Jaw-Dropping Yacht Interiors and Decor That Blow You Away!

A yacht interior is a true design challenge; you have somewhat limited space, sure. But even tougher is the fact that your whole space is going to move—maybe quite a bit, depending on the whims of the ocean.


So interior design for yachts is not for the faint of heart, and that’s why, for the most part, it’s a (very) specialized niche. But with limitations come opportunities for creativity. Check out how varied yacht interiors can be.

A dramatic place to dine while cruising

The glossy surfaces and atrium walls with backlit onyx create a moody, modern look in this yacht dining room.

Alcanara

Skylights on a yacht mean you can stargaze while keeping warm

The Alcanara is just under 100 feet long, and the designers used that space to maximum effect, with open rooms like this upper and lower salon.

Subtle lighting is important in a yacht interior
