Few settings rival a yacht for the art of living well, whether that means a relaxing afternoon on open water or an unforgettable evening with friends and family.
Nautica by Architexture, our yachting division, specializes in full interior refits, from gutting and reimagining an aging vessel to sourcing the perfect finishes, furnishings, and fittings for a contemporary refresh. Every decision is made with two things in mind: creating a space that feels unmistakably yours, and protecting the value of your investment.
“Our boat wasn’t utilizing space very well and wasn’t comfortable—to have someone reimagine the space planning as if you started from scratch was huge. She was very creative.”
—M.H.
We start by getting to know you: your vessel, your lifestyle, your vision for how your space should feel and function. From there, we put together an investment guide tailored to your project’s scope.
Think of this guide as a framework that gives you a clear, honest picture of what to expect before any commitments are made.
Once your proposal is signed and your retainer is in place, design begins. Our team brings deep expertise in marine architecture, which shapes every decision from spatial planning to material selection.
We know what works on water and what doesn’t, and we use that knowledge to push designs further without compromising performance or longevity. We present the initial concept in person, then move into a detailed phase covering renderings, final pricing, and revisions.
From this point forward, you’ll receive weekly updates covering progress, decisions, open questions, and next steps so you’re always looped in.
With everything approved, we begin sourcing and placing orders. All pieces are delivered to our studio or to a trusted receiver, where everything is inspected and managed before it reaches the vessel.
We are on-site and involved from the first day of installation to the last. Trades coordination on a yacht refit is complex, and we manage it with the same precision we bring to every project—anticipating problems before they surface, holding every contractor accountable, and making sure nothing is missed.
We install everything within a focused window, handle styling and punch list items, and photograph the finished interior.
Bon voyage! Your custom yacht is ready to set sail.
Our nautical division specializes in superyacht interiors, working across motor and sailing yachts as well as new builds and refits. Whether it is a full interior for a new vessel or the transformation of an existing one, we bring the same level of craft and detail that defines our residential and commercial work to life at sea.
Yacht timelines depend heavily on scope and whether the project is a new build or a refit. A refit can run several months to a year, while a full new-build interior often spans well over a year given the complexity of custom fabrication, marine specifications, and shipyard coordination. We establish a realistic schedule at the outset and manage it closely against build and yard milestones.
Yacht design is a bespoke undertaking, so the investment varies considerably with the size of the vessel, the scope of work, and the level of customization involved. Following an initial consultation and a clear understanding of your vision, we provide a transparent proposal detailing exactly how our fees and the project budget are structured.
We approach a yacht as a highly personal space where luxury, function, and the realities of life at sea have to work in harmony. Every detail is considered, from the materials that must perform in a marine environment to the craftsmanship that makes an interior feel refined and enduring. The result is a vessel that feels unmistakably yours, beautiful in port and at sea.
Our process moves through discovery, concept development, design refinement, fabrication, and installation, coordinated closely with the shipyard and build team throughout. We begin by understanding how you intend to use the vessel, then develop a design that balances aesthetics with the technical demands of marine construction, seeing it through to final installation on board.
Yes! We manage yacht projects end to end, overseeing design alongside the coordination of shipyards, craftsmen, and specialist suppliers. This ensures the design is executed precisely as intended, on schedule and to the exacting standards a yacht demands.
