The Ten Most Amazing Superyacht Interiors

You'll be hard-pushed to find a superyacht with ugly interiors but then again, pinpointing which are the best is a challenging feat in itself. In the world of superyacht interiors, luxury is in abundance and we can really appreciate how designers maximise space and comfort in space-restricted vessels. 

From neutral colour palates to bold, opulent interiors, designers have had their fun over the years creating home-from-homes too beautiful to comprehend. Let's take a closer look at some of the more jaw-dropping yacht interiors that are sure to pique your interest. 

Cristina Gherardi Design carved out a space for everything when penning Savannah . From the cosy home office to the luxurious onboard gym, guest rooms enjoy vast open spaces and tall ceilings while a grand spiral staircase draws each level together. One of our favourite features on board the Feadship superyacht Savannah is the semi-submerged viewing lounge, providing views both above and below water. 

Take a look inside motor yacht Savannah here . 

Motor Yacht A

One of the world's most famous yachts, Motor Yacht A is the pinnacle of opulence. The 119 metre Blohm + Voss motor yacht is bright and airy on the inside the with light, neutral colours throughout. We're particularly keen on the bedroom Jacuzzi in the owner's suite and the deluxe day beds in the outdoor lounging area. 

Take a closer look at Motor Yacht A 's interiors here . 

White Rabbit 

The grand central staircase on 84 metre White Rabbit greets you on arrival, leading guests to a central lobby that splits into two lounges. The interiors boast comfort from the soft carpeting throughout to the raised, squash beds and wrap-around sofas. We're not sure anyone could find a corner on White Rabbit that isn't luxuriously comfortable. Better still, the yacht has a grand circular bar on the main deck and professional-grade home cinema on board. 

Take a closer look at White Rabbit here . 

The winter garden onboard the 106 metre Lürssen superyacht is one to rival the best on land. It's a tranquil orangery complete with water features, marble floors and plenty of indoor plants. Much like the rest of the yacht, it's classy and well-considered, a favourite of ours at BOAT International . 

Explore Amadea 's interiors here . 

Grand, circular ceiling accents feature heavily in MySky , bringing every social space into one focal point and ultimately bringing everyone seated in each together. The well-polished interiors were penned by Mojo-Stumer Associates, using muted colour palates in line with the dark lacquered interior panelling to contrast the exterior styling.

One of the most hotly anticipated releases it should come as no surprise to find BOLD on this list. 85.3 metre luxury motor yacht from SilverYachts uses colour to bring the interior spaces to life, the striking living room with its cobalt blue sofas and complementary patterned rug are so zeitgeist and on-trend we can't stop staring. The interiors were penned by SilverYachts, creating a contemporary, homely space.

Dragon is like your perfect holiday home, tastefully decorated with sea-inspired materials, designed to make you feel right at home on the water. The 80 metre Palumbo superyacht takes advantage of the pools of natural light, using natural woods to complement the neutral colour palette. It's refined simplicity and we love it.   

Take a closer look at Dragon 's interiors, penned by Nuvolari Lenard here . 

The 60.35m luxury yacht, built by Feadship, has Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design to thank for its impressive interiors. With rich, cherry woods, plush sofas and a grand spiral staircase, the opulent interiors are reminiscent of more traditional-style yacht interiors with a contemporary edge.  

Take a closer look at Rock.It 's interiors here . 

Last, but certainly not least, is Elandess with her darker, moodier colour scheme. She boasts fantastic viewing points throughout including a partially submerged viewing room for visibility below the waterline. There are endless (excuse the pun) standout features, combining textures and colour as well as a number of DKT Artworks throughout.

84 Luxury Yacht Interiors: Bedroom, Galley and Salon Pictures

Posted on Published: April 13, 2022  - Last updated: June 13, 2022

A yacht is really just a luxury floating home . When you’re talking 70 feet and larger, they’re a lot nicer than my house. As you’ll see in the luxury yacht interiors below, the quality and aesthetics are simply gorgeous. And we merely feature a small handful of such boats. There are thousands and thousands of these worldwide.

Our epic yacht interiors article is split into 5 galleries:  staterooms, guest bedrooms , salons and dinettes, kitchens and bathrooms. The point of this article is to merely give you a glimpse inside these ultra expensive boats… expensive to buy, run and maintain. Be sure to also check out our yacht decks galleries .

Yacht Primary Bedrooms (Staterooms)

We kick off our yacht interiors gallery with the stateroom. When it comes to the primary bedroom on these boats, no expense is spared. They are large, comfortable and stunning in design. These bedrooms are bigger than our primary bedroom.

[su_divider]

Yacht Guest Bedrooms (2 Beds)

Many guest bedrooms on a yacht have two beds so that it can accommodate more people. However, they are, as you’ll see below, still very, very luxurious. These are certainly cozy sleeping quarters.

Salon and Dinette Photos

My favorite room on the boat is the salon and/or dinette area. In many cases, the dinette doubles as the living room. Mega yachts have dedicated salons and dining areas. I love these superb lounge designs below in the cabin as well as the upper lounge areas.

I must admit that kitchens on these super yachts are fairly small. I guess the cooking is done by the staff and yacht owners prefer to have more space for bedrooms, deck space and lounge space. That makes sense given there really is limited space. Nevertheless, these kitchens are gorgeous and the yacht designers certainly didn’t skimp with respect to quality.

Most boats dedicate very little space to bathrooms. Not these. The primary bathrooms below are incredible. The smaller bathrooms are guest bathrooms. These luxury yachts are so large and spacious that even the bathrooms are both beautiful and comfortable to use.

Monaco Yacht Show: 7 Yacht Interiors That Will Steal the Show

By Nicole Trilivas

Running from September 28 through October 1, the Monaco Yacht Show is the highlight of the global boat show circuit. This year’s edition promises to deliver plenty of buzzy debuts, headline-making yacht news, and high-design highlights. There are several new additions to this year’s event in Port Hercules including a sustainability hub and a gadget- and gizmo-filled adventure area , packed with new water toys and flashy supercars —it is Monaco , after all.

For denizens of design, the Yacht Design & Innovation Hub is returning for a second year, with presentations, galleries, and exhibits by yacht architects and designers. But, of course, the big boats steal the show. With yacht interiors that range from the classically nautical to the budget-blowing bonkers, these are the superyachts to have on your radar at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show.

An oversized chandelier defines the space in the informal dining room aboard Ahpo . 

Lürssen, Ahpo

All eyes will be on the whopping 377-feet Ahpo , by Lürssen, when it debuts this year at the Monaco Yacht Show as the largest yacht in the port. Venice-based exterior and interior designer Nuvolari Lenard added plenty of personality and luxury to the vessel with oversized crystal light features, a hammam made of mosaics in the massive wellness area, and a grand staircase at the center of the yacht, crafted to resemble an olive tree.

Blue accents channel the traditional nautical aesthetic. 

Feadship, Rock.It

The 198-foot Rock.It is not short on style: Gleaming wood panels with creamy white leather inlays feature throughout; glowing white onyx contrasts with rich black Portoro marble; and the well-dressed owner’s cabin rivals the top suite of an old-world European hotel with a warm wood study and bathroom with a claw-footed tub. The refined design can be attributed to the Netherlands with Dutch shipyard Feadship behind the build and Dutch design studio Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design taking on the interiors.

Modern and laid-back, Come Together is effortlessly cool. 

Amels, Come Together

Built in the Netherlands by Amels with interiors by London-based Winch Design, the 197-foot Come Together has soft and laid-back beach-y vibes with a dose of Southern California cool. Elements like bleached oaks, woven linen fabrics, cabinetry with natural coconut shell, and hair-on-hide leathers all unite to bring the natural world aboard this chic ship.

Crisp and clean, the interiors of Be Cool are to-the-point in a refreshing way. 

Swan 98, Be Cool  

There’s a fleet of around a dozen large sailing yachts on display at this year’s yacht show in the dedicated Sailing Yacht Area. One of the most notable new launches of the bunch is Swan 98 Be Cool  by Finnish shipyard Nautor’s Swan. The clean and crisp interior hull design by Genovese architect Misa Poggi embraces graceful nautical style and Scandinavian practicality with navy linen and cotton fabrics, dark oak, and handsome tobacco-hued leather.

Kokomo ’s interiors will speak to the minimalist. 

Sunreef, Kokomo

Packed with cutting-edge green tech and ultralight solar panels, Sunreef’s newest catamaran  Eco 80 will be making waves at this year’s show. However, it’s the interiors of the 80-foot Kokomo (done in-house by Sunreef) that will impress the design lovers. Outfitted in cool and calm shades of white with rattan finishes and eucalyptus veneers, Kokomo is both on-trend and a complete classic.

The glass-bottom pool is a highlight of the yacht. 

Abeking & Rasmussen, B2

One of the largest vessels currently on the market, the 281-foot B2 by German yard Abeking & Rasmussen, will be showing off an ultra-chic over-$4-million interior refit just completed in July at this year’s show. Sprawling out over five decks, Winch Design has curated a serene floating sanctuary of indoor-outdoor living, the highlight of which is the main deck’s glass-bottom pool, stationed above the light-filled beach club lounge with fold-down balconies that extend the living space right to the water’s edge.

With dark wood, tubular steel accents, and black furnishings, the interiors of State of Grace could be described as a nautical take on the Bauhaus aesthetic. 

Perini Navi, State of Grace

State of Grace by Italy’s Perini Navi is a gorgeous high-performance sailing sloop. It’s picture-perfect with polished teak decks, an ocean-blue hull, and billowing white sails. Inside is a study in midcentury-modern elegance with a split-level saloon and a spacious and full-beam owner’s suite with a hammam shower.

These are the Yacht Interior Designers to Know

Designing a superyacht is a personal experience and involves making an overwhelming amount of choices.

By Sophie Killip

For those seasoned individuals who have experience chartering yachts , visiting friends’ yachts, sailing the high seas, or maybe even purchasing their first pre-designed yacht, the next thrill might come from building their own vessel. Although designing your own superyacht is a truly personal experience, it also involves making an overwhelming amount of choices. This is why the first step to building a new superyacht should always be to choose a designer to work with – and there are several yacht interior designers you can choose from.

Whether it’s considering how the internal spaces of your yacht will work, what furniture or materials are used, or even working out the external design for your new vessel, collaborating with a designer will make the process of creating your dream superyacht as stress-free and easy as possible. To help, Elite Traveler has created a list of yacht interior (and exterior, in some cases) designers that should be on your radar – and if you’re also on the lookout for a new yacht builder, why not discover our list of the best luxury yacht builders in the world ?

