DREAM CHASER

A Custom Line 94 with real charter mileage behind her — the kind of yacht that has learned, season after season, exactly how to look after eight guests. Her 2022 refit brought her back into service sharp and current, and the Ferretti pedigree shows in the way she balances volume with genuinely liveable proportions. Accommodation is arranged across four cabins for eight guests. The master takes a king-size bed, two further cabins are laid out with queen-size beds, and the fourth is fitted with twin beds — a configuration that works as easily for two couples travelling together as for a family or a small corporate group. Aft, the beach club folds down to the water, turning the stern into the natural gathering point of the day: swimming, coffee at anchor, the last hour of light before dinner. Above and forward, the layout offers a genuine choice of settings — shaded interior salon, open-air decks, sun or shelter depending on the hour. Meals are prepared on board by the chef and built around your preferences rather than a fixed menu, whether that means a long lunch at anchor or a properly served dinner under way. The cruising ground is one of the most distinctive in the world. New York's skyline from the water, the Statue of Liberty at close quarters, then north up the Hudson past historic architecture along the banks — and, in the right weeks of the year, the full turn of the autumn foliage on either side of the river. New England opens up from there. The professional crew handles the whole of it discreetly: itinerary, service, timing. That is what a seasoned charter yacht really offers — not novelty, but the confidence that everything on board has been done before, and done well.
