Transformative Elegance: The minimalist refit

After our refurbishment on the left. Before on the right hand side.

A luxury yacht already notable for its design, transformed through selective updates. The refit exemplifies the impact of thoughtful, precise enhancements that elevate the overall aesthetic and functionality while remaining the vessel’s original charm.

Seamless Sophistication

The Saloon was updated with a new sofa, coffee table, headlining and a redesigned TV unit – creating a cosy yet stylish living area. Additionally, new steps were installed into the entrance/Companionway , offering a welcoming and modern first impression.

Design Philosophy:

The design philosophy behind this refit project was to achieve a dramatic impact through minimal intervention. The quality of the design & craftsmanship lies in its subtlety; the updates blend seamlessly with the original elements, making it difficult to distinguish between what is new and what was always there. This approach ensures the yacht retains its classic appeal while embracing modern enhancements.

Retained Areas:

We maintained the Heads & Forward cabin as they were in excellent condition and we, and the owner, wanted to avoid unnecessary changes so these were left untouched, aside from new carpet – showcasing a strategic approach to the refit.

Exterior Overhaul

The dash & helm has been completely redesigned, painted and equipped with integrated, modern navigation and control systems. This transformation not only improves functionality but also contributes to the sleek, contemporary feel of the yacht.

To blend the exterior with the refreshed interior; the wet bar & sliding roof have been painted to align with the yacht’s new aesthetic. Previously, the black roof appeared aggressive and disjointed from the rest of the design. The new colour scheme creates a cohesive look, enhancing the yacht’s overall appeal.

Unmistakably SETAG

All exterior upholstery has been redesigned & replaced including transforming the original helm bench-seat into 2 individual seats, and a new Cockpit table manufactured & installed – ensuring that the outdoor spaces are as comfortable and stylish as the new sleek interior.

Delighted SETAG customer - Squadron 42 owner
Brilliant concept...new boat look and feel at pre-owned prices - by the industry experts. Recycling at its best!
Briony Newington - Founding Partner, Fairline Yachts.
The great thing is, none of this is off the shelf - I love this boat and now she’s got her frock on...this is the best money I've spent.
Delighted SETAG customer - Princess 61 owner
If you want to redefine, refit and remaster your boat who better to do it than the people who designed it in the first place? "What a fantastic idea!"
Miles Morehouse – Marketing Director, Fairline
We cannot recommend the SETAG team highly enough. If you love your current boat, then for a fraction of the cost to change it, have it SETAG’d. The SY branding certainly helped us obtain a premium price. We got what we paid for her in 2017 plus what we spent with you!
Delighted SETAG customer - Targa 50GT owner
I have worked with Chris for over 30 years and I’m pleased to see him develop his own brand - along with likeminded people with industry-leading expertise. The future is bright for Setag Yachts and pre-owned yacht owners, who can now refurbish their vessels to today’s - or even tomorrow's standards.
David King - Founder, Princess Yachts.
That has been one of the key selling points for us – having that personalised service and having a boat that is unique to us – is standout in its own right. We are pretty blown away…very very pleased. I think it’s fabulous…it has transformed the boat.
Delighted SETAG customer - Targa 47 owner
The perfect way to open up a new market: the "true reflection of luxury". Setag gets it: simplicity and personalisation are key – with the depth of knowledge to deliver.
James Barke – Managing Director of Boats.co.uk
Setag are probably the only company who can carry out all the tasks as a ‘one stop shop’. Other yards were reluctant to price work and needed to subcontract many tasks meaning higher costs and longer lead times. If you are in any doubt speak to Chris and his team, they know boats like no one else.
Delighted SETAG customer - Princess 460 Owner
We have been waiting for this quality of service: a comprehensive, professional refit that we can rely on – because of the pedigree of its staff, with over 200 years' experience in our market.

You have put Princess magic into our beloved Broom.
Delighted SETAG customer - Broom 370 owner
Never have I come across a more able collection of professionals in this market. We have complete trust in Setag, since its team has been in the business for as long as we can remember. We're very excited to welcome this specialist refit company into our portfolio.
