Yacht Description
Wide cat, easy living. DAYDREAM is a 62ft Leopard catamaran that sleeps 8 guests in 4 queen cabins, each with its own en-suite. Big beam means you can spread out and still stay in the same conversation.
Deck flow that works. A massive salon with dining for 8, plus a bar setup with sink, icemaker, and fridge, keeps lunch and happy hour simple. Sliding glass pass-thru to the cockpit. No traffic jam.
Water time, on repeat. Open access to the swim platform makes swimming and boarding toys painless, and the shallow draft (1.4m/4'7") helps with getting into skinny water. The foredeck adds trampolines with back rests for the post-swim reset.
Toys and a proper refresh. Expect wakeboard, adult waterskis, kneeboard, towables, paddleboards, snorkelling and dive gear, plus fishing equipment. Built in 2002 and refit in 2022, with refit work including new hull paint, new mainsail and jib, rebuilt Yanmar engines, and a rebuilt Northern Lights genset.

DAYDREAM
November 2024
We’re two couples in our late 60’s - early 70’s and have been diving together since the 70’s. In the past, we have made multiple live aboard dive drips. This time we picked St. Croix to do more wall diving. We chose the 61’ Day Dream catamaran with a crew of three - Captain Rusty, Chef Neely and Divemaster Lassa. We wanted the ability to dive 3 dives a day - a compressor was a must. Unfortunately the brand new compressor had to be sent back for repairs. We were assured there would be enough tanks for 3 dives a day and they delivered.
We arrived on St. Croix midafternoon and took an open air taxi to the marina - a nice intro to St. Croix. We enjoyed a delicious snack on board while the crew took care of the luggage and set up our dive gear. We set sail for six days of fun. The diving was very enjoyable. We did have a couple days of chop, but a 15’ drop line took care of our two queasy divers. There was abundant marine life - sharks, turtles, rays and the wall dives were great. Chef Neely served delicious meals and rose to the challenge of meeting our varied requests. We dined inside with A/C or outside with beautiful views. We celebrated a birthday with a very memorable Danish birthday song. Our crew was very attentive to our needs and along with their extensive knowledge of the marine and island life made our trip memorable. Looking forward to next year!

DAYDREAM
August 2024
The Daydream was an unforgettable experience! Captain Rusty and his crew took good care of us. We had breakfast with a breathtaking view every single day! We had so much fun snorkeling around the Indians and Monkey Point. It a great way to learn about the sea life and experience it! PLUS Captain Rusty is a PHD Marine biologist who has a vast knowledge of the marine life. So if you want to also learn about marine biology, you will have the best professor on board! Our trip was a 8 days and 7 nights trip, where we got to visit Tortola, The Baths, Jost Von Dyke, Norman Island, Willy Ts, Marina Cay, Sabarock, and Scrub Island, just to name a few. Also, not only will the crew accommodate the groups’s preferences but they are more than willing to customize your excursion depending where you want to go too. So if you are looking for a getaway with friends and/or planning a memorable family vacation-- the Daydream is your best call! We cant wait to plan our next Daydream adventure. Thanks CREW!

July 2024
A week spent on the Day Dream will change vacationing forever. If you want to spend time snorkeling, swimming, island hopping, eating delicious food, and visiting the Baths at Virgin Gorda this catamaran is the perfect trip for you. Plenty of space in the rooms and on deck for a party of ten. Rusty and the crew took excellent care of us and it is a trip I will never forget. Can’t wait to book again.
