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.

Sun Daze Guest Reviews
March 2025
Dear Kiki and Tiago,
Thank you so much for the most amazing trip in the BVI that we could imagine! From the minute we stepped onboard, until the minute we reluctantly stepped off, the attention to detail, love, and care you guys provided was unparalleled to anything we’ve experienced before. Chef Kiki’s food was STELLAR! Every bite we had exceeded our expectations. Tiago’s expert navigation skills and knowledge of beautiful bays off the beaten track ensured perfect days on Sun Daze! From coffees to cocktails, to conversation, we appreciate so so much the effort you two made to make sure we had the best vacation EVER!
February 2025
We want to sincerely thank you for an amazing week on this beautiful boat you call “home”. You made us feel so welcomed day 1, creating an environment that made us feel comfortable to enjoy this boat and with your company. Over the week we bonded and the whole family feels like you both have been friends with us for years. It has been a wonderful feeling for all of us, and we hope its the same for you. As we say its the quality of time, not quantity.
Special message to Kiki,
When said you have “pride” in your cooking, we knew what it may mean but we were not expecting Michelin star food quality and preparation every meal!! “Wow” words can’t really express the love you put into every meal you do, the details of every dish is what makes your dishes exceptional. Your preparation is hours of hard work and planning, this shows in the presentation of your dishes and the tastes of each cuisine was mouth-watering. We as a family will never forget your lobster vodka sauce pasta, your Asian fusion fish where you can taste the culture of Asia in every bite, the brioche you did on the first day we are still dreaming about the texture and taste, and the special “Kiki stores” is surely exceptional. We feel very lucky to have eaten such wonderful food made by Kiki, award winning chef! Thank you so much for sharing your cuisine and art with us. Thank you including our little Charlotte in your breakfast this morning, a memory we have captured on video for her.
Special message to Tiago,
Thank you for everything you have done to keep us moving safely on this boat. We know you take pride in managing every detail of the boat from morning to night, and even after everyone is asleep. You made the family feel very safe, especially our 3 kids onboard. We were never stressed during the entire week, despite windy conditions at times because you have everything under control. We are very lucky to have such an experienced captain taking us around. Steph also learned a great deal sailing with you this week so he is very glad to have this experience. P.S. Charlotte adores you!
We can keep going on but it won’t be enough. You guys truly made this vacation a very memorable one for our family. You guys are a great couple with amazing teamwork taking such care of the boat. Any owner would be so lucky to have you as their crew! Thank you again for everything!
February 2025
We had the most amazing time aboard this charter for the last week! You both were phenomenal and provided the best service during our trip.
Phoebe, you are a wonderful chef with a very special gift. We wish you much success as you journey on this new venture. There is no way that people won’t love you.
Tiago, what a fantastic captain you are. Your ability to navigate the islands made our experience extraordinary. Your recommendations for food, spa services and everything in between is unmatched. So attentive to all of our needs and willingly catered to every request. You’ve spoiled us and not sure there is another that could come close.
We will miss you both! Forever grateful for the experience and ability to share it with the both of you.
January 2025
Thank you from Oklahoma & Nebraska, USA. The best food from Chef Kiki; never forget you are the HBIC! Sorry we drank you out of champagne & beer (is 18 cases a record?). Tiago - Thanks for keeping us safe from the pirates and making the best shots & cappuccino w/ Baileys for our morning pick-me-up. Enjoy your new sign from Tipsys. Bill was not leaving there without it. Keep an eye out for the WEAPONS!
December 2024
Tiago & Kiki -
We had an unforgettable experience this week full of fabulous food, new cocktails, and many new experiences for our families. Thank you for showing us your secret island hideaway spots and arranging ATVs and a great scuba outing. We agree with you about Peter Island—it is the most special place. Swimming with sea turtles was incredible. Thank you for making us feel at home on Christmas Day and spoiling us with a lovely brunch and a spectacular surf and turf dinner. We will never forget your kindness and the fantastic care you took of our families. We hope to return to the BVI and we hope our paths cross again. Best. Trip. Ever!
November 2024
Dear Kiki & Tiago, Thank you for making our charter in the BVIs an unforgettable experience! Your thoughtfulness, fun spirit, and easy-going nature set the perfect tone for our adventure, and we truly appreciate the elevated yet casual vibe. Kiki, your culinary creations are nothing short of spectacular. Each meal was a delightful surprise, and you constantly outdid yourself with dishes that rival a five-star restaurant. Tiago, your expert helmsmanship and knack for finding the most incredible spots made each day even more perfect than the last. We are so grateful for all you did to make this a trip of a lifetime. Wishing you smooth seas and trailing winds and many more wonderful charters ahead. Thank you!
August 2024
From the Brenner Fam -
We couldn´t have asked for a better chef and captain for this amazing vacation. The itinerary was perfect, and the food and service were both impeccable. We would not have changed a thing!
We will be looking out for Kiki´s restaurant and cookbook in the future!
Thank you both SO much!!
July 2024
You guys made this trip as wonderful as it was. Everything was delicious, organized, well presented and enjoyable.

Truly a special week! The BVI was incredible and everything I imagined it would be. I feel so lucky to have your tow as our crew, you are what made the trip so amazing! Kiki, thanks for making every meal my new favorite food, and for being so friendly. Peter, thanks for leading the way! I plan on seeing you both again!
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!