Winch Design

Our list of the best yacht interior designers kicks off with  Winch Design. Originally founded by Andrew Winch and his wife Jane in 1986, at the time it was known as Andrew Winch Designs. It was rebranded as Winch Designs in 2015 but has been one of the UK’s leading superyacht and private jet design studios for over thirty years. Winch Design’s yacht studio is now led by Jim Dixon and the team has created a multitude of extraordinary projects, all of which are highly bespoke and tailored to each client’s specific requests.

One of Winch Design’s most recent yacht projects was the 260 ft M/Y Excellence , which shipbuilder Abeking & Rasmussen say was its “most challenging project to date”. Its owner worked closely with the design studio to create a yacht with interiors inspired by the “Floridian East Cost Deco” style and that felt both personal to him and welcoming to any guest on board. “ Excellence was a very exciting project to be involved with and [she] tested the team to their creative limits,” says senior partner, Ignacio Oliva-Vele.

Terence disdale design.

Based in the UK, Terence Disdale Design is one of the yachting industry’s most respected design studios. The team works on both the interior and exterior design of some of the world’s most incredible yachts, with previous projects including M/Y Eclipse , one of the biggest superyachts in the world. The studio was founded by Terence Disdale, who – despite having no formal training – is one of the most sought-after designers in the industry.

Disdale set up his eponymous studio in 1972 after working for famous designer Jon Bannenberg (Bannenberg’s studio was also where Andrew Winch and Tim Heywood learned their craft). Across his extraordinary 40-year career Disdale and his studio have designed over 100 yachts, including more than 50 superyachts. His wide-ranging design style often follows the mantra of ‘beach house, not penthouse’, with concepts often finding inspiration from the ocean.

Sorgiovanni Designs

Australian yacht designer Sam Sorgiovanni’s career began after he studied Industrial Design and found his first position working for shipbuilder Oceanfast. It was thanks to the experience he gained at this renowned shipbuilder that Sorgiovanni decided to set up his own studio, launching Sorgiovanni Designs in 1997 in Fremantle, Western Australia. The studio has also recently opened an office in Monaco in order to expand its design services to Europe.

Sorgiovanni believes it’s important to “keep one eye on the past” when designing projects, “in order to avoid making the same mistakes” as before. Previous yacht designs that he has worked on include the 390 ft Amana in collaboration with Oceanco, and the exteriors of the 270 ft Secret. When Sorgiovanni is not working on a particular project, he is also traveling the world to consult on yacht designs for clients, working with a variety of suppliers and shipbuilders.

Zaniz Studio

Next up on our list of the best yacht interior designers is Zaniz Studio. The company was founded in New York City by English-American designer Zaniz Jakubowski – who up until recently, had rarely been able to discuss her astounding portfolio of projects due to the NDAs that came with the commissions. The studio has an international reputation for creating iconic and innovative projects, which always have strong attention to detail. As well as designing for both private and commercial yachts, Zaniz Studio works across other industries, including creating theatre sets and residential and commercial interiors.

One of Zaniz Studio’s latest projects – and one it was able to share – was the 350 ft superyacht Luminosity , which went on the market last year for over $266 million. The studio was responsible for both the interior and exterior of Luminosity, which was built by Italian shipyard Benetti. What is most interesting is that the team abandoned the typical format of designing the exterior first, followed by the interior; instead, the superyacht has been designed from the inside out.

Nuvolari Lenard

Well known for its timeless design style, Nuvolari Lenard is one of the largest – and most active – luxury yacht design studios in the world, founded in 1992 by naval architect and mechanical engineer Carlo Nuvolari and stylist Dan Lenard. The studio is based in Italy’s island city, Venice, and draws heavy influence from the city for its classic yacht designs, combining strong architectural lines with a deep passion and understanding for the sea. One of its latest projects was the 465 ft Nord (previously called Project Opus).

Not only is Nuvolari Lenard based in Venice, but it also has a renowned Design Center on the outskirts of the city that hosts architects and designers working on a range of tasks. Inside the Design Center is a scale yacht model workshop that gives designers the opportunity to visualize their concepts and research shapes before confirming a final design. The interior design section of the studio’s Design Center also features a showroom where clients and designers can discuss fabrics and materials.

Patrick Knowles Designs

With decades of experience in the marine industry under his belt, Patrick Knowles is one of America’s top yacht designers. His studio, Patrick Knowles Designs , specializes in custom megayacht and superyacht interiors, as well as designing for private aircraft. The team at Patrick Knowles Design prides themselves on their creativity and a strong commitment to making sure projects are finished on time, while also exceeding expectations.

One of Patrick Knowles Designs’ award-winning projects was a Key West-inspired 206 ft ISA displacement superyacht. The owners requested an interior that felt like a five-star tropical resort; through a design that incorporated vibrant murals of plants and aquatic life, lush fabrics and furnishings, and the use of environmentally friendly, natural materials including bamboo, palm wood and coconut shells, Patrick Knowles delivered. The onboard showcase piece is a 30-foot-tall light fixture constructed from Murano glass that sits within the spiral staircase, joining all three levels.

Tillberg Design of Sweden

Our list of the most exclusive yacht interior designers would not be complete without mentioning Tillberg Design of Sweden. Founded in 1964 in Höganäs, the practice has been designing timeless Scandinavian-inspired interiors on board some of the world’s most luxurious vessels for over five decades.

Known for its meticulous craftsmanship, use of quality materials and expert lighting, when it comes to creating beautiful spaces you’re in safe hands with Tillberg Design of Sweden. Perhaps most impressive is the studio’s latest project designing the interiors onboard the gigantic 728-foot superyacht Somnio .

The recently released renderings reveal stunning dream-like rooms expertly blending indoor and outdoor spaces. Future owners that are lucky enough to live on the world’s first residential yacht liner will be given the opportunity to work with the prestigious design firm over three months to create their dream apartment.

Superyacht Interiors: The Top Luxury Designs

Everyone knows that a yacht or superyacht is nothing without a luxury interior. Indeed, there’s now a whole range of interior designers who either specialize in or regularly create yacht interiors. So, how do you find the best projects? Here at Insplosion, we want to help. That’s why we’ve gathered a list of our top luxury superyacht interiors !

Brigadoon | studio indigo.

Including the Brigadoon in this list is pretty mandatory. After all, this luxury yacht by Studio Indigo is an actual winner of the World Superyacht Awards 2019! Thus, this project is all about the grand but understated mid-century luxury decor. The flowers, the wood, and navy-colored details combine to make this into a pretty classic luxury boat interior. Indeed, it’s the beautiful and neutral harmony that truly takes this project to the next level.

Besides, it’s quite a practical design. As you can see, the bedrooms and closets are amazingly organized. It’s all about luxury, yes, but also about comfort and practicality. The high seas are no place for clutter, which can cause accidents in bad weather.

But, in contrast with the brown color palette, you have this lovely deck area. With its slightly japandi style influences, this is the perfect place to relax in at the end of a long day.

Aurora Borealis | Winch Design

The Aurora Borealis does justice to its namesake. Indeed, it is as white and bright of an interior as the aurora itself. However, there are all sorts of little decor elements which are reminiscent of the sea. Just notice the shell-shaped ashtray and sea-horse patterns on some of the pillows! Finally, the mid-century lighting really adds a nice touch to the ambiance.

But there’s much more to admire. How do you like the lovely art deco bar? The lines themselves almost remind you of corals and shells. And the airy, light decor is just as present in the dining and living areas. While just as luxurious, this interior is much different from the Brigadoon’s.

Finally, we’ll leave you with this gorgeous view of the yacht’s deck at night. Once again, the seatings and patterns are chosen to be evocative of the ocean. It’s as gorgeous of a yacht design as you could ask for.

Superyacht Forever | St. Corona Interiors

If you’re looking for something equally light, but much more sober, look no further than Superyacht Forever . This creation by St. Corona Interiors also follows a white color scheme, but the decor elements aren’t quite as feminine. There’s not as much art deco influence here. The lines are much cleaner and simpler, almost minimalist compared to the glamour of the previous project.

The impact of decor

The bar and living room area follow more or less the same route. Indeed, they favor light color schemes and clean, shapely lines. It’s all about practical luxury, functional without being quite minimalist.

Finally, we have the bedroom. While not opulent in the slightest, this room has the same sort of stylish beauty as the rest of the interior. Once again: you don’t want clutter on the high seas!

Logica | Martin Kemp Design

At last, we reach the Logica .  This project for a luxury yacht by Marin Kemp Design is everything our interior decor dreams are made of. Like the Aurora, it takes a much more art deco approach to superyacht interiors. The little metal details are just what we like to call luxury hardware!

The bedroom and living space designs follow very similar color schemes and strategies. Since you can’t have any clutter, it’s all about denoting luxury through the tiniest details.

Finally, you have the bathroom project, which is as light and gorgeous as the rest of the design. It’s a luxury bathroom through and through.

So, which of these superyacht interiors did you prefer?

Editor’s choice:.

Luxury Superyacht Interior Design Ideas

Home decoration doesn’t have to be restrained to dry land abodes. For those who count a luxury boat as a second home, or have their sights set on being able to say so someday, superyacht interior inspiration becomes a hot topic. There are design principles that remain relevant whatever the shape, size and style of the property, such as harnessing natural light, but beyond that, superyacht interior design requires its own, shipshape decorating agenda.

Incorporating the structural elements

Boat interior design typically faces a few physical barriers that affect the aesthetic. Often, some of the necessary structural facets of the build are exposed, such as steel supporting girders in the centre of a room, or technical obligations like marked security exits and emergency lighting that need to be visible, but will detract from the room’s style.

The key is to turn these challenges into opportunities. In the case of the supporting columns, they can be transformed into elegant pillars with additional, dummy columns added to make a statement with strong symmetry.

Channelling natural light

Just as with houses on the shore, a luxury yacht interior is always going to be benefit from natural light pouring in. Many contemporary yachts are purposefully being designed to echo what you see in contemporary buildings – ceiling to floor sheets of glass. Or as close to that as they can.

Not only does this direct a greater degree of natural light into the yacht’s living spaces, but it challenges the traditional window design you’d see at sea, making them appear less stereotypically nautical.

Maximise the amount of light by using high-gloss, polished surfaces that will reflect the sun’s rays as well as oversized mirrors if the wall space allows. If the yacht’s windows are more traditional in their dimensions, avoid heavy window treatments like fully-lined, voluminous curtains that, even when pulled back, will block some of the natural light from entering.

Working with oddly shaped rooms

Many vessels have a matrix of unusually shaped rooms that can make living quarters feel cramped. One way to work around this to use glass instead so that there’s still the required support in place, but the walls become transparent, opening up the environment.

