Saloon

The brief for this project was to create a more residential and calming feel to the space, whilst enhancing the original attributes of the saloon and dining area. This design invites you into a comfortable lounge area with ample seating for friends and family to enjoy a well-earned tipple or canapé. Two curvaceous loose armchairs by high-end furniture designer Holly Hunt open the space on the starboard side and provide a sense of homeliness, where you can settle down with a good book or enjoy the views aft through the cockpit. Exquisitely crafted chevron timber flooring now runs seamlessly into the helm area. Within the timber at the aft end of the saloon sits a shimmering rug insert by Kelly Wearstler at the Rug Company. The grey blue colouration and wave-like patterning hints at the open seas, immediately drawing your attention to the views on both the port and starboard.

We start with the images at launch, only you will understand the impact after years of enjoyment given to previous owners.

The custom bespoke sofa has been designed with high comfort expectations, incorporating a sprung-domed base and relaxed back cushions, creating a unique piece that is the ultimate in luxury. You are now able to sit and relax and enjoy uninterrupted views through the cockpit, thanks to what is now a chaise section at the aft end of the sofa. The curvaceous nature of the furniture elements in this seating area are echoed in the dining area, thanks to the introduction of a beautifully crafted walnut dining table and dining chairs by Italian designers Ceccotti. Plush furnishing fabrics and fresh line out materials are complimented with the harder elements of exquisite joinery and a custom-made art panel to the dining bulkhead that is softly backlit.

Beyond, the staircase bulkhead has been calmed, with the use of additional timber panelling and a beautifully simple but high-quality wall light fitting. Finally, by updating the previously dark window linings and sideboard frontage with much fresher choices, we have achieved a calming, elegant and modern space fit for today’s standard. The overall colour palette of grey and ink blues, deep moss green and fresh oyster whites further adds to the sense of tranquillity and provides a calming haven.

Master Cabin

The master cabin continues the language of the main saloon, with a restful ethos at the heart of the design. The use of custom-crafted plantation shutters not only adds a tailored luxury finish but also provides the ability to achieve a much higher level of blackout than other more conventional window dressings.

A beautiful contrast is achieved between deep gloss Macassar Ebony timber bulkheads and the fresh woven, patterned fabric to the headboard bulkhead. Elegant ceramic wall artwork with a dreamlike quality has been installed to optimise the feeling of tranquillity in this space. Underneath, the now plump headboard has been raised in height for extra comfort. The curvaceous language seen in the saloon is echoed with a hero dressing table chair by Italian designers Ceccotti, while the shapely breakfast chairs are custom-sized to suit this space perfectly. The breakfast table and bedside tables now showcase beautiful marble tops, which not only lift the space visually but also provide a practical solution. The elegant saddle-stitched leather that wraps the base of the breakfast table is beautifully echoed as a wrap around the side tables.

The headlining in both the saloon and master cabin has been simplified and lightened, adding in a fresh, hard finish with light textural material that provides extra interest on closer inspection. With its tranquil colour palette, ultra-comfortable bed and deeply plush carpet, this is now the perfect place to unwind after a long day at sea or a delicious supper at your nearby marina.

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.

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.

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.
