Dream Charters

It's just a boat... or so we think...
Not quite the same. Most of us have travelled on boats here at some point or another.. either via the 'tambang' or water taxis or maybe the Labuan/Temburong boats... hence, so what new about this new boat going up and down the Brunei River?
Well, for one.. travelling by wind is a totally different experience. There are no vibrations and no engine noise.. the journey is smooth and the gentle breeze blowing across your face as you travel at an angle to the wind is plain and simply put.. relaxing... imagine hundreds of years ago, as Antonio Pigefetta, on his ride as he sailed into the Brunei Town area..

It doesnt just stop there. Dream Charters, a joint venture between local partner, Bohari and German/Irish couple, Peter and Adine, fills a gap that has until recently only been available to the super rich and affluent. The Trio met a few years ago during a sailing competition along our coast and recently brainstormed and implemented a uniquely relaxing holiday/tour package for both locals and international tourists alike. The packages range from BN$60 to $400+ for single to groups of eight for trips lasting 2 hrs or more. They provide a variety of packages to suit the various moods and getaway from day sails to business meetings and fine dining. What caught my attention was the wedding packages that had a honeymoon package and a photography package that were both reasonable in price and exciting in possibilities.

The video doesnt really do this justice. I was informed a day before about this trip and allocated a time that wasnt my ideal choice if I had the pick. We also had only about an hour of sail time in which I had to single handedly do both interviews and filming. Have a look and find out for yourself.

For further information on this, contact Bohari on 8722347. You wont be disappointed. Highly Recommended.
