Few people realize that many of the yachts in the big charter company's fleets (Moorings, SunSail, Dream Yacht) are actually owned by private individuals like us.

In these hectic times, many sailors find they just don't have the time to properly maintain a boat of their own — not to mention the cost of buying and berthing one. As a result, the international charter industry continues to flourish, and yacht ownership through one of these programs continues to rise.
We are really happy to share the story of our different path to yacht ownership and happy to answer any questions you might have on Dream Yacht Charter's ownership programs. There are several ways to 'buy in' and we can certainly offer our experiences & advice and point you in the direction of Christine at Dream Yacht Charter who helped us with our decision.
