Dream Yacht Charter, the world’s leading yacht charter company, continues its strategy of diversifying its services in 2019 by introducing Dream Boat Club in North America in partnership with leading boat manufacturers Beneteau and Zodiac Nautic. The North American Dream Boat Club is based on the earlier success of its European club model.
 
Launched at the Miami Boat Show on February 15, 2019, The Dream Boat Club is a reflection of the growing sharing economy that exists today. Members select a usage package and have access to a new and well-equipped fleet provided by our industry partners without the bother of maintenance costs and marina fees.
 
Jean-Francois Lair, President of Beneteau America, says of the partnership, “We are very excited to work closely with Dream Boat Club on this project. The Boat club offer is in high demand. It is a different way of boating. Also, it will offer the possibility to our clients to test a boat before deciding to purchase it. With three different ranges, the Beneteau offer of outboard boats is particularly adapted for club members.”

For his part, Dominique Heber-Suffrin, President of Zodiac Nautic stressed: “The speed with which Dream Yacht Charter has become a world leader in yachting is impressive. Its expertise and ambition make it a partner of choice for the distribution of Zodiac boats around the world. We are honored to be able to contribute to this ambitious project.”
 
Loïc Bonnet, founder of Dream Yacht Charter, said: “This partnership is another step in bringing the experience of boating to all with its affordable and hassle-free programs.”