This takes a lot of planning with the shipyard and means creating a channel that holds the glass within the boat’s structure – it should be installed even before the flooring so that the wall flows smoothly through the floor. But if this degree of build isn’t passable or if you’re only concerned with decoration rather than the boat’s architecture, remember to stick to just a few colours and materials in your boat’s scheme.

By having walls, ceiling and designer furniture all in the same colour, they fuse together and make unusually shaped rooms appear less cumbersome. In the Martin Kemp Design interior, you see a focus on white and the same tone of wood used from room to room, which result in any awkward angles being smoothed out.

Make the most of the minimal square footage

Even on the grandest of super yachts (have a read of our Q&A with superyacht firm Bannenberg and Rowell for seriously grand boat design talk), space is always the biggest constraint. Practicality doesn’t have to overrule good looks, but the two do need to balance to achieve a harmonious interior. Nothing is more frustrating than when there’s not enough room to store belongings, so by ensuring there’s a considerable amount of clever, integrated storage, the less there is to line the corridors and litter any surfaces.

Other key design tips to not over-occupy minimal square footage include ensuring any electrical wiring and speakers for technology like music or entertainment systems is concealed in the boat’s walls with a flush finish if possible. With lighting , concentrate less on floor lamps and more on wall lights , ceiling lights and pendant lights . Look closer at the Martin Kemp Design yacht bedroom and you’ll notice there are bedside wall lights and shelves rather than lamps and tables, as well as lots of LED strip lighting that take up no room.

Build in seamless storage

Attention to detail is always pivotal in interior design, because the smallest of touches can have a huge effect. In terms of a boat’s design, a strong example is making sure any storage is handleless.

Push-to-open mechanisms or cutout handles really do make a room feel far sleeker. The handle-free option combined with integrated storage that’s flush to the wall allows for significant fluidity. This doesn’t mean to say that every piece of storage has to be fitted. But try to bring in any freestanding items of storage in line with the architecture of the room. Follow any places where the walls come out and let them be your guide.

Looking back at the Martin Kemp Design bedroom, the chest of drawers doesn’t protrude past the wall on the left-hand side of the room, and in the twin bedroom, the bedside tables are at the same level as the bed frame which creates a seamless line.

Working with low ceilings

Superyacht design almost always should seek to combat the notorious low ceiling environment. Boat ceilings can be as low as seven feet, so employ design trickery techniques that can give the illusion that they’re on the taller side.

Reflective materials used well will add lift and can even create a feeling of infinity when they’re used in a detail-oriented way. For example, in the Martin Kemp Design bedroom pictured, where there’s a combination of gloss paintwork and reflective panels laid in a chevron formation which draws the eye up and along.

Equally, dark colours used overhead with a reflective finish adds depth to the ceiling that’s hard to calculate – there’s no telling where it ends, and so the ceiling height feels lifted, like it might go on and on and on.

The Most Exciting Superyacht Interiors of 2022

By Heather Collier

Superyachts.com reflects on the some of the most memorable and remarkable superyacht interiors unveiled and showcased over the course of the past year.

Lady Lene In May of this year, interior images of the 34 metre fully custom Van der Valk explorer yacht Lady Lene were unveiled for the very first time, and was publicly presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival last month. The all-aluminium tri-deck superyacht is instantly recognisable by her golden-bronze hull, fast-displacement round bilge hull and wave-piercing bow. However, Lady Lene’s interiors more than rival her sleek and sturdy exterior. Accommodating up to 10 guests, the client's brief included five staterooms: two master, one of them on the bridge deck with a private balcony, two spacious and comfortable VIP, and a guest cabin, as well as six crew members in a captain's cabin and two crew cabins. The intention for Lady Lene's interior was to create a calming effect throughout. Using materials such as fluted wood, a popular material in the 1920s and 30s, as well as natural oak, silk georgette stone, leather, and suede, the design team were able to create a cosy yet luxurious feel.

Subtle champagne gold metal touches also help create a harmonious connection between the spaces, masterfully executed by the artisans of the Van der Valk Shipyard. The main deck expands from the spacious dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows and hideable cabinetry over a residential kitchen with full-size side-by-side fridge and freezer and a six-burner induction cooktop at the bow all the way through the saloon to the large al-fresco dining and lounge areas on the extended aft deck, with a seamless transition from inside to outside areas.

Goga Described by Benetti as a 'new chapter' in this historic shipyard's journey, Goga offers a transformative 'new concept of space' to those onboard.

Rather uniquely for a yacht of 37m, guest cabins have been elevated on to the main deck, a feature more common of a much larger yacht. Her bridge can also have a veranda or a private owner deck, which is rare for a yacht of her size, and more typical of yachts 55m+.

Her interior was designed in-house by Mauro Izzo. Through Izzo and Giorgetti Design's careful and meticulous planning of each room and hand-selected piece, Goga provides guests with enhanced comfort through bright and contemporary spaces. To reach the upper deck, guests will find an alluring central stairway in the midst of elegant interior and exterior dining areas and the main saloon. Goga provides an expansive, open plan space that leads onto a foredeck area with a pool and more seating.

Up one more level is the owner’s cabin, with its own private terrace with a large sundeck just above. Guests can enjoy an uninterrupted, 360 degree view through glass that spans the entirety of the main lounge and outdoor terraces.

With an al fresco dining space dubbed as "fun island", guests can enjoy dining and lounging right by the water's edge, with huge, comfortable stairs to enter it whenever they please. In terms of accomodation, there are two further double cabins on the lower deck, bringing the total number of guest cabins to seven.

There is total separation of guests and crew, with all crew and service areas concentrated on the lower deck; granting guests the pleasure of full privacy.

A garage and huge beach club can also be found below, with tenders and toy storage dedicated. The beach area also offers a shower, sauna and laundry as well as space to store furniture and other items when guests desire to relax at sea level. Al Waab No stranger to opulence, Al Waab’s décor bears a stunning, gold wall installation, with integrated crystals that elegantly dress the stairwell and all three decks. Glass also appears to be a key feature, resulting in uninterrupted sight lines, creating a smooth, glacial pace for guests when moving between spaces.

Glass bulwarks provide uninterrupted outboard views and large outdoor areas for guests to enjoy the vistas in a secluded, plush setting. With a drop-down bulwark in the main dining area, the idea of a traditional dining room vanishes completely, complimented by a stunning alfresco breakfast space – just two metres above the water on the starboard deck. Her sprawling beach club in the stern is another highlight, along with a jacuzzi forward of the owner’s stateroom.

The use of virtual reality was also implemented early on in the project to optimise the space planning and ergonomic layout. Open-plan, owner-centric general arrangements are guaranteed to create a true sense of freedom for all onboard, sleeping up to 18 guests for both owners and guests.

Rare for a 499GT yacht, she includes a lavish split-level master suite on the upper deck with a private 4m pool on the foredeck. By placing the tender bay in a sunken deck in the bow, the tenders are easily accessible yet hidden from view. The grated ‘tween deck arrangement provides storage for two tenders, a pair of jet skis, and other water toys and amenities.

Much of the living and seating areas are outward facing, sketched with the sentiment of letting owners form an intimate, unforgettable connection with the sea. Bold Bold's interior boasts a seamless blend of luxury and practicality, offering a sleek range of oak and teak, accompanied by metallic painted features and oak and marble flooring, all centred around an extravagant sky lounge. Accommodating 12 guests in 8 luxury cabins, including an owner’s suite, 3 VIP cabins and 4 double guest cabins, while a further 13 cabins can allow a crew of over 20 onboard the Lower Deck, she is plentiful in room.

On her top deck, Bold features additional, expansive party spaces, including a secluded jacuzzi and 2,700-litre, glistening spa pool alongside a cosy firepit and equipment to set up and indulge in your own private cinema.

For owners who find joy in entertaining, look no further than the main banqueting space – complete with a bar, serving stations, two rotisseries and an induction hob, all to satisfy any guest's culinary needs.

The aft section of the Bridge Deck also features removable railings that allow space for a second helicopter, but perhaps what is most impressive, is the winter garden located on the Owner's Deck. When unveiled, this tranquil space acts as a large terrace, open to the sea breeze and breath-taking panoramic views of the water. The 300 sqm interior loft is designed to feel like a New York loft apartment and uniquely brings everyone together in a modern, open plan space with full height windows. Perhaps most dramatic is the contrast between the interior spaces and utilitarian exterior spaces – especially when viewed from the wintergarden.

Bold's aft deck opens up to a 400sqm multi-purpose open space capable of storing large tenders, sailboats, cars or submarines – a feature very few yachts can match. With a full wall LED screen and impressive sound system in the heli hanger, this space can be used for a movie, disco or an indoor/outdoor gym.

Superyacht Interior Design Trends: 2021 and Beyond

Written By: Naomi Chadderton

Design trends in the superyacht world are dictated less by the latest colours or gadgets and more by lifestyle choices, with interior designers constantly on the lookout for ways to take the user experience to the next level.

While most of the world may have slowed down during the pandemic, the superyacht interior design industry seems to be booming, with British studio Winch Design seeing a rise in yacht refurbishments over the last year. “Just as everyone saw 2020 as the year to knuckle down and target those home projects that had been pushed to the side, it was the same for superyachts,” says Jim Dixon, director of yachts and aviation.

“Many owners took the time to take care of the maintenance, ensuring their yachts are in the best condition possible for when restrictions are lifted. There has also been an increase in the time spent on yachts, with many owners seeing them as the perfect places to quarantine or set up a bubble. This, in turn, has also provided an increase in refurbishments with the clients’ needs shifting to accommodate these longer stays.”

Mark Berryman, founder of Mark Berryman Design agrees, explaining that: “As new builds can take between three and a half to five years from start to finish, clients are hoping that Covid-19 will be gone by this point and are therefore planning for the future.”

Key Superyacht Interior Trends for 2021

From advancements in green design trends to the new and exciting ways that glass is being used on board, we explore the key yacht interior trends to look out for in 2021 and beyond.

Sustainability and Carbon Reduction

As superyacht owners get younger and more in tune with the climate change around us, shipbuilders have been making waves in the industry with developments that lessen the damage on our marine environment, with regard to propulsion, reducing carbon footprints and creating more energy-efficient vessels. As to be expected, a growing eco-conscience in the superyacht industry is leading the way for sustainable interior design too, as studios cite sustainable alternatives to damaging onboard materials.

Black Pearl is one of the greenest superyachts on the water

At the forefront of the movement is Winch Design, where interior teams have been working hard to incorporate an extensive selection of sustainable materials into its sample library, allowing them to offer environmentally friendly solutions for every design. “Organisations such as the Water Revolution Foundation are developing tools that enable the industry to assess its environmental impact – not just in terms of CO2 emissions from a yacht, but a full life-cycle assessment based on the most important indicators of environmental impact,” says Dixon.

