Not just cosmetic—the engineering, navigation replacement, plumbing, electrical systems, and even the smallest finishing touches have been reworked to ensure the yacht meets the highest modern standards.
We have ensured that this refit was not just a cosmetic upgrade but a long-term investment for the owner. Every aspect of the project was designed to enhance the yachts lifespan, usability and resale value, making SETAG the only choice for refits of this calibre.

The interior of this yacht underwent a meticulous overhaul. The Companionway steps we modernised for better accessibility and added practical storage solutions. The Saloon seating was reimagined with new foams and upholstery, while thoughtful additions like a deep drawer and contemporary handrails enhanced both utility and style.
The galley underwent a significant transformation aimed at maximising both style and utility. New venetian blinds, a solid surface worktop, and updated appliances including new sink and mixer tap brought a contemporary feel to the space. Removing the microwave and extending the shelf created more usable workspace with additional storage solutions, while the new timber flooring and strategic lighting improvements make the galley both practical and visually appealing.

Find Out MoreThe 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.
CALL USDiscover the Hildyards experience working with us.
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.
“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.
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.

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.

We look forward to realising The Art of The Possible with you.
