A few positives stand out:
DYC had a driver to meet us at Beef Island , dropped some of us off at the base, and continued with others to the grocery store and waited for them.
Driver assisted with last minute dinner plans- very helpful. (it was new years eve)
We arrived to the base at 4:45pm on new year's eve. Although I had called ahead the day before and told my reservations agent we were arriving late on NYE, I was hoping to go through briefing that night so we could leave early the next morning. Likely an unexpected long shot. To my surprise, the operations manager / briefing agent agreed to stay late and do the briefing. The channel to the marina was narrow and skinny, but Teka drove the out to show the approach tricks. Teka was pleasant and thorough, and very accommodating. Outstanding .
We didn't depart at first light, and had forgotten to gather snorkeling equip. the night before. That was the only negative, there weren't many snorkeling masks to choose from, but Teka was able to find some that worked fine. Plenty of fins.
The was quite new. 42. Excellent condition. , AC. was lacking, but there was enough with the two outside drawers. proved essential. We were low on , but able to make a half a tank at ball. Little gas was used. Drinking glasses were small in size, but we all brought insulated tumblers. Plenty of dishes and pans, and even a jigger and a shaker, and a blender. Coffee maker was small, but when asked, Teka looked on other and found a larger one for us.
Hodges Creek does have available, and that was very helpful in returning the boat and not needing to get at another marina. Gas attendant was very pleasant and helpful. Instead of waiting for staff to come and move it from gas to slip, I backed it in myself, likely bypassing a 30 minute wait. Debriefing went smoothly, and we hopped on the waiting shuttle to Road Town.
DYC was extremely friendly, helpful, and worked to satisfy my needs and requests. No problems.

Boat: 1998 Catalina 320 | at trustpilot.com and other sites: I personally some to Dream Yacht during the pandemic. Not a life-changing amount of . But just enough to irritate me. Older threads on this site confirm I was not the only one at the time. A glowing review of a company on your first post raises the reasonable suspicion that you are working for them rather than providing an unbiased account of your experience. Sorry, but that's just how it is. There are many online reputation companies that perform this to businesses that suffer from poor dealings with customers. If you had a great trip, well, great. You apparently got lucky. |

in eight years. Once with Moorings, twice with DYC, and once though an agent who sent me to DYC. All different locations. All trips have been successful with no nightmares. I've booked newer when possible, and not old fleet boats, which I think is the reason for few mechanical issues. If you drive around any island you'll notice in the auto body shops, grocery stores stores that there are supply chain issues. If you've waited for service you'll know things move slower. There is plenty of potential for error, and I've experienced some issues, but overall I've had 4/4 excellent trips. | |

, , , , and elsewhere. We chartered in late Jan (2024) from Dream Yacht Charters out of Hodges Creek Marina near Fat Hog Bay on Tortola. On the one hand, sailing in the BVIs is always wonderful, so I'm not doing a hand-wringing "our trip was ruined" post. On the other hand ... The older boats at Dream Yachts are very poorly maintained. We faced myriad problems, including an ancient repeatedly patched and that ripped on the first windy day, and a hole in the floor caused by one of the checkout crew, that was never fixed. Multiple systems were leaking into the or broken, including the A/C (leaking at the thru-hull!) and the seawater . The fresh system broke halfway into the trip. Most alarming was the failure of one of the macerator pumps -- they checked to see if "we'd clogged it". The "technician" disappeared into the head with a wad of paper in his hand, closed the door behind him so I couldn't see, and then announced that the pump output pipe (that I had previously checked) was clogged! A complete scam/ripoff. The on our boat were old and patched, the V-berth mattress and all the mold- and mildew-stained, and everything generally tired. The galley was awful, with two wine glasses (for max pax of 8) and zero tumblers. We had to ask for a pot big enough to cook pasta, and for a colander. The at the marina didn't (we didn't stay at elsewhere) -- which threatened to spoil our newly-purchased provisions. Of folks we met from other boats, one had a problem with their , and I heard of many other problems. Bottom line -- they don't maintain their boats. I'll never charter from Dream Yacht again (at least in the BVIs). | |

Boat: Precision 23 | on Saturday. We arrived late after the base was closed, so we did have a little trouble finding the boat as there was no list on the door as I was told there would be. I was hesitant to use DYC after all the bad negative , but I would not have any reservations about chartering with the BVI base again. We had a Bali 4.4, which was great for the group of people we had, but it does not sail well at all. Everything on the boat worked great, AC, Genset, , etc. The only hiccup we had was when we arrived at the boat they had the running instead of hooking up to , so we only had 80% fuel. Before departure the next morning, they moved the boat to the fuel and topped it off and we were gone. This was a minor delay, so no real inconvenience. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any additional questions. |
