WELCOME TO DREAM YACHT CHARTER
The Place to Find, Book & Sail Your Dream Yacht
Dream Yacht Charter is the largest privately owned charter company worldwide. It was founded by Loic Bonnet in 2000, who has been in the sailing industry for years before taking the helm of his own charter company.

Our customers can book bareboat, crewed or by the cabin charters in some of the world’s most beautiful cruising grounds, such as the Caribbean, Croatia, Ionian islands, as well as Tahiti and the Maldives. We’ve also developed interest in new sailing areas, such as New Caledonia and Cuba.

From Our Founder
Loic says: “Starting Dream Yacht Charters has been a privilege for me. There’s nothing like inspiring hundreds of thousands of sailors around the world to explore exciting new cruising grounds.
I feel strongly that sailing should be open to all and our by the cabin charters help non-sailors discover the freedom of sailing and being able to discover remote bays and islands.
“When I go sailing, I’ll always favor trying the local produce and cuisine as much as possible. It a gastronomical delight plotting an itinerary and trying to fit in as many tempting local restaurants and seafood as possible.”
