What’s on this page
No sailing experience, no problem!
If you’ve always wanted to try a sailing vacation but lack sailing experience, or even the time to plan, an Easy Crewed Charter is the ideal option for you.
Step on board a private yacht with up to ten family members or friends and experience a fantastic week of sailing from our bases in Greece, Croatia, the British Virgin Islands, Martinique, Tahiti, or the Seychelles. On board, you’ll find comfortable private cabins with ensuite baths, plus spacious areas for dining and lounging.
Everything’s taken care of
You’ll have everything you need for the ready-made escape of your dreams, including an experienced skipper and an optional host/ess with full or half board meals. We even include snorkeling equipment and a paddle board for you to have fun in the water.
Your skipper will whisk you away to the best hidden coves, islands and seaside villages, while on land you’ll be free to hire a car or scooter to explore the best sites of your destination. Whatever your perfect itinerary is, your skipper will be happy to accommodate you.
Enjoy more time for rest and relaxation and add a host/ess with half board meals (full board in Martinique, Tahiti & Seychelles) to your booking! Your yacht will be stocked with fresh local food items and the hostess will prepare breakfast and a light lunch for your group each day. In the evenings, enjoy time ashore sampling delicious local fare at restaurants or tavernas.

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.

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.
