Dream Yacht Charters (DYC) is the largest charter company by any measurement. With bases all over the world and a very wide variety of monohulls and catamarans, the options are nearly endless. DYC feels a bit more like a "franchise" model with many of their locations operating like affiliates vs. fully owned and operated by the parent company. This allows them to expand quickly but does pose some risk as each base experience can vary.

DYC also provides the most charter options of any charter company. You can rent a cabin for a week or take a boat across the Atlantic for a 6 month sabbatical.

DYC's ownership options are also vast including the common "guaranteed income" and "performance based" options but also including unique offerings like their "Fractional Ownership" program.

If you're planning to charter, DYC will almost certainly be an option.

Dream Yacht in Grenada

We were aware that we were renting an older - 7 yr old boat that had been all over the place. In the Charter world the 3 year old boats are hard used. We did an older bareboat primarily for the lower price and knew there would be some issues but they usually don’t cause much trouble for a seasoned crew. The boat had a great refrigeration system, lots of cookware, good charts, nice windlass, and staff provided us with new cockpit chair cushioning and French press as we are Americans who like that sort of thing. It was a typical used boat with stuff that is used. Staff was very responsive to problems with mooring balls (not DYC’s fault) and difficulty with dinghy engine starts (we just had to acclimate to a coy Mercury). We like the people, and the boat was as is to be expected. We spent around 5 grand a week for a full 3 staterooms. We were happy. We enjoyed the captain’s meeting and received many good suggestions on where to go. Remember always swim your mooring ball - we were adrift and on the rocks due to a defective mooring ball. DYC is where you want to go if you are seasoned and want to spend most of your time in the water or at the beach.

An absolute nightmare

An absolute nightmare! I regret to say that my experience with Dream Yacht Charters BVI was utterly disappointing, warranting a one-star rating. The boat we rented was in deplorable condition, plagued by a plethora of issues. From cockroaches scurrying about to incessant leakage, malfunctioning batteries, broken drawers and cabinets, and a malfunctioning anchor, it was a nightmare from the start. Moreover, the absence of electricity, because of a malfunctioning battery pack/alternater, resulted in no power for essential appliances like the fridge, navigation instruments, anchor and lights which only exacerbated the situation. The poorly insulated engine turned the interior into an unbearable sauna, making our journey intolerable. Adding insult to injury, the caleche was leaking, further dampening our spirits. Despite these glaring problems, the office's response was appalling. They attempted to shift blame onto us and offered minimal assistance, if any. The litany of issues disrupted our planned route, forcing frequent stops for shore power every 2-3 days, driving up expenses due to exorbitant harbor prices. Additionally, the malfunctioning anchor necessitated costly moorings, further inflating our financial burden. In summary, our experience with Dream Yacht Charters was marred by incompetence, neglect, and a complete lack of accountability.

DYC makes it really easy to charter

DYC makes it really easy to charter a bareboat sailing vacation. Having done a dozen trips with the competition in BVI, Bahamas, Greece, Italy, etc I feel more confident in Dream's ability to get you on a high quality boat on time and in good condition. When they missed the boat (pun intended) in one situation, they were also gracious about admitting fault and offering a credit to future trips. I especially want to call out Savannah Collins on the American sales team who was a joy to work with over the phone. Thanks for everything Savannah!

Unsafe yacht

I chartered a 52 ft yacht in Antigua and it was unfit for purpose and potentially dangerous. There was an extensive list of faults which ruined our holiday, including a windlass that did not operate, an anchor that did not swivel, reefing lines jammed in the boom and hazardous swim ladder. The yacht also lacked basic appliances, had a hole in the kettle and missing fire extinguishers. This is an accident waiting to happen. I could go on… Dream yachts refused to even acknowledge my emails and sent no apologies. Avoid them at all cost.

Don't let your dream vacation turn into a nautical nightmare like ours!

Dear sailors and travelers, I am writing to you with a heavy heart and the need to warn you about my disastrous experience with Dream Yacht Charter (DYC). Recently, I entrusted this company for a dream trip through the Caribbean, only to find myself plunged into a nautical nightmare that dashed our carefully planned vacation and endangered our lives. From the outset, DYC's service left much to be desired. While the first few days of our journey went smoothly, everything unraveled when we experienced serious mechanical issues with the vessel. Two engines failed mysteriously, leaving us stranded in the middle of the ocean with no propulsion. Imagine the anguish and fear of being stuck at sea with families and children on board! But the worst was not just the mechanical failure, but DYC's incompetence and lack of accountability in addressing the situation properly. They ignored our distress calls, left us adrift for hours, and only after the situation became critical did they decide to take action. And I can't even begin to describe the additional problems we faced when we were finally "rescued"! DYC's response to this disaster? A refusal to acknowledge their responsibility and an offer of insultingly insignificant compensation. Not only did they refuse to reopen our claim, but they also attempted to discredit our version of events, implying that we were never offered the additional sailing days we claimed. Dear sailors, if you value your safety and your vacation, I urge you to steer clear of DYC like the plague. This company not only lacks integrity and professionalism, but also jeopardizes the lives of its customers with its negligence and lack of care. Don't let your dream vacation turn into a nautical nightmare like ours!

