10 Stunning Superyacht Interiors to Make You Feel Right at Home (Part 1) CRN Atlante The owner of Atlante wanted the yacht’s profile to echo that of a military ship, with sports-car styling mixed in. He worked with Gilles & Bossier to make sure the interior was just as assertive, yet still warm and welcoming. Both smoked and black oak combine with brushed fir and larch wood on walls and underfoot. The level of detail is extraordinary, down to the trapezoid-shaped handrails, which are designed to more effectively reflect natural light. Royal Huisman Elfje Named after the Dutch word for “fairy,” Elfje has a sweet sensibility. This is a yacht meant for everyone to socialize, from the owners to the crew, and tones and textures are so soft, you almost want to reach out and touch them. Elfje is also meant for being one with Mother Nature. A see-through tube from the master suite’s glass-topped coffee table goes straight through the hull, so the owners can spot fish and other sea creatures. Lurssen Ester III It’s hard to make a 216-footer feel cozy, but Reymond Langton Design and the owner of Ester III did so by breaking up big rooms into intimate spaces with rich fabrics. The French Classical decor is also executed in a thoroughly modern way, and largely defined by a hand-carved leather, wood, metal, and polished plaster mural rising up along the stairway and glass elevator. Edmiston Highlander Best known for being owned by the late Malcolm Forbes, Highlander looks completely different from when it was built in 1985—a design kept through to 2012. Wood paneling dominated, and rooms were meant for corporate entertaining. Now, available for charter via Edmiston’s central listing, Highlander has a master suite located on the main deck and features family-focused spaces, as well as Philippe Starck furniture, Missoni fabrics, blue onyx flooring, glossy walnut paneling, and modern granite steps. Benetti Illusion V Illusion V is a study in contrasts, particularly between the glossy black walnut paneling and cream and white tones of soft materials. The Green & Mingarelli–designed 190-footer is also a study in opulence, with liberal usage of Lalique crystal and a prominent rose motif featured on headboards, pillows, carpets, and the walls lining the spiral stairway.
