1.
What is SeaDream Corporate
Incentives?
SeaDream
Yacht Club is the innovative new
yachting venture by Norwegian
entrepreneur Atle Brynestad who founded
the highly acclaimed Seabourn Cruise
Line and Larry Pimentel, who was
President of Seabourn under Brynestad
and later President and CEO of the
merged companies Cunard-Seabourn.
Pimentel is Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of SeaDream Yacht Club and a
co-owner. Brynestad and Pimentel have
brought into SeaDream a small group of
colleagues with vast industry
experience. The company now operates the
two ultra-luxury mega yachts, SeaDream I
and SeaDream II. They were originally
introduced as the Sea Goddess twins and
were the prototypes of the luxury,
intimate yachting experience.
2. Why is SeaDream called
a Yacht Club?
Yachting
features an open and unstructured
ambience and provides guests the ability
to fulfill their own dreams at their own
pace. No clocks, no crowds, no lines, no
stress. The key word for the SeaDream
yachting experience is "unstructured."
It's all about personal choice. Think of
it as a free-form holiday. Corporate
charter yacht SeaDream is a
yacht company, not a cruise line.
3. What are some of the
highlights of the SeaDream yachting
experience?
Flexible Schedules and Itineraries -
Although the SeaDream yachts depart
their first port and arrive at their
last port as scheduled, arrivals and
departures at intermediate ports are not
necessarily cast in stone. Captains have
the authority to adjust for local
opportunities such as making an
unscheduled call at a small port to
visit a local fish market or to remain
longer in a secluded bay so guests can
enjoy a few more hours of water sports.
Overnighting in Key Ports - Cruise
ships usually arrive at ports of call in
the early morning and depart in the
evening the same day. Corporate charter
yacht SeaDream
overnights at such ports as Monte Carlo
and St. Tropez in the Mediterranean
because the action in those ports
dont get started until late in the
evening.
Raiding the Pantry - SeaDream guests
dine in an indoor Dining Salon, in an
outdoor Topside Restaurant or from Room
Service. They can also raid the pantry
24-hours a day for cookies and milk or
make themselves their own customized
sandwich---just as they can at home.

Officers and Staff Lead Guests on
personal off-ship Experiences -
Officers and staff frequently lead
guests to favorite sites since they know
these sailing regions intimately.
No Tux
for Guys, No Gala Gowns for Gals -
the SeaDream yachting experience is a
casual affair. There is no formal dress
code.
