Dream Yacht Charter Expands Offerings with New Programs

Dream Yacht Charter is enhancing its services with innovative programs designed to cater to a wide range of sailing enthusiasts. Dan Lockyer, Commercial Director at Dream Yacht, highlights the company’s extensive fleet and diverse offerings.

“We have the largest selection on the market, with over 800 boats, including 485 catamarans and 351 monohulls, based in 45 destinations worldwide. We offer eight sales and management programs, and five types of rentals: bareboat charters with or without a skipper, crewed charters (Easy Crewed or Premium Crewed), cabin cruises, and Sail Share. In 2023, over 100,000 customers trusted us, with 650 owners and 22,000 weeks of charter per year.”

Tailored Programs for Every Sailor

Dream Yacht Charter aims to provide accessible and flexible solutions for potential boat owners. The eight boat purchase programs are designed to accommodate various client needs and situations.

“Our goal is to offer attractive programs for all types of customers. With our eight boat purchase and management programs, every potential owner can find a solution that fully meets their situation and needs while enjoying the diversity and flexibility of our offers. At Dream Yacht, our priority is that our customers have the greatest possible freedom of choice. As a leading brand, we are constantly innovating with new programs such as Dream Second Wind and Dream Crewed Fractional, in addition to adapting the conditions of the Dream Guarantee and Dream Fractional programs.”

The variety of programs reflects Dream Yacht’s commitment to adapting to individual needs, making boat ownership and sailing vacations more accessible. Sales advisors provide comprehensive guidance, offering innovative solutions to help clients make informed decisions. Flexibility is key, and Dream Yacht strives to meet customer demand.

Who are these programs for?

These programs primarily target experienced sailors seeking to leverage boat ownership while enjoying vacation time exploring oceans worldwide. Whether owners prefer to invest using the boat’s assets or sail across the globe using a network of bases with similar boats, there’s an option to suit their project. These programs are also attractive to newcomers interested in discovering the world of sailing through shared ownership, allowing them to get started without fully financing a boat.

Common Features

Regardless of the chosen model, Dream Yacht Charter offers superior service, from initial contact with experts guiding future owners through their choices to boat delivery, where base managers care for the boat, and the Owner Care team addresses owner needs. The core elements of the programs include comprehensive service, professionalism, expertise, and access to an international network.

New Program Highlights

• Dream Guarantee: Offers lower-cost ownership with up to 12 weeks of sailing per year in prime destinations, plus a guaranteed 10% annual return on the boat’s value through charter operations for three and a half years. This helps offset the boat’s purchase cost while providing all-inclusive management. Certain Bénéteau group catamarans (Lagoon and Excess) offer an additional 1% return.
• Dream Fractional: Enables sailors to co-own a boat without the high costs or responsibilities of traditional ownership. Co-owners receive payments from the boat’s charter activity, helping reduce operational costs. Dream Yacht manages maintenance, finances, and marketing. The Dream Crewed Fractional program offers the same benefits with a professional crew onboard.
• Second Wind: Dream Yacht’s pre-owned boat acquisition program. Similar to Dream Guarantee, it applies to boats completing their contracts, offering recent, well-maintained boats at competitive prices to extend their fleet contract. A wide selection of used boats of all sizes and types is available, from sailing and power catamarans to monohulls.
