Dream Yacht unveils exciting new initiatives at Cannes Yachting Festival this week.
In the Mediterranean alone, Dream Yacht’s occupancy rates rose by six per cent this year, while French Polynesia is forecasting a +15 percent growth for the next season, proving Dream Yacht’s offering and appeal to travellers all around the globe.
The company is introducing reimagined ownership programs, upgrading fleet, and launching adventurous new itineraries. With a strong family of boat owners, operations in the widest network of global destinations, and welcoming over 130,000 clients each year, Dream Yacht continues to make yacht ownership and sailing holidays more accessible and more enjoyable than ever before.
Founded in 2000 by Loïc Bonnet, the company also celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, an important milestone that highlights the strength of its pioneering model and its ability to evolve with the expectations of both travellers and investors.
Additions to the boat models available
In 2025, many new yacht models were introduced to current and future yacht owners in the Dream Yacht fleet, including the Bali 5.2, Bali 5.8, Bali 4.8, Bali 5.4, Fountaine Pajot 41 and 44, Excess 13, Lagoon 43, 51, 55 and 60, Oceanis 47 and 52, as well as the Dufour 48 and 54.
A modernised fleet for cabin cruises
The first Lagoon 620 (Dream Martinique) has been fully refitted under Groupe Beneteau’s Lagoon NEO program. This major upgrade extended the vessel’s lifespan, boosted comfort, and integrated new technical and environmental features. As a sustainable highlight, the refit program aims to reduce waste and improve efficiency. The catamaran will now sail as a cabin cruise in the Abacos and Corsica, offering a premium experience in two iconic destinations.
Three new adventurous itineraries for cabin cruises
- Abacos Dream Premium (January 2026): discover the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, with hidden beaches and pristine lagoons.
- Koh Samui Dream Premium (May 2026): explore the Gulf of Thailand, combining paradise islands with local culture.
- Kornati Sail Share (2026 season): following a successful pilot, this program expands to Croatia’s Kornati archipelago, a true paradise for sailing lovers.
Ownership solutions designed for investors
The boating world attracts both savvy investors seeking flexibility and reliable returns, and passionate sailors looking for regular access to the sea. Dream Yacht addresses this dual demand with renewed programs that combine investment opportunities and sailing freedom. By owning a yacht and placing it in the fleet, owners can benefit from attractive returns while enjoying up to 12 weeks of sailing per year around the world, depending on the program chosen:
- Dream Performance Worldwide – A program that combines smart investment with the joy of sailing. Owners receive two guaranteed weeks of sailing in high season each year, on an equivalent yacht, in any of Dream Yacht’s wide range of popular destinations, an industry first. They also enjoy an improved revenue share while Dream Yacht manages every aspect of their boat (marketing, bookings, maintenance).
- Dream Guarantee – A flexible program tailored to owners’ needs. They can choose the contract length (from 42 up to 66 months) and sail up to 12 weeks per year worldwide. The program ensures a fixed monthly income while allowing owners to adjust the balance between personal use and financial return. It offers absolute peace of mind, with Dream Yacht handling the management of the yacht.
Both programs give owners confidence, while making sailing opportunities more accessible and revenue opportunities more attractive.
Customer experience at the heart of growth
Beyond yachts and destinations, Dream Yacht puts traveler satisfaction at the center of its strategy. The customer journey has been redesigned to be simpler, smoother, and more immersive:
- Digital tools: online check-in and check-out, digital briefings available anywhere, and real-time updates via the customer app.
- Upgraded onboard services: more personalized support, greater comfort, and improved amenities.
- Continuous feedback: the Net Promoter Score (NPS) now tracks customer satisfaction to guide service improvements.
These changes are already showing results. The Martinique base received a 2025 TripAdvisor Award, recognising the quality of service offered.
Convincing Charter performance
Each year, more than 130,000 clients choose Dream Yacht to discover the world by the sea. These results confirm the vitality of the company 25 years after the foundation and its leading role in shaping the future of nautical tourism.
