Horizon Yacht Charters is delighted to present this Bali 4.8 crewed yacht Sailing Catamaran ‘Sunshine Baby’ for luxury crewed charter.
The Bali 4.8 design was new to the market in 2020 and provided a fresh approach to sailing. The design is revolutionary in how space is accessed, with deliberate attention to flow and open space. 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” which is the centrepiece 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 of Sunshine Baby. 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. The water toys abound, allowing guests to fully experience all the Caribbean has to offer, both in and out of the water.
Sunshine Baby will accommodate 8 charter guests in 4 spacious queen cabins. She has solar panels, air conditioning, a water maker, an ice maker, a full-sized refrigerator, a fully customizable menu, Caribbean eco-friendly and reef-safe toiletries, a bar stocked to guest preference, a coffee/espresso machine, rendezvous scuba diving, snorkelling gear, underwater scooters, sub wing, wakeboard, stand up paddle board, towable water tube, 10 ft. floating dock, pool noodles, fishing gear, board and card games, television in the salon, Fusion 3 Bluetooth enabled sound system and Sunshine Baby giveaways.

Crew Profiles:
CAPTAIN BIO
Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, amidst natural and sunny landscapes, Hugo is a seasoned sailor who has been captivated by water from a young age.
He grew up in England, in a small county just outside of London and spent most holidays by the seaside of Cornwall. At the tender age of seven, Hugo discovered his passion for sailing, racing lasers and 49ers while at school. Later in his youth, he became an instructor for this.
Hugo’s passion for sailing and the ocean grew stronger after school, so he headed to the South of France to work on luxury Superyachts. At 18, he was selected and sponsored to race across the Atlantic being the youngest crew in the fleet. This is when Hugo realized his true calling. He completed his Yacht Master amongst other qualifications with the dream of becoming a captain.
Hugo has at present, worked as Skipper and 1st Mate on luxury yachts of up to 100ft. From sailing charters to sea-life safari tours – he’s been sailing in some of the most beautiful and exotic locations around the world. After completing his second crossing to Antigua, he is currently obtaining his Ocean Master.
When he’s not at work, Hugo is an avid water sports enthusiast and instructor.
He loves to coach waterskiing, wakeboarding, and wake-surfing. Surfing, diving and fishing are also just a few of his many hobbies. Whether on the water or on land, Hugo is always seeking new adventures and finding ways to connect with the sea.

CHEF BIO
Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, amidst natural and sunny landscapes, Mila and the sea have a lifetime relationship. As a worldwide traveller, exploring new places and cultures is key to Mila, as is studying and learning different subjects.
Originally a graduated Veterinarian who also devoted a few of her ears to a journalism major. She has a very diverse set of past work experiences: from a communication and marketing analyst to handling and caring for pumas and jaguars in the Bolivian jungle, to becoming a yacht chef.
Over 10 years ago, at Palma de Mallorca, Spain, was Mila’s first encounter with yachting. Ever since that day, she could often be found in boats, of all shapes and sizes, exploring the bays and beaches of her homeland.
2022 was the year she decided to unite both of her passions, cooking and sailing. After taking professional cooking classes in Rio, she became a yacht charter chef, having sailed through Spain, Brazil, Panama, the Virgin Islands, and Antigua and Barbuda.
In order to further fuel her desire for new knowledge and new cultures, she has signed up for an adventure halfway across the globe, in the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Sydney, Australia, which she will complete just prior to joining Sunshine Baby. Mila hopes to bring new and innovative techniques to help her translate her passions and visions into cooking as a means to keep dazzling her guests.
