WALK'N ON SUNSHINE - CREW BIO
Captain Mufit Umar
Captain Mufit Umar brings over 15 years of professional maritime experience and more than 30,000 nautical miles under his belt — from the rocky coastlines of New England to the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, Caribbean, and beyond. Holding a USCG 100T Master License with Sailing and Towing endorsements, he’s helmed both monohulls and multihulls, power and sail, for private charters, deliveries, and training expeditions.
As a certified ASA and American Boating instructor (201, 203, 204, 214), Mufit has spent years teaching sailors of all levels. Whether guiding guests through their first time at the helm or leading experienced crews on challenging routes, he’s known for his calm confidence, patience, and emphasis on safety without ever compromising the fun.
With a strong background in offshore deliveries and charter command, Mufit’s skill set goes beyond navigation — he’s a meticulous planner, an expert in vessel systems and maintenance, and a natural leader who ensures smooth, secure voyages every time.
Above all, Captain Mufit is passionate about the ocean and sharing its magic with others. Guests appreciate his thoughtful presence, friendly professionalism, and the peace of mind that comes from sailing with someone who truly knows both the art and science of life at sea.
