Dream Yacht Worldwide expands fleet and skippered charter options as sailing vacations gain popularity among non-sailors.
Dream Yacht Worldwide, formerly known as Dream Yacht Charter, announced its plans for 2023 as sailing vacations continue to gain popularity into the new year – including an increased interest in skippered and crewed charters. “Sailing vacations continue to gain popularity as a different way of experiencing the world and bringing people together – Dream Yacht Worldwide wants to make the transformative experience of sailing as easy as possible for as many as possible by offering customizable experiences using the knowledge and expertise of our team of sea professionals.”

One of the world’s leading ocean tourism companies and a pioneer in making sailing and sea travel accessible all around the globe, Dream Yacht Worldwide offers the most destinations and one of the largest and most diverse sailings, yacht, and boating fleets in the world.

“Our customers come from around the globe to travel the world – the name change and rebranding was a shift to highlight that we are a worldwide company making sailing accessible to travelers and sea-enthusiasts of all abilities,” shared Dan Lockyer, Vice President of Global Tourism, Dream Yacht Group.

Dream Yacht Worldwide will continue to offer sea travellers crew support, including skipper and hostess offerings to support sailors and non-sailors of all skill levels. In 2023, the company will sail the world’s seas with a new name and fleet additions and is anticipating increased interest in skippered charters. Since 2018, the number of catamaran charters rented with skippers to assist with sailing has more than doubled (+133%) in select destinations like the Mediterranean.

The group employs more than 600 people in 31 countries and operates in 50 destinations worldwide, with a fleet of more than 900 monohulls and catamarans. Due to demand and industry research pointing to an increase in Marine tourism, Dream Yacht Worldwide will launch 150 new boats in the coming season, of which 80% are catamarans.

During high season in the Mediterranean (June-September), more than one-third of Dream Yacht Worldwide’s catamarans were rented with a skipper, which has been growing steadily over the past few years. Dream Yacht Charter offers one of the most diverse fleets and the highest number of exclusive bases worldwide, from the sugary white sands of the Caribbean to Europe’s thousands of islands.

The company’s new catalogue of offerings will include Bali 4.4, Lagoon 51, Excess 14 catamarans and the Bali Catsmart. In French Polynesia, 26% of year-round bookings were with a skipper in 2022; in the French Caribbean, 20% included a skipper option.
Founded in 2000, the company began as a six-yacht company based in Seychelles.
