Dreams Catamaran · Barbados Reserve

Bridgetown, Barbados · Sailing since 2021

Turtles by eleven.
Rum by noon.

A day sailing the west coast of Barbados on a 38-foot catamaran. You swim with hawksbill turtles over the Carlisle Bay shipwrecks, eat a Bajan table at anchor off Holetown, and the bar never closes. We collect you, and we bring you back.

Reserve now, settle later

Hold the date today. The balance is due closer to the morning you sail.

Booked with the crew

The people who reply to you are the people who will meet you on the dock. No agency in between.

Two sailings a day

Morning water, or evening light.

The same coastline is a different country at ten in the morning and at quarter to three. Both sailings anchor over the Carlisle Bay wrecks and swim with the turtles. The only question is which light you want.

Private charter

Twelve seats, and you decide who fills them.

Weddings, birthdays, a family that has finally got everyone on the same island. You set the hours, the route and the table; we bring the captain, the crew and the bar. Catering to order.

How a day runs

Four stops, no rush.

We collect you, put you in the water twice, feed you properly, and return you with salt still in your hair. This is the morning sailing; the sunset cruise runs the same coast in the other light.

Stop 01 · 10 min

Bridgetown

Boarding

Down the Wharf Road to the boardwalk beside the bridge control room. White hulls, blue sails, Dreams on the sail bag. You meet the crew, you are shown aboard, and the first drink is poured.

Stop 02 · 50 min

Carlisle Bay

Wrecks & turtles

A short run to the bay, then a guided swim over the wrecks with hawksbill and green turtles feeding above them. Two of the crew are in the water with you throughout.

Stop 03 · 2 hours

Holetown

Lunch & second swim

The island slides past to starboard while your glass stays full. We anchor off Holetown, lay the table, and there is a second, slower swim for anyone who wants it.

Stop 04 · 2 hours

Bridgetown

The long way back

The last stretch belongs to no schedule at all — the deck, the sun, whatever is left in the glass. Your driver is on the dock when we tie up.

In the price

Nothing to buy on board.

The bar

We ask what you drink before you come aboard, and it is waiting when you arrive. Nothing is counted, and there is nothing to settle at the end of the day.

A Bajan table

Fresh fish, chicken and local sides, laid out and served at anchor. Tell us in advance what you do not eat and it is dealt with quietly.

Everything for the water

Masks, snorkels, floats and jackets aboard for every guest, in every size. If you have never snorkelled, someone stays with you. Fishing on request.

Three crew, twelve guests

A licensed captain and two crew — one adult aboard looking after every four guests. They guide each anchorage and stay in the water beside you.

Dreams, a 38ft Fountaine Pajot Athena catamaran, tied up at the Bridgetown careenage

The catamaran

Dreams.

A Fountaine Pajot Athena 38, and a sailing catamaran in the proper sense — she goes under canvas, not just under engine. Two hulls, a shaded cockpit, a trampoline forward that every guest ends up on, and two heads so nobody waits. Built to hold thirty; at twelve, there is a seat wherever you want one and room to lie flat in the sun.

A magical day swimming with turtles, fish and sting rays

Captain Mick and his crew were friendly and helpful, the music enhanced the atmosphere, the drinks were tasty and available upon request, and the food was delicious. We saw tons of colorful fish, sting rays and turtles along with several shipwrecks.

Highlight of the trip

Mick & the crew were SO welcoming, helpful, and felt more like friends than crew. Playlist was bumpin'. Drinks were flowing. Food was amazing. My 5yo son was begging to do this again "tomorrow"!