“The tools don’t only assess the entire yacht, the build process or the operation, but can also assess a subsystem or focus only on the hull construction or machinery on board. It’s important to take the life-cycle assessment approach to know what real sustainable choices are – not just for the operation or the build,” he adds. As such, they have had plenty of success substituting traditional finishes such as shagreen and horn with faux versions including olive-tanned and plant-based leathers, as well as fabrics such as organic cotton and bamboo which are much kinder to our planet.

Mark Berryman is known for his use of sustainable materials

Berryman is also passionate about incorporating sustainable materials into his designs, something that fits perfectly with his signature style. “Thanks to our relaxed contemporary in house style with accents of Asian influence, the issue of sustainability often isn’t a problem for us,” he explains. “We use natural materials that are plentiful and easily replaceable, such as bamboos, rattans and wood veneers of non-rare species. We no longer find our clients asking for rare or non-sustainable finishes.”

Lighting Technology

As lighting technology rapidly evolves, it presents an incredible array of opportunities both on board superyachts and beyond and, as something that used to run as an afterthought, things have been improving rapidly as of late, with lighting now being considered as an integral part of the interior and being detailed into joinery.

“Lighting is one of the most important aspects of all interiors, not only yachts,” Pavel May, head of the Maritime Program at Preciosa Lighting tells Superyacht Stories. “When you enter a room, the first thing you notice is the mood and feeling the space presents. This is what lighting does: creates the desired mood and feel. Installations are becoming more minimalistic and focused on the details – these days, light fixtures are basically a work of art.”

Preciosa Lighting

A recurring trend that we expect to continue is the use of lighting within natural elements such as natural stone – “these lights illuminate the surroundings without being too harsh on the eyes,” explains Dixon. Elsewhere, LED lighting placed behind a gas-filled panel that replicates the earth’s air make-up is also picking up speed. “It means that when you turn the LED light on, the panel feels like a skylight with real sunlight behind it,” explains Berryman. 

“This is great for spaces such as beach clubs which work so well during good conditions with shell doors that fold down, but when the weather is not permitting they can feel quite dark with smaller windows set into the doors. This new LED panel technology creates a fantastic effect and brings the feeling of natural sunlight into a dark space, and it’s very difficult to tell the difference between that and a real skylight.”

Innovations in Glass

Shipyards have been investing heavily in the research of glass over recent years, leading to more innovative, flexible use of the material for superyacht exteriors. As such, it’s having a positive domino effect on boat interiors too, and as something that both connects and separates at the same time, it’s no surprise that requests for innovative new uses of glass are coming in thick and fast.

In 2020, for example, we saw privacy glass replacing curtains and shades, and in some cases, it even replaced walls. This can be seen in the glass-box owner’s lounge found on the Riva Race ,  or the distorted glass walls that separate the bedroom from the rest of the master on board Hakvoort’s Scout.

Winch Design is known for its innovative use of glass

“Designs have become more radical, and we are incorporating more engineering challenges into our designs, for example, the curved double-height glass panels on Excellence, each precision-engineered and weighing over a tonne,” says James Russell, associate and exterior yacht designer at Winch Design. “It’s becoming increasingly important to find ways to make the structural assets of a design merge seamlessly with the design aesthetic.”

A desire for more contemporary spaces is also coming to the fore, often open plan with huge expanses of glass allowing light to flood in and the guests to feel close to nature. As such, it allows the landscape to become a backdrop for the interior itself.

“Glass in the use of the exterior is really helping the interior spaces,” agrees Berryman. “We found on MY Life Saga, which we completed in 2019, that the size of the windows had a fantastic effect on the interior spaces. Again with a neutral palette of warm wood tones and calming natural fabrics, the sunlight filtering into these spaces was amazing. Not only did the interior benefit from being flooded with light, but also the guests benefitted from uninterrupted views of the ocean.”

Relaxed, Calming Design Aesthetic

Fashioning a place you want to relax in that also remains a symbol of status is a quandary most superyacht owners will face at least once in their lifetimes. While owners would once upon a time have expressed a degree of majestic power through lavish colour schemes, today’s narrative places far more importance on relaxation and calm. Here, natural earthy tones take pride of place. “These shades connect back to nature and create a feeling of stability,” says Dixon. “The world is becoming more at one with nature and there has been an increase in demand for matching the designs to the natural landscape.”

Think sky blues, sage greys, classic whites and blush tones; 2021 is all about less show and more sand, with a bare-foot luxury beach club vibe increasingly popular. Coaxing a laid-back palette with plenty of natural materials, these calming colours work to warm up any space. “We tend to use oak as a backdrop to our interiors as this means you can highlight areas with dark furniture punctuations that contrast beautifully,” adds Berryman. “Bamboos and leathers are a firm favourite for us to create a warmth to our interiors. We always try to create a space that feels like a home from home.”

Gadgets and Onboard Audiovisual Technology

Millennial superyacht owners aren't only more in touch with sustainability issues, but technological advancements too, with the yachting mindset slowly shifting from simply buying a product to having experiences. And when it comes to technology on board, we’ve never had it so good. From simple gadgets and gizmos to connectivity advancements, what the owner wants the owner can most definitely get.

“We’ve designed yachts with speaker systems situated on the sundeck which pump out enough volume in such a way that the owner could ride around on their jet ski and still listen to music if they wanted to,” says Dixon. “We’ve also designed helipads which can be converted into an outdoor cinema through the use of hidden speakers and screens.”

Technological capabilities in movie screenings are becoming even more advanced (Mark Berryman Design)

In fact, requests for technological advancements in cinemas and movie screenings are increasing exponentially. Mark Berryman says he’s finding cinemas with interactive seating that convey movement that relates to the film being watched, to be very popular. “Clients always want larger screen sizes for their TVs, and new large interior and exterior models are now available for all weather conditions," he says. "We put a dance floor on a boat recently that was made up of individual monitor panels where anything could be broadcast onto them which was very exciting, if not a strange experience trying to send emails from my phone whilst having them streamed to the dance floor beneath my feet!” 

Onboard Spas

Health and wellness is a growing trend and that’s reflected in superyacht spas as well. Onboard spas are now routinely fully-equipped gyms, saunas, steam rooms, treatment rooms, beauty salons and the works. The spa is no longer a simple extension of the beach club. “Technological capabilities on board superyacht spas are second to none,” agrees Dixon. “We use companies who create holistic life-spa experiences which combine traditional spa methods with new technology and hurtle spa experiences into the future. We’ve also designed one aviation concept which has an aromatherapy shower on a jet!”

The pandemic has slowed much of the world down, but the superyacht industry has boomed and it has taken the yachting interior design sector along for the ride. Key trends emerging in yacht interior design this year include a focus on sustainability and eco-friendliness, major advances in the use of lighting, innovations in glass, design aesthetics that focus on creating calming environments, large onboard spas, and a major adoption of gadgets and AV technology.

10 Small Superyachts That Offer Supersized Interiors

These sub-100-footers combine broad beams with unconventional interiors to create the space of superyachts that are sometimes twice as long., howard walker, howard walker's most recent stories.

For many yacht owners, the solution to finding more space aboard for friends and family is summed up by that immortal line by Chief Brody in Jaws : “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

Until now, bigger has typically meant longer. But that’s quickly changing as more and more builders are creating interior volume by going wider and taller. For disrupter builder Wally Yachts and its polarizing new Wallywhy 150—which refers to its internal volume rather than the boat’s length—the quirky design is said to deliver 50 percent more space than more traditional 78-footers.

Other builders like Princess have been in the game since 2021. Its X95 first appeared several years ago, effectively throwing down the gauntlet as a way forward for sub-100-foot yachts to supersize both interior and exterior volumes.

Since then, many other builders of small superyachts have jumped on board, with designs that typically have somewhat bloated profiles, far-forward main suites, and open transoms—features all designed to maximize space but minimize length.

Here are 10 new yachts 100 feet and under that are breaking the mold in an attempt to dominate the nautical space race.

wallywhy150

It’s no wonder that disrupter Italian builder Wally—now part of the Ferretti Group—calls its latest head-turner a “spaceship.” Claiming up to 50 percent more space than comparable 78-footers, the 150 (named after interior volume rather than length) has standout features like a main salon with over eight feet of headroom, and a beam of more than 22 feet. The pragmatic design includes a one-level main deck attached to an open rear cockpit that offers easy access to the water. Its most noteworthy feature is the rule-breaking, full-beam master suite tucked into the bow on the main deck. It has wraparound glass—stretching all the way around the bow—for panorama-like views from the main bedroom. Priced from about $6.7 million.

Lazzara UHV 87

Short for Ultra High Volume, this new Turkish-built pocket superyacht is a sistership to Lazzara’s UHV 100 and 125 models. The newest Lazzara boasts an impressive 2,153 square feet of interior space in its 87-foot length. Arguably, the boat is not pretty in a classic sense. The towering hull sides, blunt, plumb bow, and dark-tinted glass make it look more like a dinner cruiser than a mini-superyacht. But the interior space is astonishing, from the cavernous Sky Lounge, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, to the salon with a separate, chandelier-lit dining area and chef’s galley. With a fuel capacity of 3,000 gals, the twin 1,000 hp Volvo D13s deliver a top speed of 16 knots. The boat also has transatlantic range. Base price starts at about $10.9 million.

Sunseeker 100 Yacht

Movie nights under the stars should have a whole new appeal aboard UK builder Sunseeker’s brand-new 98-footer. Lie back on the yacht’s extra-wide foredeck sunpad and watch the latest blockbuster on a 140-inch screen with laser projection. Or, if you’re the lucky owner, stargaze from your private terrace tucked away in the bow, just steps from the full-beam main-deck master suite, with atrium-style glass sliding doors. One of the best innovations here is the wide, uninterrupted walkway around the entire top deck, which provides safe, easy access from the flybridge to the forward entertaining space. With its twin 2,600 hp V16 MTU diesels, top speed is an impressive 29 knots. Priced from about $10.5 million.

Azimut Grande 26M

For its brand-new Grande 26M compact superyacht, Italian builder Azimut has gone extra wide to create massive interior and exterior spaces. Spatial highlights include a full-width flybridge that’s almost 20 feet across and close to 40 feet long, and a foredeck entertaining area that seems more like an outdoor patio. The Alberto Mancini-styled go-fast cruiser is crammed with space-enhancing innovations, such as a teak-decked garage door that, at the touch of a button, hinges upwards to extend the rear cockpit by almost five feet. New ZF pod drives coupled to the yacht’s twin 1,650 hp MAN V12 diesels also save space. It is priced from about $6.2 million.

