A Dream come true

“It is allowing us to re-evaluate the CNN brand, which is an integral part of the Baglietto Group and devote it to hugely significant special and unique projects such as this one for Floating Life.

“We are extremely satisfied to be celebrating 20 years in business with this new collaboration which reflects very well on us and also provides still further confirmation of our presence on the market,” Floating Life CEO Andrea Pezzini continued.

“It is something of a finish line for us because it is the result of previous very fruitful collaborations. At the same time, however, it is also a starting point because it means we share the same vision of the future.”

Like the FL38, FL42 and FL47 from the fully customisable FL Anniversary Series presented at the last Monaco Yacht Show, DREAM 42 features the technical platform designed by Andrea Pezzini in collaboration with Satura Studio, and ZeroTredici for hulls.

DREAM 42 is a 42-metre displacement yacht with an ocean-going range. She has all the right characteristics to become the first yacht in the new Fractional Ownership or Time Sharing program.

Floating Life have already developed in-depth knowledge of such programs thanks to 16 years of managing the Ocean yachts.

Like the FL Anniversary Series craft, DREAM 42 boasts an under lower deck where the engine room is located, freeing up space in guest quarters on the lower deck and creating a corridor that directly connects it with the beach area.

Connecting the two areas also makes it easier for the crew to provide flawless service.

Moving the location of the engine room has shifted all the weight to a lower level in the hull which improves stability. It’s also allowed the addition of an adjacent technical space which can be kitted out as a laundry or storage room.

Lastly, as is the case with all models in the FL series, DREAM 42 is designed to deliver a 5,000 nautical mile range, which means she will effortlessly cruise across the Atlantic.

“We called this yacht Dream because we believe it’s every owner’s dream come true,” said Pezzini.

“If you compare Dream to Pearl and Emerald from the Ocean series (launched in 2010 and designed by Lord Norman Foster), you will see a whole slew of improvements to the way the liveable space is used and how privacy is guaranteed.

“This is because Dream 42 is the fruit of a constant focus on onboard life, the requirements and all the details that make up what owners want.”

Another unusual feature of DREAM 42 is that she has no less than six separate exterior areas, both forward and aft, on different decks.

This means that even with all 12 guests aboard, six couples would each have their own completely private space entirely to themselves. The layout spans seven cabins, designed to offer versatile spaces and optimum flexibility in terms of layout; a real advantage for the charter market.

Currently, three owners have signed up for the Fractional Ownership program offered aboard DREAM 42, but additional contracts are under negotiation with more clients.

Work is scheduled to start on DREAM 42 in December 2022. Quotations for the builds of three further boats in the FL Anniversary series were also included in the agreements.
