This new Hanse is right at the forefront of yacht design, combining the most modern of technologies currently available with age old techniques, painstakingly learnt over hundreds of years.

DREAM, a brand new Luxury Charter Yacht from Feadship!

With economic instability in Europe, it may come as a surprise that luxury yacht manufacturers are building some of the largest yachts in history. Project DREAM is the latest concept from the renowned Feadship brand, which breaks two records for being the largest yacht to come out of their base in Holland, as well as the largest build project to come out of the country. At 99m, project DREAM will rival the best yachts from rival Lürssen and her creators have described as being both ‘sleek and quick’, as well as featuring ‘exquisite’ exterior detailing, which is bound to turn heads in the most prestigious yachting ports.

Project DREAM features exterior styling and interior design by Andrew Winch Designs, with Feadship remaining in charge of the naval architecture. She is relatively lightweight for her size and can reach a maximum speed of 24 knots, thanks to her hull form and quadruple engines. DREAM is a unique addition to Feadship’s super yacht fleet, taking inspiration from previous models and incorporating the very latest technology and fixtures and fittings.