Princess X95

As we said during our 2021 tour of Britain’s Princess Yachts’ tri-deck X95 “When it comes to the polarizing, head-spinning design, there are no half-measures, no in-betweens. You either love it. Or loathe it.” But what those eye-popping lines hide is perhaps the most spacious 95-foot luxury cruiser in the category. Reckoned to be some 40 percent roomier than cruisers with the same length, the X95 has stretch-out accommodations for up to 10 in five cabins and living spaces that rival most apartments. The flybridge covers almost the entire length of the yacht. The 100 is also fast, with twin 1,990 hp MAN V12s delivering a top speed of 23 knots. Prices start at about $12 million.

Extra X96 Triplex

This broad-beamed 96-footer is from the Italian builder Extra Yachts, which is part of the Palumbo Superyachts Group. While it’s called the Triplex, there are actually four levels if you include the cozy upper sundeck with its outdoor kitchen, dining area, and oversized sunpads. The exterior comes courtesy of Italian designer Francesco Guida, while interiors are by Milan-based Hot Labs. Both teams have made the most of the yacht’s class-leading 25-foot beam. Notable features include a vast full-beam master on the main level and an upper salon dedicated entirely to dining, with a table for 10, an open chef’s galley, and an adjoining outdoor bar. Twin Volvo IPS1350s deliver a 16.5-knot top speed. Priced from $12 million.

Sunreef 100

This Sunreef power catamaran’s beam spans a staggering 44 feet, offering the kind of interior and exterior spaces you only get with superyachts twice the length. Every element of the yacht is XXL-size—from the massive hydraulic swim platform to the full-width flybridge that covers almost 1,000 square feet. Down in the salon is a huge 11-seat U-shaped bar that would delight any mixologist. The five staterooms in the twin hulls have space for 10. A pair of 1,300 hp MAN V8 diesels delivers a six-knot top speed. It is priced from about $15.3 million.

Absolute Navetta 75

In Italian, the word “navetta” translates to “little ship.” Which is a perfect description for Absolute’s new 75-foot fast cruiser. It’s an evolution of the strong-selling Navetta 73 but with nearly two feet of extra length. The yacht’s expansive interior volumes will remain the same, with features like a forward master stateroom on its own level that has a private entrance steps away from the main salon. The salon features floor-to-ceiling glass, with full views of the water, courtesy of open bulwarks. Twin 1,000 hp Volvo IPS1350 diesels deliver a top speed of 25 knots. Pricing starts at about $4 million.

Arcadia A96

Cross a spacious Miami high-rise penthouse with a Canyon Ranch spa and the result could be this new 96-foot superyacht from Italian builder Arcadia. Boasting a remarkable 4,300 square feet of total living space, there’s room for 12 guests and five crew. And the living spaces even expand, courtesy of fold-down terraces in the main salon and on the rear deck. But the yacht’s focus on wellness and healthy living sets it apart. That expansive, teak-decked foredeck, spanning over 500 square feet, is perfect for yoga sessions or meditation, while the cockpit and beach club offer another 1,000 square feet of social space. For extra peace and quiet at anchor, solar panels can provide up to nine hours of generator-free power.

Numarine 26XP Fast

Think of it as offering pace, with space. Turkish yard Numarine has been building its bold 85-foot 26XP explorer style mini-superyacht since 2018, but later this year, it will launch the U.S.-focused 26XP Fast. Instead of slow-churning 435 hp diesels and nine-knot cruising, it’s bolting-in a pair of mighty 1,800 hp MAN V12s and modifying the hull to deliver a top speed of 31 knots. What hasn’t changed is the XP’s cavernous interior and expensive deck space. Take the top-deck flybridge which, thanks to the yacht’s 21-foot beam and far-forward helm, spans over 700 square feet. That space will include a dining table for eight, a full outdoor kitchen, and more lounges than a Saint-Tropez beach bar. Prices start from $6.95 million.

THE LATEST TRENDS IN MODERN HOUSE DESIGN AND DECORATING

• Modern Interiors

Best Modern Yacht Interior Designs

Yacht interior designs aren’t featured on sources that aren’t dedicated to yachts very often. And that’s a shame, really. One look at these amazing designs will make you want to renovate your home. While the yacht exterior design is something for boat enthusiasts to discern, interior aficionados will definitely swoon over these wood-clad living rooms, industrial chic kitchens, and hotel-like bedrooms.

Best Yacht Interior Designs

Yachts may differ in size but their interiors are as luxurious as they get. Crystal chandeliers, ultra chic furnishings, and lacquered wood will make any boat look and feel lavish. Just like most resplendent residences these yacht interior designs boast marble bathrooms and sprawling dining rooms, tiered ceilings and hardwood floors along with amenities of boutique hotels.

Superyacht Logica 147

Superyacht Logica 147 is a stylish black and white boat designed by Brenta Yacht Design . Its interior, however, is a whole other world telling a story of luxury living with sprawling dining areas, outdoor decks, and light-filled bedrooms.

Decorated by  Martin Kemp Design  the luxurious yacht has a neutral color scheme, sophisticated furnishings, and statement lighting fixtures in the dining area that create an overpowering luxurious feel in the entire room.

Compagnie Du Ponant

Jean Philippe Nuel  has made Compagnie Du Ponant yacht into an epitome of elegance. An ultra light color scheme is accented with aqua blue accents and creative nautical details. Sophisticated smart furnishings further promote the elegant aesthetic that masterfully mixes luxury and minimalist design solutions.

From the first or even second look Compagnie Du Ponant doesn’t seem like a yacht but rather appears as a very expensive boutique hotel or apartment.

CRN 43 MY Lady Trudy

CRN 43 M/Y Lady Trudy is a gorgeous mix of traditional and modern styles. Its white interiors are finished and accented with dark wooden floors and furnishings. White cabinetry allows to visually enhance the space in rooms like the main seating room and kitchen.

It’s the latter that brings a bit of industrial aesthetic with its modern stoves, though. A farmhouse sink makes for a very rustic accent that helps to amplify the contrast between the old and new.

CRN 130 M/Y Darlings Danama

CRN  is known for its gorgeous mega and superyachts. Darlings Danama presents a mix of modern and high-tech design, but more in aesthetic than functionality, though. Its minimalist furnishings show interesting curvilinear shapes and ambient lighting accents certain lines reflecting in a glossy ceiling.

Designed in a light color scheme the interiors that feature rare darker accents look light and bright even with the window curtains closed.

CRN 125 M/Y J’Ade

Another yacht in the  CRN ‘s fleet is a 125 M/Y J’Ade that has an incredibly luxurious interior design. Besides the lavish living areas and sophisticated bedrooms, though, there is a green mosaic tiled sauna outfitted with fiber optic lighting bringing a different feel than the rest of the interiors.

A stainless steel chef’s kitchen is another amenity that looks different to the wood-clad hallways, captain’s deck, and even an exercise room.

Far Away Canados 36

Francesco Paszkowski Design ‘s award-winning Far Away Canados yacht interior is full of sophisticated elegance. Glossy rounded surfaces give it an ultra modern look while the neutral color scheme and sophisticated furnishings make for a fresh bright look.

Built-in lighting that has not only a functional purpose but also adds a color accent to the decor prevails over lighting fixtures. And while it’s a very boutique style interior there are plenty of practical design solutions in all of its rooms.

Galactica Super Nova Yacht

Conceived by a Dutch shipyard  Heesen Yachts  Galactica Super Nova Yacht is a design that represents luxury in every inch. Wherever you look there are different wooden accents, layers of walls and ceilings, and lots of inbuilt lights.

The neutral color scheme is accented with statement pieces like a sculptured wall partition and a small-scale ship model used as a display object echoed in a painting decorating the dining area.

Suerte Tankoa Yachts 69

With retro futurism being largely out favor it was surprising to see Suerte Tankoa Yachts 69 interior by Francesco Paszkowski Design . Looking quite retro with its wooden paneling and grey black details this bedroom works in so many ways.

In other rooms of the yacht the retro-futuristic aesthetic persists coupled with modern luxury design solutions and materials.

Sunseeker’s Flagship 155 Yacht

Unveiled at the 2014 London International Boat Show  Sunseeker’s Flagship 155 yacht  features an interior design that would easily fit into a boutique hotel. The concept is focused on a classic combination of dark wooden accents and a neutral color scheme.

Luxurious materials and an ultra sleek design, though, take it from traditional to ultra modern. Built-in lighting, modern furniture and lots of glass and other reflective surfaces make the interior look very glamorous.

Twizzle S/Y by Todhunter Earle Interiors

Twizzle S/Y , a concept designed by Todhunter Earle Interiors, features a kitchen that could rival that of a land residence. Shiny countertops and state-of-the-art technology coupled together make for an inviting cooking area albeit a bit tight in space.

The kitchen might not be the most important part of a luxury yacht but if love of cooking or long sailing trips aren’t good reasons for a clever yacht kitchen design then we don’t know what is.

Twizzly M/Y by Todhunter Earle Interiors

Todhunter Earle Interiors’s Twizzle M/Y is another example of an elegant yacht interior design. Bearing a hint of mid-century modern style the yacht looks like a boutique hotel with a formal dining area and luxe bathroom design.

Using artworks and live flowers the designers give the yacht a lively feel. And mixing minimalist and statement pieces they keep it inviting but luxurious.

Cantiere Delle Marche Darwin 107

Cantiere Delle Marche Darwin 107  called Storm  may be a luxurious boat but on the inside there is a toned down inviting interior design. Finished with wood and neutral grey carpets the yacht makes a perfect family retreat.

Boasting a few outdoor seating areas Storm is a great example of traditional decor complemented with designing accents and prints to make it less boring.

Abeking & Rasmussen Yacht Romea

With an interior fit for a luxurious 5-star hotel  Abeking Rasmussen Yacht Romea is a 81-meter boat that also attracts attention in the sea. Terence Disdale ensured the insides matched the status of the luxurious vessel creating the interior design that deserves its own magazine spread.

Designed in a neutral color scheme it has modeled ceilings, built-in lighting, and even columns that give the interiors a more dramatic feel. The yacht’s spacious bedroom with a soft platform bed has an interesting textured ceiling design that diffuses the built-in lights into a gentle glowing halo.

Baraka Turquoise Yacht

Many yacht interior designs feature neutral color schemes that call for bright accents. Incongruous with the name Baraka Turquoise this yacht by Francesco Paszkowski Design  features violet throw pillows in the bedroom and red accents in the living area that jazz up the neutral decor.

Besides the throw pillows the yacht has a bright artwork in the hallway that ties the color scheme all together with its white, black, red, and violet colors.

Khalilah First All-Carbon  49 Superyacht

Khalilah is a world’s first superyacht made entirely out of a carbon composite. The golden boat may look like a sports car of yachts from the outside but on the inside you’ll find it is designed with a surprising boho chic aesthetic and a hint of retro.