Poorly maintained boats

For reference, I've chartered in the BVIs about 12 times over almost 45 years, as well as Greece, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere. We chartered in late Jan (2024) from Dream Yacht Charters out of Hodges Creek Marina near Fat Hog Bay on Tortola. On the one hand, sailing in the BVIs is always wonderful, so I'm not doing a hand-wringing "our trip was ruined" post. On the other hand ... The older boats at Dream Yachts are very poorly maintained. We faced myriad problems, including an ancient repeatedly patched bimini and dodger that ripped on the first windy day, and a hole in the galley floor caused by one of the checkout crew, that was never fixed. Multiple systems were leaking into the bilge or broken, including the A/C pump (leaking at the thru-hull!) and the galley seawater pump. The fresh water system broke halfway into the trip. Most alarming was the failure of one of the head macerator pumps -- they checked to see if "we'd clogged it". The "technician" disappeared into the head with a wad of paper in his hand, closed the door behind him so I couldn't see, and then announced that the pump output pipe (that I had previously checked) was clogged! A complete scam/ripoff. The sails on our boat were old and patched, the V-berth mattress and all the cushions mold- and mildew-stained, and everything generally tired. The galley was awful, with two wine glasses (for max pax of 8) and zero tumblers. We had to ask for a pot big enough to cook pasta, and for a colander. The shore power at the marina didn't work (we didn't stay at marinas elsewhere) -- which threatened to spoil our newly-purchased provisions. Of folks we met from other boats, one had a problem with their winch, and I heard of many other problems. Bottom line -- they don't maintain their boats. I'll never charter from Dream Yacht again (at least in the BVIs).

Dream Yacht Charter Raiatea Bora Bora

We had a blast on a 5-days trip around Raiatea, Taha’a & Bora Bora. Conditions were exceptional so was the crew. We had a beautiful and confortable catamaran for the 7 of us with plenty of space. The crew was super friendly and knowledgeable bringing us to beautiful snorkelling and cultural places around the different islands. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Fantastic experience all round

Fantastic experience once again delivered by Dream Yacht Charters in the UK. Transparent pricing from the start and excellent value. Could not believe that the insurance indemnity was included in the price! Lorraine could not have worked harder to guide us on location and yachts to suit our needs. Any questions were dealt with quickly and professionally. The yacht we chartered met with our expectations and I have no doubt that had we experienced any difficulties at the base, Lorraine would have done her utmost to sort. Thank you for such a first class service. We will continue to charter from Dream Yacht Charters without reservation

First experience with DYW and first…

First experience with DYW and first time with DY Croatia. Preparation and briefing with the service team in US was so thorough that when I got to Dubrovnik ACI Marina everything run smoothly. No hidden costs, everything very transparent. We took a skipper who happened to be top notch, a local celebrity. Trip was excellent in all respects but we had little wind and we had to motor most of the time: next time I will make sure we reserve minimum guaranteed winds of 15 knots LOL

Dream Yacht Charter is HIGH Risk - Avoid!

