Sail Belize - Charter Catamaran Dreaming On

After several years of chartering in the Virgin Islands, catamaran Dreaming On is moving to Belize.

Discover Belize - Charter Yacht Catamaran Dreaming On - Sailing Vacations in Belize

Their plan is to leave the BVI in the first week of June 2015, make their way through The Turks & Caicos and Bahamas, and then arrive in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in mid-July.  They will head down to the Florida Keys and towards Belize, by way of the Yucatan Channel, to arrive in Belize, weather permitting, in early August.

Dreaming On's Belize charter calendar is open from 1st November 2015 and they already have their first Belize charter booking for the week of New Year 2015/2016, plus options on a couple of other weeks in 2016.

As soon as Geoff and Iza arrive in August, they will be out there searching for those special places that offer outstanding scenery and snorkeling.  They promise to take photos both above and under the water and, of course, fly their Phantom drone for some outstanding aerial footage.  We will keep you posted – stay tuned and follow our blog.


Where is Belize? Click map to enlarge


Why Belize?

Belize offers beautiful, quiet, uncrowded cruising grounds, with amazing snorkeling and rendezvous diving opportunities and no Christmas winds!

In place of the imposing volcanic islands of the BVI, the cayes in Belize are small, low, coral formations mostly enclosed within the protection of the 190 mile long barrier reef.


Getting to Belize

There are regular scheduled flights into Belize City from Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Miami, with United, American Airways and Delta, then a short local flight from Belize City to Placencia.

The airport at Placencia is being expanded to international status and we are advised that Jet Blue and Spirit will be flying into Placencia Airport by the end of 2015. We will keep you updated on this as information becomes available.


Belize Base

Dreaming On's base will be at The Placencia Resort Marina, at Stann Creek, just north of Placencia. The Placencia is the perfect location to enable us to offer a wide choice of attractive itineraries to suit all tastes and charters of varying lengths.

Charter Yacht PROMENADE's Annual Cabin Cruise, 2016 Feb 7/8-18

The charter yacht Promenade, a 65-foot Nigel Irens-designed trimaran, has scheduled a great 10/11-night sailing in the British Virgin Islands for next February 2016.

This charter week is available for individual cabin bookings and is a wonderful opportunity for two people to sail aboard Promenade without having to get a large group of friends together for a private charter.

 Promenade is a large yacht. Here are 7 guests sitting on half of the cabin top.
There is also the other side, the forward trampolines, the full-width cockpit and the aft deck... Plus the large body of water Promenade is floating in.


Promenade has been offering this annual all-inclusive, cabin-only charter for many years at a prime time slot in the British Virgin Islands and usually sells out quite quickly! Promenade is fully equipped and has ample charter toys and activities available on board this large spacious yacht.


DATES: Sunday, February 14 to Thursday, February 25, 2016
  • SLEEP ABOARD: Guests are welcome to a free "sleep aboard" on the evening of Sunday, February 14th (Valentine's Day!).
  • CABIN CRUISE: The 10-night sailing will start on the morning of February 15th and finish by noon on February 25th. 

PRICE: $6000/cabin, double occupancy (i.e. $3000/person). If you are a single person, you may book a cabin to yourself, or you have the option of booking a cabin with two twin beds and share the cabin with another person for half the cabin price ($3000 for single).
 
INCLUDES:
  • This will be fully crewed and inclusive of all meals and standard ship's bar (including one dive/day).

NOT INCLUDED:
  • 1-2 meals off the yacht at guest's expense (one lunch and one dinner ashore, plus you are responsible for your dinner ashore on the sleep aboard night). 
  • Personal expenses such as getting to and from the yacht from the airport 
  • Anything you choose to purchase on land. 
  • BC & Regulator rental if needed for SCUBA at $200/diver for the entire charter. 
  • Crew Gratuity: typically 15-20% of charter fee adjusted up and down as you see fit

ABOUT PROMENADE

The charter yacht Promenade is a large 65-foot trimaran with a beam (width) of 35 feet, and a crew of 3. Promenade is fully air conditioned and accommodates up to 10 guests. There are five guest cabins: 2 kings and 3 queens. The king cabins may also be made up as two singles, if requested. The two forward queen cabins each have ensuite heads with showers, while the aft queen and the 2 king/twin cabins share two heads with showers.

Charter Yacht Promenade - Up to 10 guests, 5 cabins - 65x35-foot trimaran

Promenade has a 15-foot dinghy with 50HP motor, waterskis for adults and kids, kneeboard, wakeboard, tube, standup paddleboard (SUP), 2-person kayak, floating chairs & loungers, snorkeling gear, fishing equipment, yoga on the beach, 40" flatscreen TV, large video library, iPod with over 5000 songs, air compressor to fill scuba tanks. Lots of toys. Internet where available.


Promenade has a dive instructor and one dive/day is included. BC and regulators may be rented for $200/diver for the week or you may bring your own.


Promenade is one of the very few crewed charter yachts in the BVI that has a commercial fishing license for the yacht. They carry ballyhoo and lures for trolling, a casting net for live bait, frozen squid for bottom fishing, trolling rods, bottom fishing/spinning rods, gaff hook, landing net, various lures, bottom tackle and hand lines, as well as rod holders on the aft deck.

Promenade is one of our favorite yachts in the charter fleet. They do a great job and have many repeat bookings.
