A luxury yacht already notable for its design, transformed through selective updates. The refit exemplifies the impact of thoughtful, precise enhancements that elevate the overall aesthetic and functionality while remaining the vessel’s original charm.
The Saloon was updated with a new sofa, coffee table, headlining and a redesigned TV unit – creating a cosy yet stylish living area. Additionally, new steps were installed into the entrance/Companionway , offering a welcoming and modern first impression.

The design philosophy behind this refit project was to achieve a dramatic impact through minimal intervention. The quality of the design & craftsmanship lies in its subtlety; the updates blend seamlessly with the original elements, making it difficult to distinguish between what is new and what was always there. This approach ensures the yacht retains its classic appeal while embracing modern enhancements.
A strategic update: Refresh & modernise with bespoke detailing, high-quality materials, and innovative design solutions. The project focused on key areas to achieve the maximum impact with minimal alterations, ensuring a seamless blend of old and new elements.

We maintained the Heads & Forward cabin as they were in excellent condition and we, and the owner, wanted to avoid unnecessary changes so these were left untouched, aside from new carpet – showcasing a strategic approach to the refit.
The dash & helm has been completely redesigned, painted and equipped with integrated, modern navigation and control systems. This transformation not only improves functionality but also contributes to the sleek, contemporary feel of the yacht.
To blend the exterior with the refreshed interior; the wet bar & sliding roof have been painted to align with the yacht’s new aesthetic. Previously, the black roof appeared aggressive and disjointed from the rest of the design. The new colour scheme creates a cohesive look, enhancing the yacht’s overall appeal.

All exterior upholstery has been redesigned & replaced including transforming the original helm bench-seat into 2 individual seats, and a new Cockpit table manufactured & installed – ensuring that the outdoor spaces are as comfortable and stylish as the new sleek interior.

After our refurbishment on the left. Before on the right hand side.
We start with the Exterior Before which has undergone a total transformation –
Our client has owned this yacht from 2006 so she is a yacht he knows, understands, is comfortable with. 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.
Our client considered new but weighed up the economic benefits, and benefits in timing, of updating his loved boat and putting it into refit with us – making a sensible more economical, more sustainable choice.
Now he has something unique, modern, looking and smelling like it’s just left the factory, for an absolute fraction of the price of new.
The Saloon was updated with a new sofa, coffee table, headlining and a redesigned TV unit – creating a cosy yet stylish living area. Additionally, new steps were installed into the entrance/Companionway , offering a welcoming and modern first impression.

This particular boat was transported from Croatia by land to our HQ in Plymouth for her 5 month refurbishment and then shipped to her new home in Dubai ready for the owner to enjoy the season.
Our client worked intimately with us at the beginning of the project to choose the general theme and feel of the yacht refurbishment but wanted little engagement throughout the project to truly experience the ‘wow‘ factor when first stepping aboard seeing the transformation for the first time.
The dash & helm has been completely redesigned, painted and equipped with integrated, modern navigation and control systems. This transformation not only improves functionality but also contributes to the sleek, contemporary feel of the yacht.

This was a very comprehensive refit as it involved spraying the exterior paint work to the hull band and comprised of an entire interior refit to this 37ft showstopper – transforming the yacht into the coolest Tomahawk around.
Combining modern performance and convenience with classic design.
Whilst paying homage to the original boat, we have restored and surpassed its faded glory – introducing modern touches in keeping with the owner’s contemporary cool lifestyle.
The refurbishment involved extensive engineering work including, but not limited to –
This concept has a classic and timeless palette of tan, blue, satin nickel & vibrant orange to completely transform this tired and dated Tomahawk.
The interior styling is fresh with the use of cream textural fabrics with tan and blue accents. Pops of vibrant orange, on the door handle for example with a leather wrap add a feeling of quality and timeless Craftsmanship to the design.

The Galley has been totally transformed with a cleverly crafted bespoke unit now housing the new appliances, completed in the beautiful striking blue spray finish – that has also transformed the exterior spaces – along with a contemporary solid surface top.

Matt Judge, one of our expert Craftsmen built the Remastered Galley unit –
“I get great satisfaction out of improving existing yachts and achieving outcomes that surpass factory standards. As a carpenter – problem solving, teamwork and making bespoke units is an enjoyable experience for me. The main enjoyment comes from the high-quality, bespoke outcomes that are always worth the time and effort. Despite the challenges that are faced daily, seeing the project at the completion stage makes it all worthwhile.” – Matt Judge, SETAG Craftsman.
Not only have we totally refurbished all upholstery on board – including newly designed helmseats, we have resprayed the entire dash in a beautiful striking blue colour – in absolute contrast to the dated red colour Before, re-upholstered side linings and a new replacement wheel to complete the modernisation.

