Urs Rothacher had the idea to create this program while on a sabbatical with his wife and 3 boys: " Originally, we were looking for a sailboat to leave classically from Europe, but finally we found the boat of our dreams, an Outremer 5X, in New Caledonia. Quickly, our year of travel took shape in the Pacific. "
euros his return, this sailor approached Dream Yacht Charter to propose to a charter company to launch a long-term charter offer. "Indeed, in the success of a sabbatical year on a sailboat, the preparation of the boat is essential. Buying a sailboat for 6 to 9 months is often too expensive, requires time to prepare and does not always guarantee a successful trip".
With his PowerPoint under his arm, Urs went to meet Loïc Bonnet, director of Dream Yacht Charter to explain his idea. The idea is to rent for a long period equipped sailing boats, ready to leave with the assistance of the rental bases present in the world.
Thus was born Dream Yacht Sabbatical, a catamaran charter program (10 are planned for 2019) departing from the company's various bases around the world. For the launch, five fully customizable destinations are offered, including the Mediterranean, a transatlantic crossing, the Caribbean, the South Pacific and Asia.
In addition to benefiting from a boat prepared for long term cruising, skippers benefit from assistance. This is not like a classic charter contract where a simple phone call triggers the arrival of a technician, but rather the benefit of remote assistance for the maintenance and upkeep of the yacht.
