Sailing “green” has never been easier. Dream Yacht Worldwide, a leading global sea-based vacation company, is committed to more tourism sustainability by offering travelers the opportunity to sail on a hybrid electric boat.

With various itineraries departing from the Côte d’Azur and the Italian or Spanish islands in the Mediterranean, green nautical tourism is now accessible to everyone, whether sailing as a couple, with friends or with family. Launched last summer following partnerships with manufacturers Fountaine-Pajot and Dufour, Dream Yacht Worldwide’s new electric fleet offers a more sustainable and eco-friendly sailing option for upscale nautical experiences.
Although Dream Yacht’s electric fleet is currently only available in the Mediterranean, the company has quickly seen demand for this type of rental become more popular. In addition to contributing to more sustainable and quieter navigation, renting electric boats is also more advantageous due to savings on fuel, and by sharing accommodations and cooking on board, renters will see additional savings.

There is no need to be an experienced sailor to enjoy trips aboard electric catamarans. Dream Yacht Worldwide offers boat rentals with a full crew (skipper and hostess) if needed. To hire a skipper for a week, plan on spending approximately $1,500. A hired skipper will assist with the best itinerary and safety regulations, and is best for an unforgettable sea vacation.
Here are some one-week destination ideas for five of the most beautiful Mediterranean escapes with electric boats:
Sailing on a comfortable catamaran, the Côte d’Azur offers lots of beaches and ports to explore. From Toulon to Nice, passing the port of Saint-Tropez and the turquoise waters of the Calanques of Marseille and Mourillon, the oldest seaside resort on the Côte d’Azur, numerous anchorages allow travelers to enjoy the Mediterranean. Prices start at $3,325 for one week, bareboat, (which means no hired skipper or hostess) for a vessel with five cabins.

In Olbia, located in northeast Sardinia, access to the La Maddalena Archipelago and the Costa Smeralda has never been easier. The beaches, scenic coves, and national park and marine reserve of the La Maddalena Archipelago appeal to everyone. From the lively port of Porto Cervo to Cannigione and its pastel buildings, Sardinia has some of the most beautiful ports in the Mediterranean. Prices start at $3,775 for one week, bareboat with five cabins.
Known for its archaeology, culture and cuisine, Naples, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers its share of nautical discoveries. Departing from a Naples marina, it’s possible to visit the islands of Capri, Procida, Ischia and Ponza. The Amalfi Coast, with its colorful villages perched on cliffs and thousand-year-old historical sites, also offers unforgettable stops. Prices for a week without a skipper start at $4,955.

In Sicily, Portorosa Marina Yachting is the ideal starting point to explore the different archipelagos bordering Sicily. A few nautical miles away, sailors can explore the Aeolian Islands to the east, including Lipari, Vulcano, Salina and Stromboli or, to the west, the Egadi Islands of Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo. Once the boat is moored, Sicilian villages like Capo Graziano, Cefalu and its vibrant capital Palermo are great to explore. For the more adventurous, hiking on volcanic lands is a must. Prices start at $3,300 for one week, bareboat for six cabins.
With your own hired boat, the Balearic Islands can be explored from stop to stop. Departing from a marina in Palma de Mallorca, the archipelago with 300 beaches offers a diversity of stops to satisfy all interests. Cala Mondrago Natural Park shelters lots of birds to enjoy, and Ibiza’s music-infused nightlife offers music, food and beverages from dusk to dawn. Prices start at $3,495 for one week, bareboat for six cabins.
