Dream Catcher is an exceptionally well-equipped and thoughtfully upgraded 2009 Fountaine Pajot Cumberland 46 power catamaran that has already completed the Great Loop and cruised the Hudson and through the full Erie Canal from Albany to Buffalo. Then Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Lake Superior. In 2025 cruised to Montreal, Lake Champlain and New England up to Maine. Dream Catcher is fully prepared to do it all again — or head south to the Bahamas and Caribbean. This proven cruising platform combines long-range efficiency, outstanding stability, and true liveaboard comfort with one of the most desirable upgrades a buyer can ask for: a complete repower with new Volvo Penta engines and transmissions installed in December 2022 and still under factory warranty.
Powering Dream Catcher are twin Volvo Penta D4-320 diesels (320HP each) with approximately 1,875 hours. Along with the repower came all-new engine electronics, fly-by-wire controls, displays, and transmissions, transforming the performance, reliability, and serviceability of this vessel. The owner further enhanced Dream Catcher’s independence and cruising capability by installing a massive lithium house battery bank and a 2,600-watt solar array, allowing extended time at anchor without the need for a generator.
Inside, Dream Catcher offers a highly desirable owner’s suite in the port hull with private head, plus two guest staterooms and two additional heads in the starboard hull, making her ideal for cruising couples, families, or guests. The bright, open salon features a lower helm, portside galley, and starboard dinette with excellent visibility and ventilation throughout.
A recent survey (February 2026) describes Dream Catcher as being in above-average condition and ready for her intended service. With strong cruising performance, outstanding systems, and an owner who has invested heavily in upgrades, Dream Catcher represents one of the best values currently available in a Loop-capable power catamaran.
If you are searching for a stable, efficient, long-range cruiser with modern propulsion, off-grid capability, and proven cruising pedigree — Dream Catcher deserves to be at the top of your list.