This Sunseeker 75 project is one of our most extensive projects with a very dramatic transformation – one which, like all our projects, we are immensely proud of.
The project comprises of an entire interior refit – transforming the yacht into a contemporary modern space, oozing sophisticated hotel glamour. The owner has been heavily involved in the design – which is inspired by one of their favourite photographs – now inset in the bulkhead, proudly on display in their master cabin.
We significantly reduced the amount of timber on display throughout the whole boat by adding material or leather, in a much brighter colour palette – whilst also replacing every original headining and sidelining throughout the boat.
We have reviewed the design of the Saloon headlining, firstly considering various lighting moods adding sophisticated contemporary feel – this has evolved the creation of a complete new headlining.
The two aft Saloon sofas, along with the Dinette sofa have all considerably reduced in size, yet increased in comfort – opening up the space and the floor area.
The Dinette table had a large unit/leg underneath – which along with the bulky sofa, created a cramped feeling…on a large yacht. The area was too busy with heavy pieces of furniture dominating the space. We have now designed and manufactured two beautiful pillar legs for the table that work with the scheme and offer more space for socialising. The table legs are a real feature with one side covered in a light leather with a stainless strip through the centre and the inside covered in teal suede.
A new contemporary table top takes pride of place in the Dinette, with a solid surface insert for practicality – surrounded by a beautifully painted edge colour matched to the leather, creating a flow with the rest of the scheme.
You will notice the sidelinings in this area before were particularly bad before, from years of sun damage.
The Galley front before was lackluster in its design with leather pads to the upper section of the unit – now it has become a significant feature of the Saloon refit. We have wrapped the entire front in beautiful stitch detailed leather and added a feature teal strip through the centre for that added visual effect.
The helm station has been updated with the latest Raymarine technology, new panels for the equipment and an entire respray of the dash to blend with the surrounding areas.
We have used the existing carcass of the helm seat – covering it in a beautiful teal leather for the more functional areas, and a colour matched suede for the centre of the seat, with our trademark logo in pride of place.
Throughout the entire scheme, we have specified several sustainable materials:
The fabrics for each Cabin headboard are environmentally conscious, sustainable materials made from waste plastic bottles. Each fabric is fully recyclable, meaning they have been repurposed for future use – similarly to the yacht they now sit within – making the fabric and yacht ‘circular’ in nature.
These fabric suppliers have partnered with the Marine Conservation Society and Trees For Life, and for every metre of fabric sold, a percentage of proceeds are donated to help protect our seas, shores and wildlife, and restoration projects.
The stunning dark teal carpet which runs throughout the entire yacht – specified to tone down the yellow timber – is an eco-friendly tip-sheared carpet created using plastic waste recovered from the world’s oceans.
The entire design scheme for the refit was inspired by the owners favourite photograph – now inset in the bulkhead, proudly on display.
As with all areas aboard – all headlings & sidelings have been replaced, curved leather has been added to the sideboard units to reduce the amount of exposed timber. The headboards beautiful fluting pattern has also been applied to the Stateroom sofa backrest.
We have covered the vanity unit original Sunseeker stools in the Master and the Forward Cabin – with the suede that is seen elsewhere on board, with beautiful stitch detailing and a leather wrapped handle.
When we received the boat, the Forward Cabin had suffered a very bad leak – subsequently the headlining panels were in an extremely poor condition, along with some of the sidelinings – we of course, rectified the leak to ensure there would be no further damage. The cabin is now totally transformed into a stunning relaxing area for guests to enjoy.
Each cabin has a set of custom luxury bedding designed specifically to match the theme associated with that cabin – shown in the colour strip detail on the duvet cover and within the scatter cushions.
As with all cabins, we have brightened each space by replacing all the headlining, sidelining and window liners with lighter, more modern fabric – lifting each space into a contemporary relaxing cabin ready to unwind. All blinds have been replaced with venetian blinds – colour matched to the sidelining material ensuring they blend into the background and don’t distract from the Remastered beauty.
Each cabin now has Porta Romana wall lights, which have become beautiful features.
All cabins have been transformed into areas you would be proud to host your guests in – and the whole yacht now has that new boat feeling, smell and look to rival products new from factory today.
The majority of the refurbishment took place internally however, we have used the same design language for the Cockpit and Flybridge table tops, as we have in the Dinette, tying all three together.
We have also replaced the Flybridge teak as it was looking very dated. Stripping old teak and replacing with new is incredibly labour intensive, but extremely satisfying seeing the deck totally transformed.
The Upper helm station has also been updated with the latest Raymarine technology, new panels for the equipment and several gel repairs to where we have removed redundant equipment – transforming this into a modern helm station.
We look forward to realising The Art of The Possible with you
