DAYDREAM Yacht Description
-
Onboard scuba diving (air compressor):
Certified dives with gear onboard, including night dives discussed during the week. -
Watersports kit (wakeboard & adult skis):
Wakeboard, adult water skis, and towables keep the week active between anchorages. -
Shallow-draft access:
Low draft lets you tuck into shallow bays and coves closer to beaches.
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.

Reviews
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!
