The Mediterranean and the Caribbean remain the obvious, go-to answers for charter aficionados… and yet, some of the most captivating sailing lies elsewhere. One of those regions is the North-East coast of the United States - an area of coastline, contrasts, and constant surprises.
From the dramatic coastline of Maine to the elegant mansions of Nantucket, the historic harbors of Newport, and the peaceful waters of Martha’s Vineyard, New England offers an exceptional playground for catamaran cruising. In this region where maritime tradition remains ever-present, sailing aboard a large multihull allows you to explore the coast in unparalleled comfort. This is precisely what Ritzy Yachts offers with Le Rêve, a Lagoon 620 specially optimized for luxury cruising. And whether your agenda is Maine lobster, Connecticut’s storied ports, or the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard (where Jaws was filmed back in 1974) there’s no shortage of compelling stops along the way.
Blending contemporary style, generous open areas, and attentive, personalized service, Le Rêve feels like a floating boutique hotel - yet with the privacy and freedom of a private yacht. It works equally well for a week with the family, a romantic escape, or time together with friends. With a platform measuring 62 feet (19 m) by 33 feet (10 m), Le Rêve sits firmly in the class of large cruising catamarans that can deliver genuine “live-aboard” comfort at sea. Even today, 17 years after the model was launched, it continues to strike a strong balance between performance, stability, and livability. Step aboard and you immediately notice the volume. The layout provides open, reassuring spaces. Moving around is easy, there are multiple places to unwind, and the connection between indoor and outdoor living is thoughtfully planned. The aft cockpit is the social hub. Sheltered from sun and wind, it offers a generous dining table and a wide sofa - ideal for sharing meals while the sea rolls past. A short stroll brings you to the platform for swimming or water-based activities. Forward, the catamaran continues the onboard “living” with a second lounge area often appreciated at anchor. Trampoline nets, sunbathing cushions, and comfortable seating make it easy to enjoy the scenery - or catch the Maine coastline at sunset. And for a truly panoramic outlook, the elevated flybridge delivers spectacular views over the surrounding waters. A suspended terrace above the sea that frequently becomes the guests’ favorite spot during their cruise.
Inside, Le Rêve is all about warmth and contemporary calm. Large glazing brings in abundant natural light while keeping a clear sense of the outside world. The main salon pairs elegance with everyday ease: a roomy sofa, an indoor table, and a fully equipped open-plan galley where the chef can prepare fresh creations. Light tones, modern wood finishes, and premium fabrics create a refined (yet never heavy) atmosphere. Sleeping arrangements are equally comfortable. Up to six guests can be accommodated in three spacious double cabins, each with its own private bathroom. Storage is plentiful, and the headroom throughout exceeds six and half feet (two meters), reinforcing that ...
