Taste designer Candace Langan has been working her yacht interior magic once again… For the past few months she’s been on a sprint to help our California-based client and new owner of a classic super yacht reinvigorate the vessel and personalize for his chapter of ownership.
Our client acquired the then ‘Timoneer’ this summer and in addition to renaming her ‘Catalina’ he brought his western aesthetic to the 147′ yacht originally designed by Dubois Naval Architects with interiors by John Munford. How did we successfully blend our client’s request for a California-clean palette and polite insistence for “no blue, please” with a classic cherry yacht interior?
Candace relied on a textured and neutralized palette with accents in tomato red and crisp browns to complement the rich wood tones. Blue and white carpet came out and was replaced with a subtly patterned geometric rug. Florals were replaced with a collection of small scale prints and textured fabrics. Tufting was removed and replaced with tight backs on sofas and headboards.
Now, Catalina boasts a clean and textured canvas – ready for our client to personal with art and collections from his travels at sea. All aboard!
Only the best,
Yacht management firm Jon Barrett and Associates oversaw the refresh of Catalina and the hull painting in a warm Benjamin Moore gray. Our client was so pleased with the new hull color we used it as a launching point for the interior color palette.
The teak flooring was refinished and a new gray grout was installed to complement the stainless steel accents around the flush floor lights, railings and diamond inlays found in the upper salon.
Candace developed a neutral upholstery palette with accents in tomato red and crisp brown tones to complement the cherry interior.
The Upper Salon allows guests a near 360 degree view of the horizon, whether at anchor, surrounded by gorgeous Bahama-blue oceans and islands, or sailing to the next destination.
Polished perfection from bow to stern…thanks to the new Catalina crew.
Below deck, auburn throw pillows give the Main Salon warmth amidst the softer hues in the chevron gray and cream fabric selected for the curved sofa. Custom-made window treatments in a subtle monochromatic pattern echoes the eggshell-striped shades specially made to fit the brass light fixtures. The palette extends and evolves in the cabins, with warm red and leafy green accents.
Cream and olive custom upholstered head and side boards makes for a serene atmosphere where guests can unwind in the evenings. The embroidered bedding from Sferra gives a luxurious feel to the stately guest cabins.
