DreAMboat – what superyachts dreams are made of!
It takes one rightful owner, two extraordinary designers and eighteen months of delivery time! The Oceanco‘s 90-meter motor yacht DreAMboat is named DreAMboat, carrying the owner’s initials AM. With interest in building an innovative yacht combined with the novelty of a first-time collaboration between two of the most renowned yacht designers in the superyacht world— Espen Øino International for the exterior and Terence Disdale Design for the interior – the DreAMboat, truly is what superyachts dreams are made of!

Oceanco’s DreAMboat features classic elegant and engaging exterior lines that would sustain a timeless appeal and found that the interior layout was perfectly suited to his intended use. The generous overhangs from the superstructure and cut-outs in the bulwarks lend a traditional yet muscular appearance. “At the outset, the exterior design was intended to be understated and timeless,” says exterior designer Espen Øino, “working closely with Oceanco, all the primary surfaces and details were created keeping this in mind. The result is one I think we all can identify with. At the launch, she came out of the facilities looking strong and proud with a lot of presence. The superyacht boasts a whole carbon canopy mast house and mast, which forms an integral part of the overall design.

DreAMboat has been built in harmony to accommodate family life. The design emphasis is on large windows that flood the interior with daylight and offer unspoiled views from the inside out. Outside spaces feature a large swimming pool 6m long X 3.1m wide X 1.44m deep on the main aft deck, a spa on the bridge deck aft with a custom-built hydro/massage bath, a private jacuzzi is located on the owner’s deck. The superyacht is a large variety of toys, tenders and audio/video appliances that appeal to all ages, with a large selection of water toys, including a custom-built dive board.

Dan Jackson, the owner’s representative, remarked: “From the first time the owner saw the boat, still in pink faring compound in the outfitting facility and met all involved in the project, he knew that the combination of Espen’s timeless exterior, Terence Disdale’s elegant and calming interior and Oceanco’s ability to deliver the boat on time and to the quality he required, was just right for him. So, after some minor enhancements made to suit him and his family, we got right into it and here we are, 18 months later, proud to be delivering him his DreAMboat”. The large saloons, multiple dining areas, along with intimate lounging settings offer myriad possibilities for large and small groups to congregate, making DreAMboat ideal for a multigenerational group.

Terence Disdale has created an interior that incorporates bespoke surfaces, natural wood, limestone floors, semi-precious stone vanities, parchment, leather and mother of pearl. The effect is elegant without being overdone. The fixed and loose furniture and the upholstery and cushions all provide an inviting and harmonious ensemble that complements the yacht’s exterior design very well.

DreAMboat is an example of proven reliable technology, combined with state-of-the-art AV/IT infrastructure, including a complex IP ship’s computer operating system. She has been designed for efficiency on many fronts, such as installing a heat recovery system for potable water. Moreover, she has achieved the ECO-IHM (inventory of hazardous materials) notation. This notation demonstrates an overall commitment to operating the vessel on an environmentally sound basis beyond statutory compliance. This beautiful Steel Hull and Aluminium superstructure are powered by twin MTU 4,828hp / 3,600kW MTU 20V 4000.
“Delivering DreAMboat is the ultimate milestone in Oceanco’s ethos of creating the Owners Perfect Yacht,” says Roderick Gort, Project Director at Oceanco.
