Our most comprehensive project to date – involving stripping the boat back to beyond its skeleton for a complete rebuild – meaning that practically everything you are able to see in the final refit has been changed and updated.
After our refurbishment on the left. Before on the right hand side.
We pride ourselves on creating exceptional, tailor-made yachts that capture the vision and aspirations of our clients. This project is a testament to this philosophy – a comprehensive and innovative transformation that touched every element of the yacht.
This project stands out not only for its level of customisation, but also for the sustainablity and cost-effectiveness it achieved.
The yacht has been totally transformed…the materials and technology used throughout – from upgrading the air conditioning and a state-of-the-art integrated Bang & Olufsen sound system – are super high-end; the level of design interaction is super yacht standard, as we would normally expect to see being spec’d on a 40+ M boat.

Our client, an individual with the resources to purchase a brand-new yacht, opted instead for a more sustainable approach by choosing to invest in a pre-owned yacht. His decision was driven by a desire to save both time and money while contributing to eco-conscious luxury by repurposing an existing vessel.
The Saloon now boasts a statement ‘rise and fall’ portside bar unit with a marble top, the bar built around specified glasses to fit inside. The portside curved sofa has been completely restyled, while the starboard sofa has been redesigned. There is a new coffee table and new curvaceous dinette sofa with a matching oval dinette table. Feature lighting, and new headlining has been added, together with sidelinings and window linings throughout the entire yacht.

The Galley includes a new worktop and galley front, with a bookshelf design replacing the previous glass divider, and all new appliances added – with new crockery & glassware supplied from the previous Princess M-Class upgrade specification options.
Nothing has been overlooked on this project – we have created the best value for money mini super yacht.
There are new helmseats at the dash, with an all-new navigation suite, new panelling and headlining, duckpond and console pod all re-covered. A complete electronics upgrade including Raymarine screens, i70s, autopilot, transducer, cyclones & VHF.
The Master Cabin has a new TV feature column, formental cherry blossom silk embroidered artwork as feature headboard that is hand stitched, a starboard sofa and wine fridges.
After our refurbishment on the left. Before on the right hand side.
We assisted in the search for this vessel and held the customers hand from start to finish. We sourced this boat in Turkey, organised the survey & transport of the boat from Turkey to our HQ in Plymouth.
The cabins have been restyled with new headboards, window liners, leather wrap for outboard units and bulkheads, new bed upstands and bedside lights, and a new mirror TV in the Forward Cabin – for vanity unit usage or a TV at a flick of a switch.
One of the key advantages of SETAG refit projects like this, is the speed with which they come together. While new builds often require long lead times of over 18-24 months, this pre-owned yacht was ready for a refit almost immediately. Then, once with us in Plymouth, the entire refit project took only 4 months to compete.
This project was quick even by our own standards – given the enormity of work completed. But to ensure we hit deadlines set by the client, we mobilised a team out to Turkey right at the start of the project when the shipping to the UK was delayed. This meant we could start on time with no delay.
The exterior features a new teak deck as well as all-new upholstery throughout, with feature lighting, exterior cameras, a complete replacement of all skin fittings and ball vales, a new glass aft Flybridge rail, with a custom-built aft sofa and the sunpad being completely removed & replaced with two bespoke-built curved bars. The foredeck sunpad has been restyled with an additional headrest to double up as a backrest (creating a bench set-up). In addition, there is a new Williams Tender with upholstering to match the main yacht – super yacht standard.
“Working with SETAG was a game-changer. I could have gone the traditional route of a new yacht, but their innovative approach to customisation & craftsmanship gave me exactly what I wanted – without the long wait or excessive cost. The fact that refitting an existing yacht is a more sustainable option was a further factor in my consideration. And who better to complete the work, than the team who designed, manufactured, engineered, and built the yacht in the first place. She now feels completely personal, reflecting both our taste and my brand. I now have a yacht that has a much higher quality and specification than I would have got with a new one. For me it’s a ‘no brainer’ and the SETAG team were simply exceptional on every level as well as a dream to work with.” – Princess 72, Owner.
Striking mother of pearl feature panels throughout the Heads means they are also enhanced with unique designs – stunning fusions of freshwater and saltwater pearl. Each piece is meticulously hand-placed – one design inspired by the vibrant bloom of sunflowers and the other elegance of freshwater pearls with the intricate design of delicate leaves. The individual movement of these sustainable pearls captivates the eye, with colours reflecting natural light and enveloping the space in a warm, luxurious ambiance.
Every inch of the yacht has been reimagined to align with the client’s vision. The design process was collaborative, with our Design team working closely with the clients to understand their exact requirements. The clients company logo and branding were subtly integrated throughout the yacht, lending a personal touch and a sense of ownership.
The project underwent major engineering works including upgrading the Air-conditioning from a Mediterranean spec to a Gulf spec & replaced all the chillers, new TVs throughout including modifying the Saloon flooring to fit a sufficient lifter and installing a mirror -tv in the Forward cabin. Shaft seals, 1,000 hour engine service, generator service, full lighting upgrade, wireless chargers, underwater lights, water purification system, Bang and Olufsen sound system throughout internally & externally…to name a few elements.

As the project progressed, we encountered several challenges including severe leaks and mold issues, requiring significant time and attention to resolve – but of upmost importance before we progressed further with the refurbishment.
The cabins have been restyled with new headboards, window liners, leather wrap for outboard units and bulkheads, new bed upstands and bedside lights, and a new mirror TV in the Forward Cabin – for vanity unit usage or a TV at a flick of a switch.
We have breathed new life into this Princess 54 – redefining the boundaries of style and functionality on board. The worn-out interiors of yesteryear have been meticulously revitalised to resonate with the contemporary modern way and will now stand the test of time with their lasting design.

Our mission is clear: to craft a bespoke sanctuary tailored to the discerning tastes of our clients, all while delivering the quality and allure of a brand-new vessel – at a fraction of the cost of new. Guided by the client’s aspirations and our unwavering commitment to excellence – no detail is too small.
But our journey doesn’t end with aesthetics alone. The Princess 54 refit is a testament to innovation and functionality, where state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge design seamlessly integrate to enhance the onboard experience. From intuitive navigation systems to bespoke entertainment solutions, every element is meticulously engineered to anticipate the needs of the modern voyager.

We start with the Exterior Before which has undergone a total paint transformation, featuring three colours –
We find two types of clients – firstly, the one who has a boat that he knows, understands, is comfortable with and has probably already invested significant money in making sure he is safe at sea, but the boat looks tired. Before SETAG, his choices would have been – to run the risk and cost of changing what he knows for something he is unsure of, or to update in stages across the years with multiple suppliers involved.
Secondly, there is the owner, like this V62s owner, that considers new but weights up the economic benefits, and benefits in timing, of buying a pre-owned boat and putting it straight into refit with us. We have a good number of these in build – these clients are making a sensible more economical, more sustainable choice.
This client now has something unique, modern, looking and smelling like it’s just left the factory, for an absolute fraction of the price of new.

As the project unfolded, I felt connected to every stage of the yacht’s development. From selecting the finest materials to customising the interior design, every decision felt like a reflection of my personality and preferences.
