Having a yacht is often synonymous with long sea cruises. Therefore, ensuring comfortable furnishings is essential for passengers to enjoy their outings to the full. You already know that good furnishings require quality furniture, especially when it comes to a luxury yacht.
If you are looking to buy luxury furniture for your yacht, you will need to know the right places to go. However, using a professional is often the best way to get yacht furniture that is consistent and compatible with the rest of your interior design. In this article, you will find all the information you need to succeed in this task.
How to fit out your luxury yacht and why call in a professional?
The interior of a yacht is often small, and yet it must be able to house all the amenities needed to feel at home, namely:
- A kitchen area;
- Sanitary facilities;
- A rest area.
Moreover, the layout of a small space is not an easy task, which is why it is necessary to call on the services of a professional in the trade, in particular a designer or an architect. The division of the cabins requires a careful study of the materials, as these are supposed to be both light and tasteful.
On the other hand, fitting out a luxury yacht involves the choice of luxury furniture, and this is another point where the professional is indispensable. Indeed, the furniture must meet two main criteria in this case, namely:
- It must be convertible;
- It must be top of the range.
What luxury furniture for your yacht?
If we were to categorise the furniture of a yacht, we would talk about four main categories, namely relaxation equipment, technical equipment, utensils and lighting.
Lighting
It is important to note that the ceilings of a yacht are low, which makes general lighting incompatible. It is better to use spotlights, which are placed separately in different areas.
Moreover, bulky chandeliers should be avoided, even in large yachts. Also remember that a yacht is a moving vehicle, so the choice of lighting should be limited to fixed lights for safety reasons. Indeed, floor lamps and table lamps should be avoided.
Technical equipment
In order to make the yacht comfortable for its occupants, it is important to ensure a water and electricity supply and a sanitation system, as the discharge of faeces into the sea is punishable by law.
A large tank is essential to preserve fresh water for use in the kitchen, toilet and bathroom. The yacht’s sanitation system is not built like the one on land, but rather consists of a tank with independent plumbing.
