Derived from the Japanese word for delicate, Bimyou aims to reinterpret the traditional outdoor spaces of a yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288848/image/large-a88d31cdf14b3ea491e5d645baf88d25.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288848">Bimyou uses height to make each of her interior and exterior areas feel unique. “She is immersed and dominant in nature and the sea, without visual obstacles to give guests a unique experience,” commented <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5825" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Satura Studio (Company)">Satura Studio</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288850/image/large-760ee374e87ea9ac644afb770a10e2ec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288850">“The exterior design was conceived with the idea of sculpting a volume enclosed between pure, fluid and continuous lines, inspired by movement, wind and speed.” A large window illuminates her interior spaces, including her full-beam master stateroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288852/image/large-b0ad741b2bbbe8b0c171ebdf771cc431.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288852">The upper deck of Bimyou extends from stern to bow without interruption, allowing guests to fully experience being surrounded by water. At her stern there are sunbeds and sofas designed to separate the deck and provide privacy to guests. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288847/image/large-9336ec816f81919ae4bea0e5721d0429.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288847">Also on this deck is an alfresco lounge area protected on three sides, with a height of 2.9-metres and direct access to the glass staircase that connects all decks. Thanks to its elevated position, it offers a direct view to the stern.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288851/image/large-8b80658addb8dd8872d784ba4521ab9f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288851">The beach club and platform of Bimyou are positioned to allow them to be used even during navigation. Once in the anchorage, the platform is able to lower down into the water with three long that lead from the platform to an alfresco area, with an infinity pool. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288849/image/large-01387e429438e7789f085dd07cfe2773.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288849">“The infinity pool offers an uninterrupted view of the horizon and a unique sense of continuity with the sea,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5825" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Satura Studio (Company)">Satura Studio</a>.

Moving the engine room has the added benefit of improved stability, as all the weight is now on the lower level of the hull.&nbsp;Another unique feature of Dream 42 is that she has an impressive six separate outdoor areas, both forward and aft and on different decks. As the yacht Dream 42 can welcome as many as 12 guests, it means that if six couples were onboard they are each graced with privacy – an ideal feature if she was placed on the charter market. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/231497/image/large-5477ff34f1e3915f56b1fc397b60cf59.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/231497">“We call this yacht Dream 42 because we believe it’s every owner’s dream come true,” Pezzini continued. “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 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.”&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1087" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Floating Life Charter & Brokerage Ltd (Company)">Floating Life</a> has had three owners sign up for the Fraction Ownership programme offered onboard the yacht Dream 42 already, and contracts are under negotiations with further clients.&nbsp;

The vessel underwent an extensive overhaul by the Lusben team, who notably extended her overall length from the original 42.2-metres, with a 2.4-metre extension at her stern, and a 2.2-metre extension at her bow. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193878/image/large-221b917679f20c984c244486fcc8f1dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193878">The motor yacht, originally commissioned by the late Andrea Merloni of Fineldo and Indesit, was due to undergo the refit prior to her owner's death. After the incident, Merloni’s family moved to go forward with the intended modifications out of respect for her owner. Her previous owner was a major contributor to the works, collaborating with Andrea Pezzini, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1087" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Floating Life (Company)">Floating Life</a> and the naval architect Mauro Sculli. The work has entirely amended the interior spaces of the motor yacht, which now has an increased top speed of 17 knots, from the original 15,8 knots, offered by new generators. Her consumption has also been reduced by 20%. In addition to the structural changes, her interiors have been refurbished, two lifts have been added and an emergency staircase from the owners suite has been installed. She now features darker interior styling and a profusion of teak has been added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/193881/image/large-4fb53234c6db64eb67662d022ffc0047.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/193881">Her external living areas were designed by her late owner, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6034" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Audace42.8m (140'5&quot;)Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)2019">Audace</a> can accommodate large parties on her deck, these details have remained unchanged.

In early May, the yacht will sail directly to the Balearic Islands, Spain.Prior to her overhaul, the motor yacht featured a curved bow. She also had a higher transom, without the swim platform that she now features.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/99530/image/large-934dfc8dd332043ac36d88d5f73fb736.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/99530">
