What is a Sail Share charter?
Our Sail Share charters are a special type of cabin charter package with set itineraries, half board meals and watersports included. Experience lively sailing aboard a unique 47-foot sailing yacht that optimises outdoor enjoyment. You relax while our professional crew take care of the sailing and meal preparation.
Your Sail Share yacht – the spacious Sun Loft 47
You’ll sail aboard a 47-foot Sun Loft sailing yacht, designed for comfortable onboard living and plenty of outdoor space for dining and lounging.
The Sun Loft is perfect for outdoor lovers, with open air spaces optimised for comfort and socialising. Relax on the cushioned loungers with a bimini for shade, while your cook prepares meals on the plancha in the open-air kitchen. While at anchor, enjoy water sports and swimming from the large swim platform with ladder for easy access to the water.
Below deck, the space is dedicated to comfortable sleeping accommodations with spacious double cabins. The 2 aft double cabins each have en suite baths, while the 4 forward cabins (3 for guests) share 2 baths that are cleaned by the crew. 2 cabins can be converted from double beds to bunk beds, if preferred.
Life on board our adventure sailing trips
Once you’ve checked in, your friendly crew will show you to your cabin, familiarise you with your yacht and be on hand to answer any questions.
When you’ve settled into your cabin, you can meet your fellow travelers for welcome drinks.
Guests will dine together and there are plenty of opportunities to find quiet time alone for a walk on the beach, swimming or snorkelling if that’s how you want to holiday.
Adventure sailing charters are relaxed and informal so pack light with plenty of beach wear.

Mathias
Croatia BareboatThe marina itself is a perfect starting point with great facilities! The Lagoon 42 was in good condition and the skipper was amazing and very knowledgeable of the area.”
Jonathan
Spain SkipperedWhat an AMAZING experience. We’ve just returned from a week long skippered charter from Corfu, sailing around the beautiful islands of the Ionian. Paxos, Antipaxos and Corfu Old Town were beautiful and the secluded bays we had the pleasure of visiting thanks to our local skipper, Nicholas, were simply overwhelming. Fly and flops are no longer for us – we’ll be chartering with DYC for the foreseeable future.
David
Greece SkipperedOur group of 10 had an AMAZING time in French Polynesia from May 21-28, 2022! The food was amazing, our captain and chef, husband and wife: Henry and Mehee (sp), were incredible and the whole experience on board was a dream! We can’t wait to book another trip through DYC

Tahiti Crewed PremiumDYC provided a great sailing experience for my extended family on 2 monos out of Scrub Island. The boats were in great shape and preformed perfectly and the staff were friendly and helpful. Having worked for a number of charter companies over the years DYC is one of the best.
Charlie
British Virgin Islands BareboatBaja is my favorite place now. There was something for everyone: sailed under northerlies with mostly calm evenings, snorkeled, fished, bummed it on the sandy beaches, enchanted by pelicans feeding, greeted by the barking sea lions and explored the Ispiritu Santo island geology. DYC La Paz base provided competent professional support with a well provisioned and maintained boat. We were nourished well by an onboard cook arranged with DYC freeing us all for more play. A vacation and an adventure connected with nature.
