Yacht Design
Yacht design that considers technical requirements, continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces, and comfort.Details that shape life on board
- Layout and circulation
- We consider the connections between the saloon, cabins and deck alongside everyday use.
- Materials and maintenance
- We assess surfaces with moisture, sunlight, maintenance and use in mind.
- Inside and out
- Lighting, furniture and outdoor spaces are developed through a consistent design approach.
HAREA / Yacht Design
We assess the yacht’s technical characteristics and intended use to create continuity between its interior and outdoor living spaces.
Our Process
01Site assessment and brief02Concept design and 3D visualisation03Technical detailing and production coordination04Construction and installation supportPlanning a yacht interior or refit
Comfort on board needs to work within the yacht’s technical constraints. Circulation between saloon, cabins and deck, storage and maintenance access all inform the brief. For a yacht project in Bodrum, existing drawings, yard conditions and the intended season of use help translate design decisions into a practical programme.
Frequently asked questions
How does a new design differ from a refit?
A new design develops layouts and technical systems together. A refit works with an existing vessel, so equipment to retain, installations and areas available for intervention need to be assessed first. Surface renewal and a more extensive transformation involve different scopes.
How are yacht interior materials selected?
Weight, moisture, salt exposure, cleaning and maintenance matter alongside appearance. Finishes, furniture and fixing details should be reviewed with the technical team for their intended use. A material suited to a home is not automatically appropriate for a vessel.
What information is useful at the start?
A general arrangement, vessel dimensions, recent photographs and renovation goals support the initial discussion. Technical drawings and equipment information clarify the scope. Yard availability, delivery expectations and an indicative budget help establish priorities.
Yacht design from Sarıyer to Bodrum
From HAREA’s studio in Sarıyer, Istanbul, we approach yacht design through the way a vessel is used, its existing layout and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. The Aera 42 concept yacht study, developed in a Bodrum context, is one example in our portfolio. Planning a new yacht or a refit calls for a coordinated review of vessel drawings, intended use, maintenance access and the implementation schedule.
