The Moment This luxury (and dare we say sexy) superyacht with an exterior designed by award-winning Tim Heywood launched in 2012 and was ready for an expert refit for her new owners.

The Move Verge Yacht Design served as the lead interior designer for an extensive eight-month refit at Thunderbolt Marine, overseeing the design vision, material selections, custom furnishings, artwork, lighting, and interior and exterior enhancements throughout the vessel. Notable contributions
  • Reimagined the sundeck with improved circulation, custom furnishings, and flexible entertaining spaces to enhance guest comfort and function.
  • Redesigned the sundeck bar with a custom marble countertop, integrated LED lighting, upgraded finishes, and redesigned seating to maximize both aesthetics and usable deck space.
  • Refreshed every guest cabin with custom furnishings, luxury linens, carpeting, accessories, and curated artwork, creating a refined and cohesive interior throughout the vessel.
  • Updated interior and exterior upholstery, window treatments, lighting, overhead finishes, and custom furnishings to modernize the yacht while maintaining the character of the Amels platform.
  • Curated and commissioned artwork that enhanced the existing collections creating a unique visual identity for the yacht.
  • Coordinated technical upgrades, decorative lighting, material specifications, and custom furnishings as part of the vessel’s comprehensive modernization.

The Momentum With its full interior transformation, this superyacht is the epitome of contemporary style with a chic sophisticated story showcasing Verge’s ability to deliver full-service luxury design for large-scale refits.

The Measure “Working with Verge Yacht Design felt suspiciously easy for a project this ambitious. The Verge team was unflappable. Listening first, then pulling off the hard part of balancing design, function, and a dozen moving coordination pieces without ever letting the seams show. From first sketch to final install, it stayed smooth. The result? Remarkable, yes. But let us be honest, it is also breathtaking.” —Shipyard Representative and Yacht Owner
