Yacht Charter Extreme Makeover: How to Refurbish a Boat Interior and Exterior for Chartering
http://www.iyachtclub.com/british-virgin-islands-bvi-yacht-charters/business-ownership/how-to-refurbish-a-boat-interior-and-exterior/ You’ve bought a bareboat and need to reinvent it into a luxury yacht charter. In our first video, we assessed what to look for when buying the boat and in this video, we will show you how to refurbish a boat’s interior and exterior to transform it into an all-inclusive yacht charter for the Caribbean. Refurbishing the interior: We started by increasing the space in the salon by removing the table and bringing in a coffee table for storage. Next, we improved the décor of the cabins, salon, and interior space. This included purchasing linens, pillows, and other decorations that matched the interior of the cabin. On this yacht, we were able to maintain the stainless fixtures in the head and easily clean out the showers and heads. Refurbishing the exterior: Normally, we would have replaced the exterior upholstery. However, they were in such a condition we decided to clean and keep the existing upholstery and replace it later down the road. Again, the décor (including silverware, plates, glasses, and pillows) was all handpicked to match the existing upholstery and bring a cohesive design together. We cleaned the exterior coating well, and added a cushion to the trampoline. We finalized the transformation with a renaming ceremony to convert what once was ‘Mr. Tom’ into ‘Island R&R.’ The owners had the logo made by a local company and then printed onto vinyl to place on the side of the yacht.
