Benefits of Sailing with Catamarans
Superior Stability
Catamarans offer remarkable stability due to their dual-hull design. This makes them an excellent choice for families with children or individuals who are prone to seasickness.
Spacious Living Areas
Catamarans provide generous living spaces, with large decks, expansive salons, and multiple cabins.
Shallow Draft
The shallow draft of catamarans allows you to anchor closer to shore and explore shallow bays and secluded beaches that other vessels can’t reach.
Comfort & Amenities
Our catamarans are equipped with modern amenities to ensure your comfort. Features can include fully-equipped galleys, air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and lounges.
Speed & Safety
Catamarans are usually faster than monohulls, particularly on downwind runs and reaches. They can also be safer for inexperienced guests since the deck stays flat and doesn’t heel at an angle like a monohull.
Excellent Handling
Designed for optimal performance, catamarans offer excellent handling and manoeuvrability with dual engines, making docking and tight-space navigation a breeze.
Booking and Organisation
Organising a catamaran charter involves planning ahead to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience.
- Begin by choosing when you want to sail and your ideal location. Remember to book early to be sure that you book the best options for you.
- You can opt for self-catering or request a provisioning service to stock your boat with necessary supplies – either is possible, just don’t forget that provisioning is crucial!
- Enhance your adventure with extras like snorkelling gear or kayaks. Enquire ahead to ensure you book the equipment you need.
- Make sure you have appropriate insurance coverage for your trip.
- Familiarize yourself with the charter terms and conditions before finalising your booking. Our Dream Yacht team is here to help you understand all the terms of your trip, ensuring you feel completely at ease and excited for your adventure.
With careful planning and attention to detail, your catamaran charter can be a stress-free and unforgettable journey.
Our yachts are available with different packages, from bareboat, to skippered, by the cabin or crewed voyages (for those who have not sailed before).

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.

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.

Thomas
France BareboatWe had an incredible trip and actually got engaged on the first night of our sail! We will certainly be back one day. Thank you for getting us ready for our charter. We were definitely beginners but he gave us a very thorough but very easy to follow training and it gave us a lot of confidence.
