Sailing Her Appears Effortless

Dulcinea is the first collaboration between Bill Dixon and Vaudrey Miller Yachts of New Zealand.  Their brief; to produce a family world cruising yacht with pace, excellent accommodation and good living space above and below decks that could also be enjoyed by charter guests.

The yacht is available from any major port in the Caribbean or the Mediterranean and the charter fee includes airport pickup and delivery.

Our vision is to provide our guests with a friendly welcoming atmosphere on board and allow them to take away memories of their yachting experience they will cherish all of their lives.

Whether new to yachting or old hands, we will find sheltered waters for those who desire a gentle introduction, or for those who like to feel the wind and sea, we can cruise at a livelier pace.

There is a generous sized saloon and galley facilities to enable the chef to produce cuisine to a level matching that found ashore and her ample fridge and freezer capacity means that a cool drink is always to hand.

For added comfort the yacht is fully air-conditioned so after a wonderful day's sail in areas renowned for their calm warm breezes, it is possible to anchor in a quiet bay and perhaps take a refreshing dip before dinner is served.

She can accommodate up to 6 people in 3 private cabins, 
each with their own en-suite bathroom facilities.

Each cabin, as well as the saloon, is equipped with a TV and radio/CD player, with an extension in the cockpit. There is also a generous DVD/video library.

Pulman upper berths in the froward cabin help accommodate groups
with singles or children.

A key feature is her super cockpit with twin wheels and ample seating.

Her in-boom furling and electrical furling makes sailing her appear effortless.
