit and aftermarket items available on Sun Daze. No detail has been left unnoticed from the fine linens, pillows and throws to the wine glasses, serving and flatware that make every day feel luxurious. She has been stocked full with every appliance and kitchen accessory to allow the chef to fully showcase the mastery of their art. And the water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water. Sun Daze will accommodate 8 charter guests in 3 spacious queen cabins and 1 sprawling master cabin for those who desire more space. She is a brand new 2023 sailing catamaran with teak, hard top, hydraulic lift, solar panels, air conditioning, water maker, ice maker, full sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean made ecofriendly and reef safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkeling gear, underwater scooters, wakeboard, stand up paddle board, 10 ft. floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon, Fusion 3 Bluetooth enabled sound system and Sun Daze giveaways.

Crew Profile

CAPTAIN: Tiago Silva

Born in Lisbon and growing up in Peniche, a small surf town in the west of Portugal, Tiago always gravitated towards the water. He is an avid sailor, surfer and loves to swim. He started sailing when he was 8 years old, racing on Optimist sailing boats and later on 420 sailboats. Throughout his twenties he was a surf instructor at Baleal Surfcamp, teaching people from all over Europe how to catch a wave!

Tiago went on to study at Nautical University in Lisbon, where he received his degree in Nautical Sciences. He joined the Norwegian Merchant Navy as Deck Officer and worked on chemical tankers, seismic vessels and ROV vessels across the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic ocean.

During the summer of 2019, Tiago decided to move back to Europe and return to his love of sailing. He found through chartering that he could combine his passions for instructing, sailing, navigating and exploring, and has been doing so ever since. Tiago has spent vast portions of his life at sea and he is an extremely confident and experienced sailor. He enjoys sharing his knowledge and is eager to show others the wonders of life at sea.

Tiago is easy going, professional and is the kind of person that makes you feel safe and relaxed at sea. He also makes a mean Old Fashioned!

CHEF
Kiki Bouman

Kiki is originally from The Netherlands and she gained her culinary expertise through work in several upscale restaurants over the span of eight years, making her way from line cook to Sous Chef. She loved the fast paced environment of professional kitchens but eventually decided that it was time for something new. In 2020 she traded land-based kitchens for ocean view galleys, and hasn't looked back since.

Her love for food and cooking is a focal point in her life and everything she does revolves around it. Kiki loves to challenge herself in the kitchen, and she truly believes that she will never stop in her pursuit to gain knowledge toward the fine art of cooking. She confidently flows through all sorts of cuisines, from Thai to French to Mediterranean and Caribbean. Kiki's cooking is bold and 'lack of flavor' is not on her list. She believes the best memories are created at the dinner table, it is her mission to let guests experience incredible meals.

Whenever Kiki is not in the galley she likes to explore cities and take part in anything culinary related; wine tastings, dining in Michelin starred restaurants, you name it.

Kiki is hospitable and easygoing and has made it a sport to make you feel welcome.

Charter Yacht SUN DAZE Guest Reviews

March 2024

Piet & Kiki - Thank you for your hospitality. We had the best week aboard Sun Daze. Visiting Willie T's, The Baths, meeting Davide, Soggy Dollar and touring Necker are just a few of the many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. And Kiki, your chef talents are outstanding! We hope to see you both again some time. One of the best trips I've ever been on! Pieter and Kiki made it so much fun. Even as a picky eater, Kiki made the BEST meals and was so creative and was also such an amazing friend. Pieter always brought positive energy to the boat and was always excited to teach us new things. This trip was so fun, Maisy & I had the best time. Everything was amazing. It was lots of fun playing games on the boat including teaching Pieter new card games. Thank you both so much!
