Crewtrips · M.Y. Dreamworld Ship-to-shore

Write to the boat

Dreamworld is a small motor yacht, and she’s often somewhere with no signal. So there’s no auto-reply here, and no “we answer within 24 hours” — there honestly couldn’t be. What we can promise: every message is read, and answered as soon as we next find signal.

Filed — thank you, friend.

Your message is in the log and on its way to crew@crewtrips.com. We’ll read it the next time we find signal — that might be tomorrow, it might be a week or two. Either way, it won’t be missed.

This grey copy is the one that stays aboard.

She’s near her home mooring just now — so likely a day or two, not the weeks it takes when she’s out of range.

Keeping her afloat

Crewtrips isn’t a business — it’s a non-profit project. Nobody’s drawing a wage. Every pound that comes aboard goes straight back into keeping an old motor yacht running.

Where it goes Running costs
Maintenance an old boat is never quite finished
Fuel she’s a motor yacht — miles cost diesel
Food a crew eats well or not at all
Port fees every harbour wants its dues

The £75–£100 a day to sail with us isn’t a charter price and it isn’t profit. It’s your share of what she costs to run that week — the four lines above, split between the crew aboard.

And it doesn’t have to be money.

Kit keeps her going just as much as cash does. If you’ve something aboard-worthy going spare — gear, tools, electronics, provisions — we’d genuinely love to hear about it. It’s the most useful thing anyone offers, and the one nobody thinks to.

Donations, sponsorship, a spare bit of kit — all of it starts with a message, not a checkout. There’s no “donate” button; we’d rather just talk.
