FAQ
See all our FAQsWhat is a bareboat yacht charter?
A bareboat yacht charter is where you hire the boat for you and your guests and intend to sail yourself or hire one of our skippers to sail it for you

What licenses do I need to hire a yacht and sail myself?
The skipper of a yacht has primary responsibility for the safety of the crew and yacht at all times. Many destinations require just relevant experience demonstrated by a sailing resume.
To charter in the Mediterranean, it is mandatory that you hold a sailing license recognized by the local port authorities for bareboat charters in Italy, Greece, Croatia, Spain, Malta, Montenegro and Turkey. Other destinations that require a license include Madagascar, Seychelles, Thailand, Brazil and Sweden. For Belize, the port authority will issue a certificate of competency and an application is made on arrival.
You must take your proof of competency and original certificate with you on your charter. We advise you to contact our team about your qualifications and destination requirements before booking.
By accepting the yacht contract you are confirming that you and/or members of your crew are capable and competent to sail the yacht in the conditions and cruising area of the charter. We reserve the right not to hand over the yacht if, after inspection, it is the opinion that the charterer is not, or may not be competent to be in charge of the vessel.
What is a by the cabin yacht charter?
You can book a cabin on our yacht charter packages, which offer memorable experiences carefully selected by our destination specialists with photo-worthy highlights, exciting excursions and delicious cuisine. Our aim is to provide you with a hassle-free, carefully curated adventure of a lifetime where you don’t need any sailing experience, just a love of exploration!
Experience a destination from the water and wake up to a new view every day. Our crews look after guests while they relax in spacious communal areas or in their comfortable, double cabin with a private bathroom. Our fleet of modern catamarans typically have six cabins that accommodate 12 guests and cruise durations range from three to 11 days, depending on the destination. We offer an intimate experience, where everyone has a love of travel in common.
Our cruises are modern, floating resorts offering the world’s largest swimming pool. We have +15 cruise destinations worldwide including the British Virgin Islands, Martinique, St. Martin and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean, as well as the Bahamas. If you want to experience an exotic location, try the Seychelles, Tahiti, Thailand, and the Maldives, or head to the Mediterranean’s Corsica and Balearic Islands. We recently added new routes to Guadeloupe, Maldives (Baa and Raa atolls) and the Grenadines.
Each destination has a set itinerary and a set menu prepared by your expert onboard chef (included meals and drinks vary depending on location – we can advise). Your professional captain will sail you to each destination highlight, sharing their local knowledge with you as you go.
What is the difference between a by the cabin charter and all-inclusive crewed charter?
With cabin you do not need to book the whole boat exclusively and you can relax as the itinerary is taken care of. You also don’t need to worry about provisioning as there is a set menu, which is included. You’ll be traveling with like-minded guests.
How flexible is the itinerary for an all-inclusive by the cabin cruise/charter?
Our yacht itineraries are designed by our destination experts and are set to showcase the best of the destination’s highlights. They are set and not flexible, even if you book all the cabins.

Guadeloupe BareboatThe marina itself is a perfect base with super facilities! The Lagoon 42 was in good condition and the skipper was fantastic and knew the area very well.
Jonathan
Croatia SkipperedWhat an EXCELLENT experience. We just returned from a week long charter with skipper from Corfu, sailing around the beautiful islands of the Ionian Sea. Paxos, Antipaxos and the old town of Corfu were beautiful and the secluded bays we got to visit thanks to our local skipper Nicholas were simply stunning. Fly and Flops was yesterday – we will only charter with Dream Yacht for the foreseeable future.

British Virgin Islands BareboatThe new boat was in perfect condition and best condition for exploring bays and islands. I could never have imagined that this could be so much fun and enjoyable and we are already looking forward to the next upcoming trip in the Ionian Sea.er.
Vytautas
Scandinavia BareboatBaja is now my favorite place. There was something for everyone: sailing under northerly winds with mostly calm evenings, snorkeling, fishing, secluded sandy beaches, pelican feedings, being greeted by barking sea lions, and exploring the geology of Ispiritu Santo Island. Dream Yacht Base La Paz provided competent professional support with a well-equipped and maintained boat. We were wonderfully cooked by an on-board chef arranged with Dream Yacht, which meant more free time for all of us. An unforgettable vacation and adventure connected with nature.
