The world's leading yacht charter company, Dream Yacht Charter has made a significant investment in its fleet this year with more to come for 2020.

Dream Yacht Charter's fleet increased by 228 yachts in 2019, with 59 due for delivery in Q4 alone including 44 destined for the company's Caribbean and Nassau bases. The new Caribbean fleet includes five Sun Loft 47 monocats, designed by Jeanneau and architect Philippe Briand to attract a younger customer age profile to sailing vacations.

The company has already committed to 195 yachts for delivery in 2020, of which 112 yachts will be delivered in the first half of 2020. The Mediterranean will benefit from an additional 83 yachts in the first six months of next year, 25 of which will be Sun Loft 47s.

The new fleet includes five power catamarans (36ft-47ft) from Aquila, Bali, Nautitech and Fountaine Pajot, in addition to the latest model sailboats including Bali 5.4 and 4.5, Dufour 390GL and 430GL, Lagoon 46, Nautitech 46, Astrea 42 and Oceanis 51.1.

Loïc Bonnet, founder and CEO of Dream Yacht Charter, said: "The investment made in Dream Yacht Charter's fleet in 2019/2020 is worth $165 million. The Caribbean and Mediterranean remain key areas to our growth and we have significantly increased our fleets in the regions. In the Mediterranean, we will have an additional 35 catamarans and 48 monohulls for customers to choose from. We've already scheduled 195 yachts for delivery in 2020 with even more planned.

"Exotic locations are also important and we've added to our fleets in Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. We recognize the importance of our customers' experience and a large proportion of our boats are equipped with watermakers, genset and air-conditioning to make sailing vacations as comfortable as possible."

We remain committed to providing our customers with the widest choice of exciting destinations. The latest additions to our destination portfolio means Dream Yacht Charter now offers sailing vacations from 64 bases worldwide.
