Transforming a dated interior into a contemporary, elegant living space – while respecting the yacht’s original craftsmanship and proven build quality.

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

Bold and beautifully crafted – tailored to the last detail.

Taking an older vessel recognised for its robustness, reliability, and great navigability – ideal for both family cruises and fishing trips or recreational sailing…and creating a modern, quality and luxurious finish.

The Challenge

Like many early-2000s production yachts, the original interior featured heavy upholstery and beige-dominated tones. While structurally sound and well laid out, the Saloon felt visually tired and no longer aligned with modern owner expectations.

Each element of the refit was selected to modernise the space without overpowering it.

Starting with the Before’s, swipe to see the transformation.

Design & Execution

A key decision in this refit was the preservation of the original joinery. Rather than replacing the high-quality woodwork, we refinished and rebalanced it against a lighter, softer interior palette – a choice that maintains the Rodman’s character while elevating its quality and feel.

The Result

The finished interior feels bright, calm and modern.

  • The spaces now appear significantly larger and more open
  • Light fabrics and refined lighting dramatically improve ambience
  • The yacht no longer presents as a 2004 model
  • Comfort, usability and aesthetics have all been improved

A SETAG refit gives years of use and enjoyment to the owners, and also delivers a substantial uplift in perceived value – positioning this Rodman competitively alongside far newer vessels on the market.

This project perfectly reflects our philosophy:

Intelligent modernisation, respect for original craftsmanship, and uncompromising attention to detail.

Rather than following trends, the focus remains on timeless design, quality execution, and results that genuinely improve the owner experience.

Engineering & Systems


Alongside the interior transformation, SETAG Yachts delivered a series of comprehensive engineering and systems upgrades designed to improve reliability, usability, and long-term ownership confidence.

The refit included replacement of the onboard toilet system with new pipework throughout the vessel, enhancing performance and future-proofing critical systems. An engine-room camera was installed to provide clear monitoring from the helm, while integrated audio-visual upgrades included a concealed up/down television and Fusion sound system linked to the saloon. Feature lighting was engineered throughout, saloon air-conditioning upgraded for improved comfort, and the helm panels resprayed to restore a clean, modern finish.

The project was completed with full pick-up and delivery, providing a seamless turnkey service that removed complexity and stress for the client from start to finish.

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!

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.