White walls and tiered ceiling have a warm contrast in hardwood flooring and mostly white furnishings are accented with bright throw pillows and hot pink curtains. And in the middle of it all is a metallic octopus-shaped chandelier.

CRN 55m Atlante Luxury Yacht

It’s hard to stay away from CRN yachts for long. They are luxurious from inside out. 55m M/Y Atlante  luxury yacht is the proof that yacht facilities such as bathrooms can be as glamorous (if not more) as the rest of the interior.

Dressed in black and white veiny marble the wood-clad ceiling bath has a metal-framed glass shower stall and an amazing built-in sink. Atlante definitely has one of the most luxurious yacht interior designs out there.

CRN 129 M/Y Chopi Chopi

CRN ‘s Chopi Chopi is a another amazing yacht. It’s not only impressive from the outside but has incredible interiors. Decked out in wood the spacious seating areas are furnished with soft couches and plush carpets.

Indoor/outdoor rooms include a dining area and a home office. Yes, a home office. On a yacht. Why not? Many of these are as good for the living as they are for writing emails and answering phone calls.

Palmer Johnson’s Dragon yacht has one of the best yacht interior designs by  Nuvolari-Lenard . Taking cues from the boat’s name the designer cleverly organized space into divided zones and used dark wooden accents to accentuate the reds in the color scheme.

Using ceiling details and wall paneling the designer plays with red, white, and black creating layers and layers of color.

Sinnex Yachts My Nirvana

Among the most mind-boggling yacht interior designs is My Nirvana by Sinnex Yachts  that is a real treat when it comes to luxury. Just its spacious formal dining room could compete with a half of one of these yachts. The backlit columns with realistic-looking patterns and amazing printed floors set a green color scheme balanced with black and white walls and ceiling.

Among other amazing features there is a cinema and an atrium that turn this boat into an ultimate sailing resort.

MYSORAH by Patrick Knowles Design

When it comes to traditional boat interiors Patrick Knowles Design might be the designer for it.  MYSORAH  is how we imagine traditional luxury yacht interior designs. There are neutral colors enhanced with light and dark wood. Blue accents that remind of the interior’s nautical origins.

Classy, reserved, and sophisticated this boat manages to look interesting and eye catchy even with all the conservative design solutions in place.

ISA63M by Patrick Knowles Design

Now Knowles’s ISA 63 yacht design is something different. There are incredible prints, colorful accents, and whimsical furniture pieces decorating the white and light wood interior.

Numerous details constantly attract the eye and make for an incredible general look that manages to stay functional and at times even traditional.

Riva 88 Florida Yacht

Riva 88 Florida  by Officina Italiana Design may look modest in comparison to many of these other yacht interior designs but its stylish design is as clear as its lines. Dressed in wood and featuring lots of built-in lighting the yacht is filled with nautical blue accents that still don’t take it into the territory of traditional design.

Thanks to numerous sleek metallic accents the interiors look somehow smart and modern. In the bedroom the lack of space is leveled with a big mirror and a reflective ceiling.

Solandge Superyacht

If you are truly into luxury a $1 million/week Solandge Superyacht  is a way to go. 93 meter (280 ft) boat is designed with such extravagant luxury it’s ridiculous. And it’s probably the most expensive one of all charters. Aside from the marble-topped nightstands there is a swimming pool, a formal dining room, a gym, and a sauna.

Furnished with the most luxurious materials the boat is definitely made for exuberant millionaire vacations and parties with a bar, a hot tub deck, and all the water activities.

Yacht interior designs can surely be unique. Some of these yacht interior designs would look right at home with the  modern mansions or luxury penthouses. But it’s not enough to just have a yacht today. Its interiors must have personality and character apart from style and luxury.

What’s on Trend in Yacht Interior Design for 2021?

NEWS | October 06, 2020

Marble and quartz. Light woods. Off whites and soft Champagne color. Japandi. Glass and chrome. Minimalism... The design trends for 2021 borrow from the past while looking toward the future. The teams at Horizon’s two in-house Design Centers discuss the trends they are implementing in both smaller and larger yachts while lending their expertise to styles and looks that will inspire and turn heads in 2021.

1 | THE PALETTE A warm and neutral color palette is the background of the 2021 yacht interior. Unlike the Scandi style that favors pure white, a warm or neutral background complements muted colors and natural hues, like brown and beige. No longer boring and conservative, beige has seen a comeback for providing a serene neutral tone upon which textures and pops of color can add visual interest. Champagnes and other variations of beige add elegance while grey and black accents add drama without being overbearing.

The 2021 interior design finds common ground between bright and cold colors. Add cooler hues of muted pink, blue and green, warmed up with earthy details and wooden elements. Pops of color can also be introduced, but only when used sporadically so as to not interrupt the harmony of the design.

2 | NATURAL ELEMENTS Natural, tactile accents are on trend for 2021, so invite nature to join you onboard! Choose high quality furniture constructed of simple and natural materials, such as mid-toned wood with exposed grain. Match furniture with natural, textured fabrics like linen.

Light woods are a popular material for yacht interiors as they create a comfortable, homey atmosphere. This material can be used not only for flooring, but also for wall coverings and ceilings. Use light, untreated woods to highlight multipurpose spaces.

When working with a neutral space, texture is key. Add interest by combining different yet complementary materials and textures for a touch of natural simplicity. For warmth, soft, tactile fabrics make a space cozier. Add linen cushions, fuzzy rugs in a plain color, a statement wall art piece in neutral tones, or a living plant to serve as a focalpoint – what better way to achieve the natural look and blend the indoors with the outdoors than with plants and greenery!

3 | FINISHES Natural elements like wood, metal, glass and stone are the dominant materials in 2021. Coated metals in bronze, iron grey or black lend an unobtrusive, yet refined look, and are swiftly usurping polished stainless steel. Thanks to advances in technology, engineered stone is now a great alternative to natural stone. It is durable, non-porous, and offers a variety of unique patterns and high-contrast veining.

In the galley, eschew shiny surfaces for relaxing, matte finishes. Only metal accents should shine in this space. Stylish galley designs blend wood with concrete, metal with stone, or glass with artificial materials. It’s also a space where you can have fun, so be bold by combining various textures of one material or similar materials in different colors.

Luxurious head design remains a focus for 2021. White marble or quartz are timeless and sophisticated materials that can be used for flooring and wall coverings as well as countertops, and beautifully complement woods and metal accents for an instantly luxurious look.

4 | HIDDEN FUNCTIONALITY Because space is critical within a yacht’s interior, multifunctional furniture provides flexibility and versatility. A foldable dining table can be transformed to a sofa table or breakfast bar to permit open space for gathering or wider circulation. The hi/lo table can be casual at coffee table height or formal at dining height, and an extendable function fulfills the needs for both intimate family dinners or a large feast. Keep in mind, however, that these pieces should not only be functional and fit the space, but must be visually interesting as well.

Solid cabinet doors hiding shelves and organizers are also on trend for 2021. Floor-to-ceiling galley cabinets are both functional and stylish, or a modern galley can incorporate low cabinets only for a spacious and luxurious look.

5 | LIGHTING Never underestimate the importance of lighting in yacht design! Highlight natural lighting wherever possible, taking care to not block windows or incorporate heavy furniture or cabinetry. Incorporate smart technology fiber optic lighting, which offers many advantages, such as being heat free, simple to install, safe, precise, durable and easily maintained. Fiber optic lighting also allows for a variety of colors and programmed settings that can shift from starry night to party mode at the touch of a button.

Less clutter and cleaner lines define 2021’s look, and simple lighting designs blend perfectly into modern decors. Low-profile fixtures with soft colors and simple geometric designs that follow the Minimalism trend are becoming even more popular. Linear fixtures and track lights also bring harmony and the perfect amount of intentional light to a space.

6 | MATERIALS Complementing the neutral palette and natural finishes, a textured fabric or wallpaper with contoured lines, vivid patterns or colors remains popular.

Leather is another preferred and durable material, as it brings a sense of quality and luxury to an interior, holds up against sun exposure and wears well when cared for. Incorporate leather into your interior as an accent piece, a wall covering, or a piece of furniture for that casually elegant look.

While design preferences differ by market, Modern and Contemporary will be the preferred styles in 2021. Favored in the U.S. market, Modern styling displays bold lines, warm woods and the use of symmetry of space to create a balanced aesthetic. Popular in Europe and Australia, Contemporary styling embraces curved shapes, organic accents and rounded edges. This style welcomes variations and is always evolving, and works well with cooler hues and the latest interior gadgets. Both of these styles successfully execute the simplicity, neutral and natural color palettes, artistic touches and openness described above – perfect for creating a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere on board.

Luxury at Sea: The Ultimate Guide to Yacht Interior Design

Introduction to yacht interior design.

Yacht interior design is an artful mix of beauty, elegance and tech . Aesthetics coupled with functional designs give a unique experience on board. Color palettes and use of space are carefully thought out for a luxe feel .

Creating yacht interiors needs close attention to detail . Colors, furniture, accessories and lighting fixtures contribute to the ambiance. Owners, designers and builders work together to bring the desired look to life.

Eco-friendly materials are a growing trend in yacht interior design. Energy-efficient lighting systems and recyclable furniture create a more sustainable environment.

Functionality and luxurious aesthetics must be balanced to make the experience unforgettable. Hidden storage areas are essential to keep necessary items on hand without detracting from the look.

Factors to Consider when Designing Yacht Interiors

To optimize your yacht’s interior design, keep in mind key factors like space, materials, and style. Aim for maximum layout optimization, while choosing durable materials that harmonize with the yacht’s aesthetics. Explore the overall style and aesthetics to bring luxury and comfort to the high seas.

Space and Layout Optimization

Designing a yacht’s interior requires consideration of multiple factors. To optimize space and create a stunning look, customizing every aspect is key. This includes functional spaces like saloons, galleys, staterooms, and communal areas .

Layout optimization calls for proper circulation flow. Designers must choose materials that are attractive, functional, and durable. Cabinetry design is also important, as it provides storage and adds visual value.

Lighting and color choices can also be used to optimize space. Lighter hues on walls give an illusion of space in low deck height ceilings. LED lighting strips can be used to show off custom features at night.

Pro Tip : Don’t overcrowd the interior with furniture; instead, opt for hidden or collapsible features that offer multiple functions while maximizing available square footage. Invest in materials that will last longer than your last relationship .

Material Selection and Durability

Material selection is key for a yacht interior that is both beautiful and long-lasting. Strength, durability, appearance, and cost should all be taken into account.

