‘Dreamboat’ by name, dreamboat by nature.
This 11.5m limousine is an evolution of the client’s first limousine from Compass Tenders. Seeking to retain the features and styling they were familiar with and favoured, the length was extended by 0.6m and hull volume increased, resulting in greater headroom and seating capacity.

Cruising in good company, with Compass Tenders.

This 11m catamaran and 11.5m limousine are now in action alongside their mothership, the 111m Oceanco ‘Dreamboat’.

The limo is an evolution of the client’s first limousine from Compass, and retains the features and styling they favoured whilst hull volume was increased, resulting in greater headroom and seating capacity.

Size, comfort, and versatility were top of the agenda for the catamaran. Working to the dimensions of the pre-designed garage space, this is the first Compass cat tender to be stowed aboard the main superyacht (rather than aboard a shadow/support yacht). The multifunctional platform is perfect for beach landings, water sports, and smooth owner/guest transfers.

Both original Compass creations, these tenders showcase our signature attention to detail, innovative thinking, and outstanding build quality.