If I can prevent just one more bad, unsafe DYC boat experience, maybe yours, then writing this review was worth it. We have discovered Dream Yacht Charter has earned a highly questionable reputation for providing poorly maintained boats for charter and based on our recent experience it is well earned. See the fast-growing 2,400 Member Facebook page: groups/dreamyachtchartersuck and TripAdvisor.com's almost 50% 1-star DYC reviews. Most of those with posted DYC issues have received no recourse, may have faced serious safety situations due to poor boat maintenance and/or support, may have sued, but like us, are seeking to prevent others from experiencing DYC’s lack of concern for charterer safety, maintenance incompetence, and blatant contract breaches. Charter DYC at your own risk. If interested, here’s our DYC experience. We chartered a boat for 8 days out of Nassau with indicators of issues to come on day 1 - the generator not working (yes, it worked at the dock and we did as thorough a boat check as allowed). The following 3 days turned into hell due to a dysfunctional boat promised in their contract to be in "good working order.” DYC breached our contract in 3 important ways. By day 3, the boat’s batteries were completely depleted. We had lost 2 nights sleep due to alarms going off throughout the night and a generator out of oil as we hung on an anchor in 35 knot winds completely without power for engines, navigation systems, lighting, windlass, or icebox cooling, etc. The batteries were truly dead, and would not hold a charge for more than 1 hour. DYC later denied this important fact – they missed the source maintenance problem. In the end, we had to count on our own backup phone batteries to have any communication at all. By this time, we were labeled a “distressed vessel” by the National Park Ranger who checked on us repeatedly until DYC eventually showed up. This, a second contract breach when a support vessel was not sent out as promised within 4 hours, let alone the next several days. Of note, 4 other DYC boats within a 5 mile radius also had crippling issues, including a broken halyard, a damaged transmission, broken generator, and disabled engine. After 3 days on anchor, DYC’s repair crew arrived and jerry-rigged the generator (their words), never fixing the batteries, and we were evacuated from the boat. A 3rd contract breach, no other boat or lost charter time reimbursement was then provided to us per our contract (and their own marketing materials and salespeople). During one long night while waiting for assistance, we discovered that the chartplotter listed all the same engine and battery alarms we were experiencing during the charter before ours – evidence of questionable maintenance and safety. Despite the evidence, and after multiple requests, no refund or credit was offered, and only a denial of our experience was received by DYC. While some of you may have had a more positive DYC experience, should you charter from DYC in the future you do so at your own risk and may also be left in a dangerous situation with wholly inadequate charter support and a company that does not appear to value customer safety, its own contracts, or satisfaction. Based on our research and the Facebook page, it appears DYC’s poor maintenance is experienced in nearly every charter location worldwide, and its corporate integrity a systemic safety issue. We encourage you to read the reviews before signing up, and taking them seriously - their contract is worthless to you. Bad charter boats do happen, but it appears DYC's are the worst, obfuscated by great marketing. We encourage you to stay safe and to look into other charter company alternatives.

Unfortunately disappointing (Abacos)

Unfortunately our 3rd tour with DYC was disappointing. The captain was disinterested, rude and barely present. The Abacos are still worth seeing - with a different crew. Despite our feedback, Dream Yacht Charter didn't get in touch. Bad customer service for us. We sailed the last time. Well, we hardly sailed.

No Dream in Dream yacht Charter

This was my worst vacation. We bare boated and the boat broke down, for 5 days we were stuck in a marina, while the boat was repaired and DYC has refused to do anything. these additional costs, we didn't plan for, and we lost a huge part of our vacation. before you book with them, try getting a hold of the base in the Bahamas, or a supervisor or someone who deals with complaints or refunds. Aside from sales/customer service (booking) you wont get past the iron curtain!

Dodging any issues.

We lost one day of our charter due to our freshwater being pumped into the starboard engine bilge whose bilge pump was not working and consequently filled up with water , at one point we thought we were sinking ! We returned to base as we had no water and no way of keeping it in the tanks even if we could have refilled. In another incedent in a torrential downpour a fixed cabin window leaked and destroyed my laptop. The reply from DYC main office was less than helpful. The laptop destruction was our fault as we put it in the wrong place and the lost day was ignored. Be very carefull when dealing with the main office they seem only to want to dodge any issues which involve any sort of refund.

Fantastic Charter - Great Trogir Base Manager and Staff

We chartered a 45ft catamaran. Boat was in excellent shape and we had no issues. Well equipped with chart book, extra propane and all other amenities. Base staff was super friendly and helpful and always asked us if everything was ok or if we needed anything when we passed them on dock. Base manager Tommi was super friendly and engaging, ensuring all of our needs were met and also took the time to suggest ports as well as booking slips for us. What a fabulous country and superb charter!

Great charter with Dream Yacht in St John

Had a great bareboat charter sailing around St John out of St Thomas with Dream Yacht Charter in a brand new Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40. Thanks to Dawn Fingers and the rest of the team for helping to accommodate our last minute booking. Highlights were Zozo’s at Caneel Bay and Cruz Bay. We’ve booked bareboat charter with Dream Yacht a number of times in the past and have they seem to be the best outfit in terms of boat maintenance and professionalism.

Hello Colin, Thank you for your wonderful review. We're glad you had a great time with us in the USVI and we will pass your review to our team :) We look forward to seeing you again soon with pleasure. The Dream Yacht Charter team.

Love the staff and service

We most recently chartered our first Catamaran in Exumas Islands, Bahama and had a magnificent experience. That was our 4th charter with Dream Yacht Charter and are very happy with the overall service, boats and staff at the base. All the bases we have visited are very busy- but we always feel we get what we need and are attended to. Love that they have bases all around the world. Have 2 more bookings this year - La Paz tomorrow and Naples, Italy in July. Never think about looking for alternative companies

Dream Yacht Charter Shutters two US Charter Bases

Dream yacht charter key west, dream yacht charter puerto rico & spanish virgin islands.

• Not enough demand from charter customers. With lower revenues, yacht owners may have requested their sailboats be moved to busier locations, such as the next-door US and British Virgin Islands. The Spanish Virgin Islands are still relatively undiscovered. I do think in the long-term, popularity will grow. You can read more about them in my cruising guide.
• I think the base was understaffed, which led to lower customer satisfaction. In turn, charter customers chose other options due to reputation damage. It was clear to me the small fleet had a some deferred maintenance and a team that wasn't able to keep up.

