Best Motor Yacht Interior ~ Solemar

Solemar motor yacht
How about a 202-footer for your first solo contract? Mick Leach took it in stride and drew an extremely detailed yacht for a client who unfortunately had to leave the project in mid-construction. What could have been a huge disappointment turned golden for Leach and the yard as the yacht quickly drew the attention of a new owner ready for his first boat. While all the broad strokes were perfect, the new owner encouraged Leach and Amels to step up the finish quality yet another notch. The result is a spectacular yacht with a bold, masculine interior featuring a two-deck open master suite, complex joinery by Struik & Hamerslag, an unforgettable foyer and atrium staircase, and even a hidden passage to the guest accommodation for late night revelers. Hidden behind all the beauty is an exceptional approach to sound and vibration reduction so that her peerless, on-demand entertainment electronics can be fully enjoyed in every stateroom.
