Dreaming On is a crewed Leopard 47 catamaran offering a very spacious interior with 3 queen size guest cabins, each with en suite bathrooms.
On deck, a comfortable cockpit for socializing, relaxing and dining, plus loads of deck and trampoline space for sunning and relaxing in our double hammock.
Dreaming On offers an array of water toys and water sports for your enjoyment. Her professional crew are ready to take you on a voyage of discovery in the beautiful unspoiled crystal clear waters around Belize. Join Dreaming On for a vacation of a lifetime. Children of all ages are welcome.
Dreaming On is based at Roberts Grove Marina, just 10 minutes from Placencia’s airport, and our offshore base is Funk Caye, 16 miles offshore in the fantastic turquoise blue waters close to the 165 mile-long main barrier reef.
Our cruising area in the southern cays is magical. Very few other boats around, many cays to choose from and a guaranteed caye to ourselves every night.
Snorkeling is phenomenal. Thousands of patch reefs in protected water inside the main barrier reef, and again, wherever we snorkel, we will be the only boat around and our guests, the only people in the water.
We have hundreds of wonderful opportunities for Kayak exploration around the cays and over crystal clear reefs. Same for Stand-Up Paddle Boarding. Imagine standing on a paddle board over a natural aquarium. Southern Belize has it all.
The offshore cays of Belize are mostly uninhabited, except for a possible seasonal fishing shack. However, there is a choice of interesting beach bars and eateries available in the cays as an occasional change from life on board Dreaming On.
Dreaming On provides quality drinking water made on board and tested for purity, avoiding disposable plastic water bottles and provides reusable water bottles. Dreaming on is also equipped with wind scoops to limit need for A/C, has solar panels, has two wind generators and purchases earth friendly paper products, biodegradable cleaning products, purchases local/organic produce when available and helps with reef and beach clean-up projects.

We found the crew on Dreaming On very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The boat was spotless, comfortable and well ventilated. The itinerary suited our needs well and food was OUTSTANDING! We were very pleased with Sailing Directions and Dreaming On.
Dan K, aboard Catamaran Dreaming On April 2014 sailing the British Virgin Islands
Geoff and Iza were absolutely perfect hosts. It was difficult not to think of them as family by the end of the first day.
We did not know what to think being first time sailors on an overnight trip. The boat was very clean and comfortable beyond our expectations.
Iza is an outstanding cook, Her meals were well thought out and perfect for the lifestyle we adopted aboard the boat. Light but delicious.
We loved the locations they took us. We asked to get a grand tour and we got one. Now we know where to focus on our next trip.
We were very happy with the way this whole trip was arranged and will be thinking of you first for our next trip like this.
This trip was, for us, a trip of a lifetime. Now we are thinking about doing it again.
Jeff S, aboard Catamaran Dreaming On February 2014 sailing the Virgin Islands
From the moment we met Geoff and Iza in St Thomas, our family were treated to a wonderful, exciting, and memorable adventure. Geoff and Iza are knowledgeable, kind, enthusiastic, patient, and in every way fantastic hosts. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared, the itinerary was set that met each of our wishes for the journey, the boat was well equipped with everything we needed, and best of all, we feel like we made great new friends. We can't recommend Dreaming On more highly.

BELIZE CHARTER ITINERARY
There are multiple itinerary options for charters commencing from The Placencia Resort and Marina. We show two examples below.
One itinerary heads north to one of the channels through the barrier reef, to take us to Turneffe Atoll and Lighthouse Reef.
The second itinerary takes us in a circle through the inner deep water channels, amongst the cays with some anchorages just inside the barrier reef as well as some sailing along the barrier reef.
The Belize Barrier Reef and the many cays inside and atolls outside are famous for their fantastic diving opportunities.
All of Dreaming On’s itineraries include great diving opportunities, so, on request, we can arrange Rendezvous Diving with local, professional dive organizations for any divers on board. Diving with a local dive organization, whose Dive Masters dive these waters every day, ensures that our guests enjoy the best possible diving experience.
1 ‐ ATOLL ITINERARY
Day 1 ‐ Depart The Placencia sailing North up the inner channel to Blue Ground Range. Then work our way east through patch reefs to anchor for the night just inside the barrier reef at South Water Cay. Great snorkeling and rendezvous diving opportunities here as well as just north at Tobacco Cay and near Carrie Bow Cay. This is all part of the Belize Marine Reserve. There are three restaurants on the cay. Guides can also be arranged for flats fishing.
Day 2 – Through the South Water Cut and set sail to Turneffe Atoll. There is good snorkeling here and exploring the waterways throughout Turneffe with a dinghy or kayak is very interesting.
Day 3 – 6 We continue on to Lighthouse Reef and drop anchor on the west side of Long Cay. Arriving at Lighthouse Reef early in the week will allow us to spend up to 3 days at this amazing atoll. Take advantage of the fabulous rendezvous diving opportunities along the Lighthouse Wall. Advance divers can arrange to dive the Blue Hole. Another option is to take a shore excursion to Halfmoon Cay to see the Bird Sanctuary. The wall at Halfmoon Cay also offers beautiful diving.
Day 7 ‐ A downwind sail from Lighthouse to the barrier reef. Anchor just inside the reef at Tobacco Cay.
Day 8 – Our final morning will be a sail back to The Placencia Marina.
2 ‐ INNER BARRIER REEF AND CAYES ITINERARY
Day 1 – Depart The Placencia Marina on a reach to Rendezvous Island. Great place to snorkel and anchor for the first night.
Day 2 – Sail up the inner channel to Blue Ground Range. Then work our way east through patch reefs to anchor for the night just inside the barrier reef at South Water Cay. Great snorkeling and rendezvous diving opportunities here as well as just north at Tobacco Cay and near Carrie Bow Cay. This is all part of the Belize Marine Reserve. There are three restaurants on the cay. Guides can also be arranged for flats fishing.
Day 3 – Through the cut in the barrier reef for a down wind sail along the reef to Gladden Cut. Fish along the way for a chance to catch Mahi Mahi, Wahoo or Tuna. Anchor inside the reef at Gladden Cut.
Day 4 ‐ Sail to Ranguana Cay where there is more snorkeling and an opportunity for a rendezvous dive.
Day 5 – A sail north on the inside of the reef will bring us to the Queen Cays (also known as Silk Cays). There are restaurants on both Ranguana Cay and Hatchet Cay (near the Queen Cays)
Day 6 – A day exploring the local cays with some more snorkeling.
Day 7 – After a morning snorkel or rendezvous dive we can sail to Placencia Village where guests can go ashore and experience a bit of village life. Placencia’s famous “Main Road” is a 3 foot wide concrete path meandering through the sand, passing lots of little local shops and restaurants . A few minutes spent on this “Road” and you will probably meet everyone in Placencia!
Day 8 – Our final morning involves a short sail back to The Placencia Marina.
