In a realm where superyachts increasingly blur the line between sculpture and engineering, Oceanco’s newly delivered DreAMBoat asserts itself with uncommon authority. At 111 meters and an immense 4,550GT, the vessel—known during development as Project Y726—does more than join the upper echelon of Oceanco’s fleet. It marks a triumph of collaboration, speed, and precision rarely witnessed at this scale.
Commissioned in 2022 by an owner already familiar with Oceanco’s craftsmanship, DreAMBoat represents the second yacht of the same name built for the same visionary. That continuity proved catalytic. Conversations began in November 2021; by February 2022, contracts were signed. Less than four years later, an engineering marvel emerged—delivered approximately 18 months ahead of a typical build of comparable magnitude.
The secret? Extreme alignment. Naval architecture from Lateral, the sculptural exterior language of Espen Øino, the warm minimalism of Mark Berryman, and deeply engaged owner representation from Falcon Yacht Management and Wright Maritime Group all operated in seamless unison. As Oceanco CEO Marcel Onkenhout notes, great yachts come from great relationships—and DreAMBoat embodies that credo.
The result is a yacht conceived not simply as a vessel, but as a lifestyle sanctuary. Accommodations for 28 guests and 34 crew ensure ease of movement and intimacy alike. Exterior highlights include a winter garden, open-air cinema, covered cocktail terrace and a private owner’s deck that feels equal parts retreat and observatory. The aft deck transforms into a playground with its pool, jacuzzi, and a state-of-the-art golf simulator discreetly integrated on the sun deck.
Inside, Mark Berryman’s interiors favor light and equilibrium. Vast glass expanses dissolve boundaries between indoor and sea. A cinema lounge, gym, spa complex, and beach club opening onto the swim platform reinforce the yacht’s ethos of restorative living.
Yet DreAMBoat also carries a deeper mission. Driven by an owner committed to sustainability, the project catalyzed the first full Life Cycle Assessment tool in yachting—developed with Royal Haskoning—allowing data-driven choices to reduce environmental impact. From a battery pack for peak shaving to exquisitely crafted nature-based finishes, sustainability becomes not an add-on, but an architectural principle.
With DreAMBoat, Oceanco hasn’t just delivered a yacht. It has delivered a statement of what is possible when vision, pace, and purpose converge on the open sea.
