YACHTS & YACHTING 45
“ Instead of being tied to the builder ’ s specifications , our clients have the freedom to choose unique freestanding pieces of furniture from renowned Italian brands like Minotti , Natuzzi , Frag , B + B , Zucchetti , Paola Lenti , and more ,” continues Hatfield .
“ Modifications can be made to suit personal tastes and complement the interior style . We bring in designers from all over the world , ensuring that fixtures and fittings are all exactly what and where the client wishes - from smaller decorative items to whole areas of the yacht .”
The only limitation is the hull shape and exterior profile . But interior wise , it ’ s a blank canvas , with the yacht entirely customised to an owner ’ s cruising aspirations , tastes and lifestyle .
“ Sanlorenzo was the first motoryacht brand to really offer to tailor make a yacht in terms of customisation ,” continues Nick . “ It looked outside the marine industry for the specialist talent and started by bringing in big named designers who were creating fabulous interiors for apartments .
Owning a Sanlorenzo means having the opportunity to choose the materials involved in the build . This choice is not limited to the cladding and coverings but extends to luxury items such as marble or wood flooring . Yacht owners can choose every detail to best express their personality .
“ The idea was that if someone was renovating their home , the designers could understand their preferences and translate these into the interior of their yacht , and it ’ s developed to where we are today – offering clients a bespoke yacht , with everything then made to measure for them , to their exact requirements .”
