SunFunYou Voyages
We aren’t a cruise, and all that connotes. We don’t have air conditioned buses shuttling guests from site to site. We don’t have 24-hour buffets. We don’t require a rigorous check-in/check-out process for getting on and off the boat. We don’t up-charge at every possible moment. We’re a Voyage. Small. Intimate. Boutique.
I don’t have time to travel. Who has time to travel?
Wait.
That’s the point.
Traveling allows you to take a break from daily routine and see a new perspective ...then take home with you the gift of renewed energy, a more open mind.

We love traveling together as a family, and our favorite vacations involve water. There is a formula of sun, water and family that makes a week full of smiles laughter and love!! 👩👩👧👦+🌞+🏖=😂+😄+❤️
It’s a treasure to be together when the distractions of friends, homework, devices are all muted.
We love voyaging with our guests. But sometimes inspection voyages are magic! It is during these Voyages that we seek out locals who may tell us about a hiking trail that brings us to a historical ruin. We also venture off those trails, and are open to the serendipity of a “wrong turn” that will let our guests experience the magic of a majestic view, maybe one that is perfect for sunset and a bottle of wine!
Through my traveling I’ve also discovered some of my favorite foods thanks to sampling local treats from around the world. Sure, you can buy an expensive meal at a renowned restaurant, but those local delights can’t be beat.
Travel is a great way to celebrate most milestones. We’ve have birthdays, engagement celebrations, and honeymooners on the Voyages with us. When you’re celebrating something important, adding the dynamic of a special trip can really elevate the whole experience and make that memory stand out.
One of my most favorite parts of my role at SunFunYou is that I do my best to ensure the adventures are right for each person – whatever that means.
I love tasting, feeling, experiencing, learning about the places I go, learning the local history and culture. And food!
I love travel that challenges me physically. I am in no way a fitness fanatic, but there’s something exhilarating about proving to yourself that you can accomplish with your body what your mind set out to. Surf camp, yoga retreats, trekking excursions, I’ve done them all. I’m also a control freak and could never understand why so many of the adventures I signed up for were one-size-fits-all. Not everyone is one size!
And, we’ve started to have backgammon competitions on each of our Voyages, which are an absolute hoot! The first step is teaching everyone the Turkish rules, (captain’s boat, captain’s rules) and training the novices in the basics of the game. Then, we draw brackets and let the games begin. We’ve had some unlikely upsets, which is what brackets are all about, really. And, it’s a great way for people who may not know each other well to spend some quality time together.
At first it was odd to me that I kept wanting to go on the same Voyage. I have travelled the world, and rarely visit the same place twice (except when I’m with my niece and nephew who want to always revisit the same summer house in Michiana – now I know why!). In my travels I always planned something new. That was actually one of my goals (in my matrix…yes…my traveling planning matrix). I felt it was almost a disservice to myself if I retread the same ground. But then…I met the Blue Voyage.
One of my favorite parts of the Blue Voyage is the Turkish dance lesson we do onboard. The crew is really committed to helping us all learn. And the joy of dance and laughter and being free and silly is contagious. Even those guests who opt out at the beginning are tying on sequenced scarves and kicking their legs by the end. And if you’re really lucky, Rebekah may join us.
