20 YACHTS & YACHTING

FLOATING LIFE OFFERS FRACTIONAL OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY IN THE ICONIC 41M OCEAN PEARL BY NORMAN FOSTER

A few weeks before the start of the Mediterranean yachting season, Floating Life announces the availability of a fractional ownership share in the 41-metre Ocean Pearl, the iconic superyacht designed by Foster + Partners.
Floating Life, the yacht management and brokerage company that has been involved in the project since its construction, is now offering the only share currently available in Ocean Pearl, allowing a new owner to step into the world of superyacht ownership through a well-established fractional ownership programme.
Delivered in 2010 by Rodriquez Cantieri Navali and designed by the renowned architectural studio
Foster + Partners, Ocean Pearl remains one of the most distinctive superyachts on the water. Her timeless lines were considered futuristic when first unveiled and are still unparalleled in the yachting industry, having influenced many contemporary yacht designs and proving the project’ s long-term vision.
Floating Life played a central role in the yacht’ s development from the very beginning. Appointed during the construction phase as technical surveyor for the design team, the company supported the build and later became responsible for the yacht’ s full management. Today, Floating Life continues to oversee all operational, technical and concierge aspects of the vessel, ensuring seamless ownership for all shareholders.
The fractional ownership model divides the yacht between eight shareholders, each entitled to approximately 30 nights per year onboard across the Mediterranean and Caribbean. The programme combines the emotional satisfaction of ownership with the practicality of professional management: the yacht, her experienced crew and all logistics are handled by Floating Life, allowing owners to simply step onboard and enjoy their time at sea.
The currently available share is offered at € 500,000, representing a compelling entry point into superyacht ownership, granting access to the full experience of life as a superyacht owner. Owners may also place unused periods on the charter market through