Some common materials used for yacht interiors are:

• Leather: Durable, soft, and comfortable.
• Wood: Classic look, versatile, and strong.
• Marble: Elegant, costly, and easy to clean.
• Fabric: Plenty of colors and textures.

Each material has its own pros and cons. For example, leather may be long-lasting and comfortable, but it can crack over time if not properly cared for. Water resistance and ease of cleaning should also be considered. Anti-microbial fabrics or wood finishes can keep mold and mildew at bay. High traffic areas need tougher materials. Cabins, on the other hand, can have more delicate fabrics as they don’t get much use.

Sturdy materials are ideal when it comes to yacht interiors – they should be able to withstand wear and tear and maximize space utilization. Luxury and practicality should always be balanced. After all, no one wants to slip on marble floors in high seas!

Overall Style and Aesthetics

Designing yacht interiors requires consideration of style and aesthetics . Color schemes, materials, and furniture placement all come into play. A theme or style such as contemporary or traditional can be used. It must be both functional and beautiful, yet luxurious.

Details are key – moldings, lighting fixtures, and spacing of furniture. For instance, a modern-elegant, yet comfortable interior was designed for a client. Neutral tones were accented with gold finishes. Luxurious leather furnishings, custom cabinetry, and high-quality finishes completed the look.

From grandeur to minimalism, yacht interior design themes let you feel like a billionaire – in any boat!

Popular Yacht Interior Design Themes

When designing a contemporary yacht interior, functionality should not be sacrificed for aesthetics. Creating an efficient use of space while maintaining charm is crucial. A classic yacht interior design is timeless, elegant and never goes out of style. There are unlimited options for creating beautiful contemporary yacht interiors. From selecting exquisite materials to blending colors, planning your dream sail-away destination has endless possibilities.

Classic Yacht Interior Design

Classic yachts feature luxurious interior designs. Rich fabrics like velvet and damask, mahogany wood, teak, leather, and silk create an opulent atmosphere. Intricate details like hand-carved woodwork, crystal chandeliers, and brass fixtures make these vessels stand out.

The Christina O is a classic yacht owned by Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis. Its interior includes a grand piano played by Frank Sinatra . Even outdoor spaces are adorned with luxurious elements like jacuzzis made from 24-carat gold tiles .

A classic yacht interior never goes out of style . It’s like having a time machine that can transport you to 1920s glamour.

Art Deco Yacht Interior Design

Art Deco is a well-known yacht interior design theme that blends opulent materials with geometric shapes for an exotic look. Chrome, oversized mirrors, glossy wood, and luxurious leather upholstery are all staples of this style. Popular in the 1920s and 30s, Art Deco has continued to inspire modern designers.

Streamlined curves, high-gloss finishes, and contrasting textures, colors, and patterns are the unique features of this yacht interior design. Ornate detailing on furniture like zebra stripes or faux fur throws add richness. Bold geometric tiles and velvet cushions create an elegant atmosphere.

For a successful Art Deco design, layer textures logically . Consider a swirling patterned carpet beneath a lampshade or aviator chairs beneath tiled tables. Exercise restraint while adopting elements. Balance texture playfulness and simplicity for a cohesive look . Transform your yacht interior into a luxury hotel suite and enjoy room service with a wave.

Furniture and Furnishing Ideas for Yacht Interiors

To amp up the interior design of your luxury yacht, check out some furniture and furnishing ideas that can make all the difference. Upgrade your yacht with better seating arrangements, smarter storage solutions, and fancier lighting fixtures.

Seating Arrangements

Seating arrangements are key for yacht interiors. It is important to pick furniture that looks good and offers both comfort and functionality. Let us check out some seating ideas for your yacht.

For a unique touch in your yacht interiors, consider adding seating like bean bags or hanging chairs . These alternative options can add a fun and relaxing feel to your space.

One client wanted a circular sofa for their yacht’s saloon. This sofa had cushions that could be changed into various shapes. This unique and versatile piece gave different seating options for the clients’ guests and also saved space on their yacht.

These storage solutions will make your yacht more spacious, or give you somewhere to hide all those empty champagne bottles!

Storage Solutions

On the hunt for storage solutions for your yacht’s interior? Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Install built-in cabinets and shelves that match the yacht’s decor.

For a touch of sophistication, opt for materials like teak wood or stainless steel – they are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Don’t let clutter ruin the luxury of yachting. Put everything in its place and make your interior visually appealing. Take control of the organization and get ready to show off your yacht in style. Now, unleash your inner designer and let your yacht sparkle with these storage solutions.

Lighting Fixtures

Lighting in yacht interiors serves more than one purpose. It illuminates the space and adds to the ambiance. Different types of lighting are used for different functions.

For example:

• Overhead lighting: Main source of illumination
• Accent lighting: To highlight specific features
• Task lighting: Specific activities like reading or cooking

Installing dimmer switches is recommended for adjustable lighting intensity. LED lights are energy efficient and long lasting. Choose light fixtures that fit the style and complement the yacht’s existing furnishings. For example, modern yachts may use contemporary fixtures while traditional yachts may use brass.

Art and Decor for Yacht Interiors

To create a stunning yacht interior, look no further than the art and decor techniques in this guide. Enhance the look and feel of your yacht interior by incorporating painting and murals, sculptures and artifacts, and textile and upholstery design. Each sub-section offers unique solutions for creating a luxurious and personalized atmosphere on your yacht.

Painting and Murals

Artwork is essential for yacht interiors. Paintings and Murals bring sophistication and elegance . They add depth, character, and warmth to the decor. Paintings are focal points, without distracting from other elements . Murals can be customized to reflect the owner’s unique style.

Painting creates intimacy in larger yachts. Commissioned artwork allows owners to work with an artist for a personalized masterpiece. Smaller cabins can benefit from paintings that reflect each passenger’s personality. Different colors and textures help create a relaxed atmosphere. They balance the design elements and create breathtaking visuals.

Paintings have been used to transform spaces for centuries. Steve Penley was commissioned by Carolina Outdoor Recreational Equipment (CORE) for their Rinker 29QX project. When decorating a yacht, consider adding custom-made paintings by established artists. Elevate the yacht interior’s decorative style with artwork that enhances the overall mood. And, of course, nothing says ‘luxury’ quite like a giant golden sculpture of yourself!

Pro Tip: Ensure the pieces are fastened securely in place – no moving around during bumpy rides! For an extra comfort level, why not try a plush velvet cushion from the yacht interior’s textile and upholstery design section?

Textile and Upholstery Design

Aesthetics are crucial for yacht owners to increase the appeal of their vessels. Textile and Upholstery Design is one way to heighten the atmosphere of their interiors. Fabric selection is key. Pick sturdy, top-notch fabric that matches the décor. Colors should complement the scheme, cabinetry, and furniture in the area. Adding comfort with customized cushions and pillows will tie it all together.

Window treatments such as curtains, blinds, or shutters are also part of the design. It should express the owner’s style while taking into consideration the space available.

Yacht Interiors: More Than 5 Latest Trends in Expanding Luxury

Welcome to an exciting exploration of the latest trends in expanding luxury yacht interiors. We thought to delve into the world of interior design for superyachts and discover the innovative and stylish concepts that are shaping the industry. From the prime real estate of exterior decks to the fusion of modern and retro elements, we will uncover the creative ideas that are transforming yacht interiors into true works of art. Get ready to be inspired by the curving shapes, bold colors, and green design trends that are revolutionising the world of luxury yacht interiors. So, hop on board for more!

Exterior Decks as Prime Real Estate for Superyacht Pools

Exterior decks on luxury yachts have become a sought-after area, used to install lavish swimming pools. Not only do they provide guests with a refreshing respite from the ocean, but they also infuse the yacht interiors with a sense of grandeur. Strategically situated on the deck, these pools offer breathtaking views of the sea, allowing passengers to immerse themselves in the scenery. Careful consideration is taken when designing these pools, to ensure they fit in with the yacht’s aesthetic while also offering a functional and attractive feature.

As the demand for opulent yacht interiors rises, designers are incorporating curves and gentle contours into both the yacht interiors and the exteriors. These sinuous shapes bring a sense of grace and gracefulness to the yacht, enhancing its allure. By including these design elements on the deck, the exterior is aesthetically pleasing and flows with the environment. Whether it’s the curved lines of the seating area or the curved sunbed, these design choices add a touch of sophistication to the exterior for a truly luxurious experience.

Smaller yacht models are taking advantage of the foredeck to install dip pools. This prime area allows for the most efficient use of space while also adding a touch of charm. These dip pools not only provide a pleasant escape but also serve as a centerpiece on the foredeck, adding a touch of grandeur. These pools are perfect for lounging or taking a quick dip, making them a favorite among yacht owners and passengers.

Recently, a retro revival has been seen in yacht interior design, with bright colors and loud patterns dominating. This trend brings a sense of liveliness and vivacity to the yacht’s interior, creating a fun and playful atmosphere. From vivid upholstery to vintage-style accessories, these audacious design choices add a sense of nostalgia to the yacht’s aesthetic. By incorporating these elements into the exterior decks, a vibrant and captivating area is created, blending modern and retro to create a unique look.

Curving Shapes and Soft Lines in Interior and Exterior Design

Creating a luxurious atmosphere with the addition of curving shapes and soft lines is a trend that is becoming increasingly popular in yachting. These elements provide an air of elegance and sophistication to the overall aesthetic. Yacht Interiors boast plush couches and chairs with rounded edges to create a welcoming environment, while exterior design incorporates curved lines into the hull and deck, giving the yacht a sleek and streamlined look. Aside from the aesthetic benefits, these design elements are also advantageous in terms of functionality; they help to optimize space utilization and improve the flow of movement on board.

Achieving the perfect balance between form and function is essential when incorporating curved shapes and soft lines into a yacht’s interior and exterior. From the selection of fabrics to the choice of lighting fixtures, every detail must be taken into consideration to create a cohesive and harmonious design. Upholstery with gentle curves, such as velvet or silk, can be used to bring a sense of opulence to the interior. On the exterior, curved glass windows and balustrades can be used to make the yacht look modern and stylish. By carefully integrating these features into the yacht’s design, designers are able to create a luxurious space that is both beautiful and practical.

Placement of Dip Pools on the Foredeck of Smaller Models

The incorporation of dip pools on the foredeck of smaller vessels has become an increasingly popular trend in luxury yacht architecture design. This creative technique maximizes the use of space on smaller yachts, allowing for an invigorating and tranquil pool experience without sacrificing other amenities. Strategically positioning the dip pool on the foredeck, architects are capable of blending the pool and the majestic oceanic views into a unified and harmonious whole. This placement not only upgrades the overall look of the yacht, but also provides a unique and remarkable experience for passengers on board.

