DREAM

Dream — Oceanis 46.1, Greece Some yachts announce themselves; this one simply gets on with it. *Dream* is a 2023-built Oceanis 46.1, a production sailing yacht of the kind that has quietly become the backbone of Greek island cruising — clean lines, a genuinely usable deck plan, and the sort of predictable, forgiving behaviour under sail that makes a week in the Cyclades a pleasure rather than a project. Below, the layout runs to five cabins for up to ten guests: four cabins each with a double bed, plus a fifth with a single berth. It is a configuration that suits two families sharing, or a group of friends who would rather not draw straws for the good cabin. The practical details matter more than they might seem on a sailing yacht of this size. Air conditioning keeps the interior civil when the August sun sits directly overhead in a windless bay. The generator means that comfort doesn't depend on shore power, and the watermaker means fresh water doesn't dictate your itinerary — you can stay out among the smaller anchorages instead of running back to a marina tap. A stainless steel and teak gangway handles the daily reality of Mediterranean stern-to mooring with a little more grace than most. Your crew handles the sailing, the provisioning and the route planning, adjusting the week to the Aegean's moods — the meltemi has opinions, and knowing where to be when it blows is exactly what experience buys you. For guests who want the Greek islands at sailing pace, under canvas rather than under engine, *Dream* is an unusually well-equipped way to do it.
