Classic nautical elegance meeting modern luxury, on a Knysna-built hull. A yacht interior is the hardest constraint in the business — every millimetre is spoken for, every surface moves, and nothing can be specified from a catalogue.
The brief was refinement that survives the sea: premium marine finishes, considered detail, and interiors that feel calm rather than cramped.

BuildKnysna-built
Joinery drawn to the millimetre and made to move — every cabinet, berth and surface built for a hull that never sits still. Warm timber against marine-grade finishes keeps it feeling like a room rather than a vessel.
Refined interiors built around the spirit of adventure — a yacht that rewards long passages and looks after the people on board. Proof that the studio can work to the tightest constraints in the industry and still deliver something warm.
“Garth and Alysha were wonderful to work with. The brief was to make our boat look like a beach house, and they delivered exactly what we had in mind.”
