Aqualodge
If you’ve booked a bareboat yacht charter, by the cabin holiday or crewed charter, an Aqualodge is a great way to extend your trip and keep a close connection to the sea while you roam ashore.

What is an Aqualodge?
Our innovative, comfortable and environmentally friendly accommodation offers plenty of space and everything you need to enjoy exploring the beautiful surroundings with friends and family.
Book an Aqualodge if you want to relax near the water but aren’t ready for a sailing holiday.
Our Aqualodges offer modern, comfortable facilities and the wonder of being able to easily take a dip or snorkel with tropical fish from your deck. You do not need any sailing experience as our Aqualodges are moored and do not sail.
From the comfort of the sofa or while you cook, watch the fish swim below you through the glass floor section. Take in the impressive view with rooftop sunbathing, or enjoy swimming and snorkelling.
Up to four people can be accommodated in two double bedrooms and you can prepare your own meals from a fully equipped kitchen. If you want to hop ashore, then you can use the included dinghy.
Aqualodge destinations
Our Aqualodges are based in Martinique and Guadeloupe, two sophisticated destinations which showcase the best of French heritage with fine dining and bustling cultural activities across the arts. From Martinique, you can explore many other nearby Caribbean islands, including Bequia, Moustique, Union and the famed Tobago Cays.

Croatia BareboatThe marina itself is a perfect starting point with great facilities! The Lagoon 42 was in good condition and the skipper was amazing and very knowledgeable of the area.”
Jonathan
Spain SkipperedWhat an AMAZING experience. We’ve just returned from a week long skippered charter from Corfu, sailing around the beautiful islands of the Ionian. Paxos, Antipaxos and Corfu Old Town were beautiful and the secluded bays we had the pleasure of visiting thanks to our local skipper, Nicholas, were simply overwhelming. Fly and flops are no longer for us – we’ll be chartering with DYC for the foreseeable future.
David
Greece SkipperedOur group of 10 had an AMAZING time in French Polynesia from May 21-28, 2022! The food was amazing, our captain and chef, husband and wife: Henry and Mehee (sp), were incredible and the whole experience on board was a dream! We can’t wait to book another trip through DYC

Tahiti Crewed PremiumDYC provided a great sailing experience for my extended family on 2 monos out of Scrub Island. The boats were in great shape and preformed perfectly and the staff were friendly and helpful. Having worked for a number of charter companies over the years DYC is one of the best.
Charlie
British Virgin Islands BareboatBaja is my favorite place now. There was something for everyone: sailed under northerlies with mostly calm evenings, snorkeled, fished, bummed it on the sandy beaches, enchanted by pelicans feeding, greeted by the barking sea lions and explored the Ispiritu Santo island geology. DYC La Paz base provided competent professional support with a well provisioned and maintained boat. We were nourished well by an onboard cook arranged with DYC freeing us all for more play. A vacation and an adventure connected with nature.

France BareboatWe had an incredible trip and actually got engaged on the first night of our sail! We will certainly be back one day. Thank you for getting us ready for our charter. We were definitely beginners but he gave us a very thorough but very easy to follow training and it gave us a lot of confidence.
