Fantastic cruise from St Martin around Anguilla and St Barts. The "Charter Partner" is Moorings, which I didn't recognize when making the booking, and this was our first time chartering with them. Appreciated the professional service and rapid technical support (repair) when there was an issue with the generator onboard. To be honest we've never had the luxury of a boat generator so this was all a bonus to us! Only thing I'd do differently next time is vessel selection. We had a Beneteau 46.3, which I'm now aware puts space and comfort as higher priority than sail handling. All lines were righed to a single pair of electric winches and the jib is self tacking, so there wasn't much available to do in terms of sail trim. Upwind performance is not good and we motored more than we otherwise would have. The boat was listed as having a gennaker for downwind and it did not. All and all though an amazing experience and Moorings is a good company to charter from. Will do it again!

The experiance ways great. We have owned our own catamaran in the past. So the navigation part was easy. But it's always different when you're going to a different country and a different body of waters. The crew was very helpful in giving guidance and direction and the best places to go. We were a family of 11 and the boat had lots of space maybe lacking a little bit in cabinets for food. But we all managed. Thank you.

The highlight of our trip! Will definitely be renting the boat from Emmanuel again next time we are in town! Him and his wife were so kind. Exploring all the islands around SXM on our own was so cool.

We highly recommend Pascal and his Jeanneau 53 for a memorable sailing experience. Pascal went out of his way to accommodate our family, especially my wife, who has MS and struggles with mobility. He made sure she could board easily and access the WC when needed, which made the trip much more enjoyable for us all. The sail to a beautiful anchorage was fantastic, and Pascal even took us on a dinghy ride to a nearby beach. His friendly conversation, despite some language challenges, added to the experience. The Jeanneau 53 is a spacious, well-maintained boat, and the charter price is excellent for a vessel of its size. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would gladly sail with Pascal again!

Everyone at the base was super friendly and helpful. Our original boat had an issue but we were upgraded to a newer boat. Would highly recommend using this base.

We rented a Dufour 46. It was exchanged for a Beneteau 51 with our approval a week before the charter. Then the Beneteau had an issue with its generator, and we were offered a Bali 46 Cat. I didn’t really want the cat because I prefer to sail monos, but everything in life is not perfect. Mechanical things break and you have to roll with it. Dream substituted a new, more expensive boat and as things turned out, it suited us much better than a mono might have: we had two crew members sick enough to go to the hospital. Having the comfortable cat with AC allowed us to rest much better than we would have otherwise. It also sailed well enough. Benoit, the manager was accommodating and gracious. Our generator had an issue and he sent a mechanic to fix it. Again one could not ask for better. All staff at Dream, from the ladies in the office were friendly and polite. We left with a positive impression of Dream Yacht Charter. They are a credit to their industry and their professions.

The boat was clean and meet our expectations. Everything was working. The team was helpful and nice. We asked for more blankets, bathroom baskets and snorkeling gear and they got everything for us. We had all basics for cooking and enough dishes for 8. Pillows were really bad. If you are picky, bring your own. It was really worth it for the price. We had a lot of fun! Will book again.
