SeaDream Yacht Club will welcome its first new yacht in 25 years to the fleet in 2029. At approximately 495 feet in length, SeaDream III will welcome around 200 guests, cared for by a crew of nearly equal number.
“SeaDream III represents the next chapter for SeaDream,” said Atle Brynestad, founder and owner of SeaDream Yacht Club. “She will carry forward the same DNA as SeaDream I and SeaDream II: personalized service, exceptional cuisine, a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and the genuine feeling of being on your own yacht. With SeaDream III, the whole world becomes our destination.”
Guest accommodations will span five decks and include a greater selection of suites, Commodore staterooms, and connecting configurations, with private balconies across four decks.
The yacht’s design will place open-air living at its center, with expansive upper decks, a dedicated pool deck, and multiple indoor and al fresco spaces for dining, gathering, and relaxing. Three dedicated watersports marinas will provide direct access to the sea.
SeaDream III will also feature expanded spa, fitness, and wellness offerings.
“SeaDream has never been about size for its own sake,” Brynestad said. “Our focus is creating fantastic days and unforgettable experiences for every guest. SeaDream III gives us the opportunity to bring that experience to more places around the world.”
