Dream yacht Worldwide is launching Platinum, a crewed cruising programme offering a level of service and personalisation never before seen from the world's leading yacht charter company.

The large catamarans involved are manned by a permanent, multi-talented crew.

The Platinum programme covers a selection of large catamarans (Sunreef 60, Lagoon 620, Lagoon 62, Bali 5.4, Bali 4.8) based in the US Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. The programme, designed in partnership with Paradise Yacht Management, aims to deliver an extremely personalised, high quality service to families or groups wishing to privatise a catamaran and benefit from a level of service unheard of on this size of boat.

The crews are fixed and permanently manned. Skipper and hostess know each other and know their boat particularly well, and keep it in perfect condition.

The skippers are professionals and the hostesses all have training or long experience in cooking in the hotel industry.

Fans can find out about the crew profiles before the cruise and get in touch with them to discuss all aspects of their stay on board.

The itinerary can be discussed at home with the skipper, as can the menus, both in terms of type (gluten-free, vegan, etc.) and composition, examples of which are given on the sales sheets for these cruises.

This level of highly personalised service, a true luxury hotel service, is unheard of in this category of ships and is similar to that found on board the very largest luxury yachts, where personalisation is omnipresent.
