At a Glance –

The owners, Mr & Mrs Hildyard, first engaged with us at Southampton International Boat Show in 2021 and were encouraged by our proposal of breathing new life into their beloved but dated yacht.

The entire scheme was centred around adding a modern luxurious feel to their family loved yacht – creating an environment for all to enjoy. We consciously specified beautiful yet tough easy to clean materials that are stain-resistant and cleanable – introducing livable luxury.

The refit “has given the boat a new lease of life…Coming on now, for the first time, we recognise it as our boat… but the smell and the quality of it, now it just feels like a brand new boat.”

“We are pretty blown away…very very pleased. I think it’s fabulous…it has transformed the boat.” –  Owners.

A Personalised Service

“We’ve had a great time working with Setag, from the very first time we met at the boat show…to meeting Sarah multiple times…to get the right scheme…but nothing has ever seemed too much trouble. 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.” – Owner.

See the difference

Here we start with the Afters images against the Befores, which clearly demonstrate the design detail and craftsmanship involved in this project.

A few bespoke furniture pieces on this project include a newly designed Saloon feature TV unit. Beautifully upholstered panels now frame a recessed TV edged with chrome trims. Where the previous unit had significant gaps to either side, this unit now flows effortlessly from the wooden bulkheads.

The curved edges echo the original Galley design language meaning this transformation looks both modern and perfectly in keeping with the original design intent of a Targa 47.

Redefined by Setag

Unique design

Bespoke designed helmseats including new carcasses and an updown mechanism – were specified by the client, creating a modern high-end feel to the yacht as soon as you step aboard.

“The difference is being able to have that wow factor and have something that is bespoke to you, designed to meet your requirements, what you like, what suits the boat colour scheme…you can really transform a boat for a modest amount of money compared to actually buying new or buying another used boat.” – The Hildyards, Owners.

Squadron 42 – 2012

This 2012 Squadron 42 was in a good condition – her design was just out of date and not to her new owners tastes and requirements. We were called upon to create an environment equalling, if not surpassing today’s standards to ensure the owners fell in love with her again.

Case Studies

We believe that true luxury evolves through a lifetime of dedication. But it is often hard to quantify what raises something to the level of a luxury product. It is more than a name or a logo: rather it is an attitude, a constant striving for perfection.

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!

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.

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.
