Join us in the office for another look behind the scenes at DTYD. ⛵

This week, Stefano Marcia shares one of the most valuable lessons that comes from seeing a boat being built — understanding how a design moves from the screen into reality, and how every detail needs to fit, function and come together in the real world.

Because some things you only really learn once you see the design take shape.

THE ART OF YACHT INTERIOR DESIGN

Every great interior starts with a sketch.

The initial sketches are just the beginning. As the design evolves through each phase, ideas are refined, details are developed and the vision comes to life, resulting in the finished interiors you see here.

From the first concept to the final detail, every space is thoughtfully designed for life at sea.

This time, Monica Venter shares how something that seems simple on a yacht can actually involve a lot of thinking around structure, stability and safety.

Because good design is often in the details you don’t immediately see.

This week, Anton du Toit and Senior Designer Stefano Marcia are visiting the Nexus Yachts/Balance Catamarans yard in St Francis Bay to catch up on the progress of the Balance 540.

Regular yard visits are an important part of the design and build process, giving our team the opportunity to see how the design is translating into reality, work through details alongside the yard, and assist wherever needed as the build progresses. ⛵⛵ Very exciting!

It’s always great to step away from the drawings and spend some time on the yard, seeing the Balance 540s taking shape and working together with the Nexus team to keep things moving forward.