Dream Yacht Charter opens new base in Mexico

Dream Yacht Charter has opened a new base in Marina Las Velas, Isla Mujeres, to serve the Maya Riviera and Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The base will open for bareboat and skippered yacht charters in January 2021.

Maya Riviera, Cancun, is the fourth new base the company has launched this year as Dream Yacht Charter responded to increased domestic demand. St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Key West in Florida and La Spezia in northern Italy were also opened this year.

The company is also relaunching its Bahamas base in Marsh Harbour, Abacos, at Conch Inn Yacht Club & Marina early next year.

“Now more than ever, people are looking for something new and easily accessible,” Loïc Bonnet, founder and president of Dream Yacht Charter, said. “We continue to lead the way, opening new sailing areas to our guests. Maya Riviera is the perfect addition to our offering – a destination providing the potential to get away from the crowds to enjoy solitude and easy to get to from well-connected Cancun.”

Reflecting back on 2020, Loic said: “We delivered more charters than anyone else in 2020 and adapting to the rapid change in demand for domestic tourism was key. We moved our boats to where our customers were and offered flexible options.

“We have the advantage of a large fleet and wide network of bases with prominence in key markets in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Americas and the exotics. We had a good summer season in the Mediterranean and we were busy this Thanksgiving.”

Dream Yacht Charter announces new base in the US Virgin Islands

This quaint marina is set away from the hustle and bustle of the cruise ship traffic of St. Thomas and is just five minutes from the Red Hook area. The marina features the Dive Bar, a popular, local hangout, and a store. Customers will be able to choose from monohulls and catamarans for  bareboat  and  skippered  yacht charters. The USVI fleet includes a new  Bali 5.4  and  Saona 47 , both with watermaker and air conditioning. Those looking for the ultimate experience can enjoy our  all-inclusive crewed packages  on luxury catamarans.

The USVIs consist of three main islands, St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, which offer some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Many use the USVIs as a jump-off point for the  British Virgin Islands  and the customs process is simple and easy to do.

Dream Yacht Charter Founder and President, Loïc Bonnet, said: “St. Thomas is an important base for us in the Caribbean and we welcome the new partnership. The natural splendour of the USVIs is often overlooked but now guests can experience this special part of the world, as well as the BVIs.”

Kristi Query, Founder of Virgin Islands Yacht Charters, said: “Dream Yacht Charter is the worldwide leader in yacht charters and the partnerships mean we can develop our St. Thomas operation into the largest, most professionally managed charter base in the US Virgin Islands. “The ease of travel, with non-stop flights from many international airports, offers a convenience factor not associated with many other charter locations, as well as, cost-saving advantages. We look forward to integrating our high level of professionalism and work ethic into the Dream Yacht Charter family.”

Worldwide, Dream Yacht Charter now operates 1,250+ boats in 60+ destinations, offering bareboat , skippered , luxury crewed and by the cabin charters . New base openings in 2019 included Panama, Stavanger in Norway, La Paz in Brazil and Lake Champlain and Newport Rhode Island in the States, offering wider cruising options for sailors wanting to explore further afield.

Mocka Jumbies and Rum...

Belize boasts 450 cays, the world’s second longest unbroken barrier reef, the awesome 1,000ft-wide blue hole and three impressive atolls. With Mayan ruins, lush jungle and exotic wildlife ashore and a diverse marine ecosystem with 100 coral and 500 fish species, rays, sharks and dolphins, there is so much to discover.

Robert’s Grove Marina is just nine miles from the cays, where you can hop between Whipray Cay, Lark Cay, Lagoon Cay, South Water Cay, Hatchet Cay, Coco Plum Cay, as well as Lighthouse Reef, Glover’s Reef and Turneffe Flats. The marina has Wi-Fi, showers, laundry, water and electricity and has fantastic views of the lagoon.  

SCUBA Diving Belize

Dream Yacht Charter founder Loic Bonnet, said: “Our customers have been asking for us to have a base in Belize and now I am pleased to say we have. Belize is known for its underwater beauty and is a must-sail destination for those who love snorkeling and diving. The barrier reef and Bartlett Trough are so impressive. And all this reached easily with a short flight from Miami.”

Describing their new base in St. Lucia, Mr Bonnet said the Caribbean was an important destination for the company and their customers. “Saint Lucia offers a fantastic mid-point to explore the exciting Caribbean islands, from the British Virgin Islands in the north to the Grenadines and Grenada in the south.”

Dream Yacht Charters have also added The Exumas, Naples, Pula and Montenegro to their list of bases. dreamyachtcharter.com
