Luxury boat construction is an art form. It’s about balancing form and function and producing the most beautiful interior possible while ensuring a seamless experience across the length of your project and your time on the water.
At Circa Marine, world-class interior boat design is one of our specialities. We can work with your existing vessel or build the shell of your new boat using our state-of-the-art aluminium moulding techniques. Then, our expert team crafts the interior of the vessel using only the best interior design materials and techniques for marine applications.
If you’re considering commissioning a custom vessel, it’s useful to understand how the art of interior boat design will influence your decisions and our process.
Read on with the Circa Marine team to better understand some fundamentals of interior boat design.
The interior layout of a boat presents a unique set of challenges. Whether we’re talking about confined spaces, constant exposure to the harsh ocean environment, or the need for lightweight yet robust materials, every aspect of marine interior design demands a thoughtful approach.
As luxury boat designers, it’s our job to take into account your vessel’s unique purpose. From workhorses to superyachts, every vessel will have specific requirements. Maintaining excellent performance while crafting a stylish interior can be a delicate balancing act requiring the use of good-looking materials, which are also designed to withstand harsh conditions.
At Circa Marine, we work to promote the illusion of space and to provide you with all the interior features you will need to relax on the high seas. Our design approach includes the use of 3D parametric modeling and Computer Numeric Control systems.
We use these technologies to craft unique assemblies, which are accurately cut to size before being slotted into your boat’s interior. This allows for incredible precision, and our comprehensive library of parts creates unparalleled flexibility for our designers.
Along with precise design, another important consideration is the careful selection of the right materials. Selecting the right fabrics, fixtures, and fittings is vital to achieving that delicate balance between luxury and longevity.
The interior of your vessel is naturally exposed to high endurance conditions during its time on the open water. Corrosive saltwater, constant sun exposure, and high-traffic wear and tear from consistent use all play big roles in the degradation of a boat’s interior over time, so we only incorporate the very best marine-grade materials and fabrics into your design.
Some of the premium, marine-grade materials we rely on include:
· Teak and mahogany
· Stainless steel
· High-grade aluminium
· High-quality canvas
· Vinyl with foam backing
Working with a specialised company like Circa Marine means you’re working with a well-connected design team. Not only are we comfortable using these materials in our design work, but we are also able to source these materials from high-quality vendors at excellent prices to balance the cost of the design with the high-quality outcome.
Depending on your vessel's specifications, you may need specific technological integrations in different rooms. From entertainment systems to radios or navigation equipment, many pieces of technology are desirable and necessary for safety, comfort - and luxury.
Treating these as vital integrations rather than additions to be tacked on after the design process is part of our interior boat design approach. The Circa Marine team has years of experience with vessels of all applications, allowing us to make the right call with these small details.
Our ability to make bespoke furniture also allows us to construct unique pieces that flawlessly integrate these pieces into your vessel’s interior without negatively impacting the design.
One of the most important aspects of interior boat design is creating a space you are proud to call your own. A boat is more than a vessel to travel the seas with; for many people, it’s a sanctuary - or a home. Therefore, it’s important to incorporate design elements that make sure your personal style is expressed in your boat's interior.
Our team has built up our skills and relationships within the industry through years of extensive experience. Whether you prefer traditional nautical elements or you’re seeking a high-tech, contemporary design, our team can work with you to create your dream boat.
Interior boat design is one of the vital facets of luxury boat construction, and creating spaces that seamlessly merge a premium feel with practical needs is an art form.
