As we settle into a brand new decade, there are so many new things we all pledge to try, from doing a parachute jump to exploring more of the world. And who are we to stop you! On the contrary…we’re here to say DO IT! Explore the world, discover new places, meet new people…and why not do it on a yacht? As the world’s leading charter company offering sailing holidays in 50+ destinations around the globe, we know how hard it can be to choose your next destination, so to help, we’ve pulled together our top yacht charter destinations.
Yacht charters in The Seychelles
Where it all began….our first base in The Seychelles opened in 2000 and still remains one of our most popular charter destinations. One of the most idyllic locations on the earth, The Seychelles are made up of 115 quaint islands, and our Seychelles by the cabin charter itineraries will take you to some of the popular inner islands including Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue and some of the less-visited, remote Outer Islands, just beyond the Seychelles. Relax on the beaches, swim amongst the corals, snorkel at the Ile Coco Marine National Park and meet giant Aldabra tortoises at the Curieuse Marine National Park.
“The Seychelles is very special as it is still very unspoilt, most of the famous beaches have nothing on them, the snorkelling is first class and the scenery is dramatic with the turquoise sea, lush tropical forests and the amazing granite boulders.” – Sue, Dream Yacht Charter sales manager

Yacht charters in Grenada
One of our top yacht charter destinations to visit in 2020, Grenada has so much to offer, from abundant wildlife to Instagram ready beaches and is the perfect location for a bareboat or by the cabin yacht charter.
Visit the island’s chocolate plantation, swim amongst an underwater village of magnificent sculptures, meet the mona monkeys at the Grand Etang National Park and Reserve and witness exhilarating sailing during Grenada Sailing Week.
“Grenada is an ideal destination as you can get there with a direct flight from the UK, it has decent winds for sailing, lots of history on the island and it is very traditionally Caribbean. The beaches are golden and secluded with palm trees dotted around. Known as the spice island it has beautiful lush green mountains and gorgeous red bougainvillea flowers everywhere.” – Lorraine, Dream Yacht Charter sales agent.

Yacht charters in Mallorca
Whether you enjoy lounging on one of 300 golden beaches, taking in the local history at archaeological ruins, hiking through nature reserves or partying the night away, a sailing holiday in the Balearic Island of Mallorca has something just for you.
Just a short flight from the UK, choose from a bareboat or by the cabin yacht charter where you can swim in the turquoise waters at Cala Pi, sail the stunning coastline of Cala Figuera and walk along the labyrinthine streets of Palma.
“My favourite European destination – there’s so much more to Mallorca than many people realise. Head west from Dream’s base in Palma to explore the rugged coastline of the Tramuntana Mountains with it’s hidden bays, rocky coves and beautiful villages perched on the top of the cliffs. Head east through the Bay of Palma to reach the sand dunes of Es Trenc or the Cabrera National Park “ – Amanda, Dream Yacht Charter PR and Communications Manager
