Dream Yacht Charter Launches Cabin Cruise Itinerary in the Abacos on Lagoon 62

The 62-foot Lagoon catamaran Dream Martinique is now the vessel at the heart of Dream Yacht Charter's newest itinerary: a Saturday-to-Saturday Cabin Cruise threading through the Abacos in the northern Bahamas, launched in January and already drawing attention as one of the more accessible ways to experience this stretch of the Caribbean.

Travel writer Kimberley Lovato joined a group of eight fellow sailors aboard Dream Martinique for the full seven-day run, filing an on-the-water account for Hotels Above Par on March 12, 2026. Her description of the itinerary captures what makes the Abacos routing distinctive: "This brand-new Dream Yacht Cabin Cruise itinerary, launched in January, showcases sandy cays, Crayola-colored settlements, and glassy turquoise coves." The professional crew handles everything operational. As Lovato put it, "With a professional skipper handling navigation, docking, and anchoring, and a hostess preparing meals, the hardest decision of the day becomes where to watch the sunset. It's yachting made easy, and it's quietly addictive."

The Cabin Cruise format itself is central to what Dream Yacht Charter is offering here. Rather than chartering the entire vessel, guests reserve individual en-suite cabins and share the catamaran's dining and lounge spaces with fellow travelers while following the set Abacos itinerary. The company frames it as a sail-share: "Think of it as a sail-share for people who want the romance of sailing the seven seas without the commitment or price tag of chartering an entire vessel." No sailing experience is required, and the format is explicitly designed for "whether you're a seasoned sailor or someone who still mixes up port and starboard."

Dream Yacht Charter has the scale to back up that accessibility pitch. Founded in 2000 in the Seychelles by Loïc Bonnet, a former European CEO at The Moorings who started his career at Stardust, the company launched with just six boats and a straightforward goal: make quality sailing vacations reachable for more types of travelers. Twenty-five years later, the fleet stands at roughly 830 sailing yachts, catamarans, and powerboats spread across more than 35 destinations in 22 countries, including the British Virgin Islands, Tahiti, the Seychelles, and now the Abacos itinerary on Dream Martinique.

The Abacos routing has also earned outside recognition. Dream Yacht Charter noted that the Cabin Cruise was selected by boutique family travel agency Ciao Bambino! for inclusion in its roundup of "7 Luxury Escapes Perfect for Milestone Celebrations," a nod the company called meaningful for a product built around removing the traditional barriers to crewed yacht travel. The Cabin Cruise product page on Dream Yacht Charter's site lists it under "Low package rates for island-hopping aboard a sailing yacht," though specific per-cabin pricing for the Abacos itinerary was not disclosed.

For catamaran sailors curious about the Lagoon 62 configuration specifically, Dream Martinique represents the high-volume-cruiser end of what Dream Yacht Charter deploys on its hosted itineraries: a platform large enough to accommodate a group comfortably while the professional skipper manages the passages between anchorages. The Abacos, with their protected waters and concentration of cays and settlements, suit the format well, and the Saturday-to-Saturday structure keeps the logistics straightforward for travelers booking from abroad.
