Alan at the helm of DreamCatcher

Alan and Michelle

Dream Sailing operates luxury sailing yachts for crewed charter.

Our crewed sailing yachts offer a warm welcome and the opportunity to taste the glamorous and exciting world of yachting on an affordable scale. Established in 2003 by Alan and Michelle, owners of DreamCatcher, Dream Sailing now manages a fleet of top quality yachts available for charter in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Matt and Trish are now in their fourth year with us and joined the management team two years ago.

Alan and Michelle are widely travelled and have been yacht owners for many years. They both quit senior management careers in London in order to change their lifestyle and pursue their passion for the outdoor life. Alan is an RYA Yachtmaster and has extensive sailing experience which includes crossing the Southern Ocean from Sydney to Cape Town.

Matt and Trish are a very experienced yacht crew: both are RYA Yachtmasters and they are hugely popular hosts. Matt is also a qualified engineer and Trish is a professionally trained and highly accomplished cook. Before joining Dream Sailing they were in charge of water sports on Necker Island, Richard Branson’s luxury resort in the British Virgin Islands.

A passion for sailing and exceptional hospitality.

Matt and Trish

All of our crew members are experienced, professional sailors with a real passion for their chosen career. In addition to their sailing qualifications, they also receive extensive hospitality training from Dream Sailing, including cookery, food and drink service and wine appreciation, as well as yacht maintenance.

Whilst Dream Sailing manages our fleet's charter activities, our other company Dream Yachts supplies, commissions and equips them, as well as providing all of the spare parts and accessories required to ensure they remain in top condition.

Our philosophy is simple: if we exceed our guests’ expectations they will return again and again. Everything we do is aimed at ensuring that a holiday aboard any of our yachts will be your best ever.
