In 2012 Bernhard van Oranje made his childhood dream come true by starting his own boat brand. He founded Waterdream with the purpose of taking aquatic life to the next level.
In our dream, boats are both seaworthy and fast. A dream is also about the looks; a wow factor that you feel in your lower abdomen. It's the tension in the line of a boat that makes or cracks the design.
Aquatic life re-imagined
The only thing we changed was everything. The whole experience is multifunctional and well thought out. Whether you feel like cruising down the Dutch canals or you feel like cruising the open sea, every detail reflects functionality and comfort. Waterdream builds premium hand made boats, seaworthy yachts and sloops that are highly customizable.
"In every boat we unite extremes without compromise. You can cruise the canals with twenty guests one day and go water skiing behind the boat the next. This boat is a chameleon on water."
— Bernhard Van Oranje, Founder
Handled with care
Building boats is never a battle, but the launch of every new ship feels like a victory.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Drawing the Dream
It's the tension in the line of a boat that makes or cracks the design. Breaking that line is an absolute mortal sin. Therefore no unnecessary fuss in or on the hull. And never, never, never windows. Such an unsightly flat surface in a subtly sloping hull is absolutely unmentionable.
Only timeless, classic lines and preferably unsprayed aluminium. Puristic and understated. This is how Waterdream sees a dream boat in front of them and so they build every model this way. Make as crazy by hand as you want. If desired, Waterdream will be happy to help you put a little extra on top of it. Every boat is built to order. A carbon steering wheel? A bar? A jacuzzi? You name it. It's your dream. And in a dream, anything goes.