By having the dip pool on the foredeck, smaller models can provide a lavish and refreshing oasis in the midst of the ocean. Passengers can take a dip while admiring the stunning panoramic sights, inducing a sense of serenity and calmness. The positioning of the pool on the foredeck also grants easy access from other areas of the yacht, making it a convenient and attractive feature for guests to enjoy. This progressive design approach showcases the inventiveness and ingenuity of yachtsmen in creating remarkable spaces within restricted dimensions.

Moreover, the addition of dip pools on the foredeck of smaller models adds a touch of sophistication and opulence to the overall design. The architectural design of the pool seamlessly merges with the neighboring deck, forming a visually stunning and unified effect. The utilization of superior materials and sleek lines further enhances the modern and sumptuous atmosphere of the yacht. This integration of design components ensures that the dip pool becomes a centerpiece of the yacht, attracting attention and admiration from all who behold it.

The addition of dip pools on the foredeck of smaller models is an indication of the ever-changing world of luxury yacht architecture design. As architects continue to push boundaries and explore new possibilities, these innovative approaches allow for the construction of extraordinary and remarkable spaces within smaller yachts. The placement of the dip pool on the foredeck not only elevates the overall aesthetic appeal, but also provides an unparalleled experience for guests. With its smooth integration and exquisite design, this trend is set to redefine the concept of luxury yacht interiors.

Retro Revival with Bold Colors and Loud Patterns

A surge of retro vibes with audacious colors and vibrant patterns is making its way back to luxury yacht interiors. Designers are embracing the nostalgia of the past by incorporating flashy hues and eye-catching prints into their works. From psychedelic illustrations to geometric shapes, these vintage elements bring a lively and fun atmosphere to the vessel’s interior. The use of bright tones like electric blue, blazing red, and sunny yellow give a sense of energy and excitement, making the boat stand out from the monochrome designs. This trend is perfect for those wanting to make a declaration and insert a dint of individuality into their boat’s interior.

The incorporation of retro patterns and colors is not exclusive to furniture and decorations. Yacht designers are also exploring this trend in the selection of materials and coatings. Lustrous surfaces, metallic accents, and textured wallpapers are just some of the methods in which designers are introducing retro elements. These brave finishes create a visual impact and offer profundity and dimension to the inner areas. The combination of retro patterns and luxurious materials heightens the overall appearance of the boat, providing an exceptional and unforgettable experience for its occupants.

Retro revival with intense colors and loud patterns is not merely about looks; it also reflects a transition towards a livelier and expressive lifestyle. The use of bold colors and patterns encourages creativity and self-expression, permitting boat owners to show their unique style and personality. This trend is ideal for those wishing to move away from traditional and minimalistic designs, deciding instead for a more animated and dynamic environment. By incorporating retro elements, boat interiors become a canvas for self-expression, forming a space that is truly extraordinary.

Furthermore, the retro revival trend is not just about aesthetics. It also aligns with the increasing emphasis on environmentally-friendly design. Many boat owners are now selecting retro-inspired furnishings and materials made from recycled or repurposed materials. By choosing vivid colors and loud patterns in eco-friendly materials, boat owners can  reduce environmental impact  while still enjoying a stylish and vivacious interior. This combo of retro aesthetics and sustainable design creates a winning combination in the world of luxury boat interiors.

Focus on the Stern Area in Yacht Interiors Layouts

When it comes to luxury yachts, the aft section has become a major focus of recent layouts. Creative minds have been hard at work to come up with innovative and practical ideas for this space. One of the most popular trends is the utilization of rounded edges and gentle curves , which not only bring an air of sophistication but also improve the overall look and feel of the vessel. In this way, a smooth transition is created between the internal and external areas, creating a unified and harmonious design.

The aft area is also being used for a variety of purposes, from entertainment to relaxation. Owners are keen to see spaces that can accommodate large groups of people and also provide ample seating. Features such as lounges, dining spaces and even outdoor cinemas are being incorporated into the design, allowing guests to make the most of their time on board. Utilizing rounded edges in these areas adds a modern touch and ensures a secure and comfortable environment for everyone.

Water features are being integrated into the aft area to provide an extra luxurious experience. Infinity pools, jacuzzis and other such amenities are added to the vessel, not only bringing a sense of opulence but also providing a tranquil and peaceful spot on board. The incorporation of rounded edges in these features adds a touch of elegance and further elevates the atmosphere.

As the aft area of yachts is gaining more attention, designers are pushing the boundaries of ingenuity and originality. Advanced technologies and materials are being employed to craft unique and functional spaces, tailored to the desires and needs of the owners. Whether it’s large outdoor lounges, sunbathing decks, or fully-equipped bars, the aft area is transforming itself into a multifaceted and luxurious area that adds immense value to the yacht.

Green Design Trends and Use of Glass in Yacht Interiors

The luxury yacht industry has shifted towards embracing eco-friendly practices, and glass has become a desirable addition to boat interiors. By installing glass partitions, skylights, and large windows, yachtsmen can bring the outdoors in, allowing for sweeping views of the surrounding sea. This not only increases the visual appeal of the yacht, but also reduces the need for artificial lighting during the day.

In addition to creating a brighter atmosphere, the incorporation of glass into yacht interiors fosters a connection with nature. Boaters can admire panoramic views of the water while feeling at one with their surroundings, creating a more tranquil and peaceful experience. Furthermore, natural sunlight is able to penetrate the space, resulting in a more energy-efficient atmosphere.

As well as utilizing glass, yacht owners are increasingly opting for sustainable materials. Reclaimed wood, recycled metals, and low VOC paints can all be used to decorate a boat interior, adding a touch of natural beauty while promoting a more eco-friendly environment.

Overall, green design trends are revolutionizing the way yacht interiors are designed. By incorporating glass and sustainable materials, yachtsmen can enjoy luxurious interiors that are also environmentally conscious. This combination of luxury and sustainability is transforming the industry, creating a better future for yacht ownership.

Tips from Yacht Interior Designers for Stylish and Modern Interiors

Creating an elegant and modern space on a superyacht requires the expertise of experienced interior designers. Here are their tips for achieving a luxurious and stylish look:

• Using earth tones , such as warm browns , soft beiges , and rich greens , can bring a sense of harmony and serenity to the vessel. Incorporating these hues in upholstery, wall coverings, and accessories can create a timeless and sophisticated atmosphere.
• Designers prioritize functionality without compromising on aesthetics. Incorporating multi-purpose furniture and hidden storage can help optimize the limited space available and create a sleek and modern look.
• Lighting is key in creating a stylish and modern ambiance. Utilizing a combination of natural light, task lighting, and ambient lighting can enhance the mood and atmosphere onboard.
• Keeping up with the latest design trends can add a fresh and dynamic touch to the interiors. Designers suggest experimenting with bold geometric patterns, incorporating eco-friendly materials, and embracing minimalist aesthetics.

Fusion of Modern and Retro Elements in Superyacht Interior Design

The combination of classic and contemporary styles in the opulence of superyacht interiors has become a trend in recent years. Designers are finding innovative ways to join these two aesthetics to form unique and visually captivating spaces. This fusion is often achieved through the utilization of sustainable materials, such as reclaimed wood, recycled metals, and eco-friendly fabrics, not only making the interior design more beautiful but also promoting eco-consciousness in the luxury yachting industry.

In addition to sustainable materials, vintage furniture and decor are frequently implemented when creating a blend of modern and retro elements. Mid-century modern pieces, with their simplistic lines and aesthetic, have become a popular choice. By putting together these antique items with contemporary furnishings and fixtures, the interior of the yacht is given a timeless vibe.

Lastly, bold colors and patterns are frequently used to infuse the space with a fun and nostalgic atmosphere . Retro-style wallpaper, vivid upholstery, and geometric prints are some of the ways in which designers add life and character to the yacht interiors. The utilization of such elements makes each yacht feel individual and inviting.

Circular Ceiling Accents in the MySky Yacht Design

The subtle addition of circular accents adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the atmosphere. These accents can be used to enhance the onboard lighting system, providing an array of cozy and natural light options.

The unique appeal of the circular ceiling accents can be further enhanced through various lighting options. By strategically placing fixtures within these features, designers can create an inviting and captivating ambience. From ambient lighting for a cozy evening to natural light for daytime activities, the circular accents provide versatility and allow for a personalized experience.

The Yacht Interiors Possibilities Are Endless

In conclusion, the ever-evolving world of luxury yacht interiors offers a fascinating glimpse into the cutting-edge design trends of today. So, while the article may come to a close, the exploration of cutting-edge design in luxury yacht interiors is a topic that will continue to evolve and intrigue for years to come, but if you feel like exploring more and need a shipyard’s advice, ptw Shipyard should you in your contact list.

Luxury Ralph Lauren-Inspired Townhouses Hit The Market in Moscow

The residences occupy a storied stretch of the russian capital.

T he flamboyant interiors that flourished in post–Soviet Russia have gradually given way to a fresher, more restrained approach to decor. Moscow’s latest luxury real-­estate offering—a set of limestone Beaux Arts–style townhouses aptly named Noble Row —eschews flash for a timeless, sophisticated look. The surprise element is in the development’s backstory: The six newly built residences, located in a tranquil lane just off historic Ostozhenka Street (the city’s Golden Mile), were inspired by American style icon Ralph Lauren .

Allegiance to the Lauren brand, it turns out, is not uncommon in the Russian capital, where the fashion label has two shops, crafted with help from New York architectural designer Gregory Tuck . When the devel opers of Noble Row, brothers Konstantin and Arkadiy Akimov, sought out Tuck, he jumped at the chance. “I was attracted to the courage of the endeavor,” he says. “Building at this level requires tremendous resources and patience.”

To ensure the interior craftsmanship was up to the highest standard, the brothers enlisted top Manhattan interiors firm Foley & Cox , whose principals, Mary Foley and Michael Cox, began their design careers at Ralph Lauren. “It was a refreshing exercise in global collaboration,” says Cox of the Noble Row creative roster, which includes Christopher Peacock (for the kitchens), Chesney’s (for the stone fireplaces), and Waterworks (for the bathroom fittings). For the walls, Chilean-born New York artist Marilu Nordenflycht created a series of charming ink and chalk drawings featuring equestrian scenes and figurative studies, which Cox describes as “modern interpretations of Matisse and Ellsworth Kelly sketches.”

To sweeten the deal, the Akimovs have fully furnished the 6,500-square-foot single-family townhouses—each crowned with a rooftop winter garden—exclusively with pieces by Ralph Lauren Home . So far the brothers’ tribute to the American designer is proving successful: Four of the six dwellings have already been sold. The remaining two are available for between $20 million and $25 million each. apdevelopment.ru
