When the dedicated owners of a Princess Yachts S65 faced the inevitable signs of aging in their cherished vessel's interior, they sought a partner capable of restoring its original elegance without compromising the exceptional quality that defines the Princess Yachts experience. After seven years of regular use, the upholstery had begun showing noticeable wear, requiring expert intervention to maintain the yacht's sophisticated aesthetic and preserve its inherent value.
This project exemplified Aquamare Marine's commitment to delivering transformative results that exceed expectations, showcasing our ability to breathe new life into beloved vessels while maintaining the exacting standards that define world-class yacht craftsmanship. The owners needed a partner capable of delivering flawless restoration that would seamlessly integrate with their vessel's existing luxury appointments while extending its lifespan and enhancing their continued enjoyment on the water.
Our expert team conducted a thorough precondition audit, meticulously inspecting and documenting the vessel's condition through extensive walkaround video and photography. This detailed assessment provided the owners with comprehensive information and tailored recommendations, establishing a clear baseline for the transformation process. This meticulous planning phase reflects our commitment to precision engineering and client satisfaction that defines every project.
Before commencing work, all personal belongings were carefully removed and securely stored, with comprehensive protection measures implemented throughout the vessel. High-quality protective materials covered areas from the bathing platform to the lower accommodation, ensuring the yacht remained pristine during the extensive restoration process. This attention to detail demonstrates our commitment to total vessel stewardship and luxury preservation standards.
The team executed a skilled dismantling process, removing all upholstered finishes with exceptional precision to avoid any damage to the vessel's structure. This complex operation required expert knowledge of yacht construction and material interfaces. The dismantled moulds and panels were transported to our specialized on-site upholstery facility, where materials were removed, surfaces sanded, and components cleaned to factory standards, with any damaged elements receiving comprehensive repairs.
Following restoration, all components underwent a meticulous dry-fitting process on board, ensuring perfect tolerance and fit that met the highest standards of yacht manufacturing. This critical step validated the dimensional accuracy and integration of all restored elements before final upholstery application. The panels were then reupholstered using the customers' selected marine-grade luxury materials, combining aesthetic appeal with durability in the marine environment.
The vessel reassembly process was executed with exceptional attention to detail, adhering to the same exacting standards employed in the original factory construction. Our in-house quality team conducted comprehensive inspections throughout the reassembly, ensuring all work met our rigorous quality benchmarks. Professional cleaners and detailers prepared the yacht for delivery, with a final post-works audit confirming everything was in perfect order before returning the vessel to its delighted owners.
"The craftmanship and attention to detail saved the owners from the expense of purchasing a new Princess Yachts S65, instead giving their beloved boat a renewed lease of life. The owners expressed immense satisfaction, noting the exceptional quality and revitalised ambiance of their yacht."
