INTERIOR REFIT AND JOINERY

Yacht Interior Refit,
Joinery and Redesign

KRM Yacht carries out yacht interior refits, from finish renewal to a full layout change, as part of a refit or rebuild at our yard in Tuzla, Istanbul. Panels, furniture and joinery are made in our own 2,500 m² interior workshop in Darıca, near the yard, then installed on board.

An interior refit gets harder once a layout change starts to move access routes, service runs, lighting and equipment positions. We survey her on board, agree the scope against the yacht as she is, and plan the interior work into the same schedule as the rest of the superyacht refit.

Where the interior is being redesigned, the concept comes from the owner's designer. We take it from there: layout changes, technical detailing, shop drawings, production in our workshop and installation on board.

WORKSHOP-TO-YARD INTERIOR REFIT

From the Darıca Workshop
to the Yacht

Interior parts are made in Darıca and installed on board at the yard. Between the two, the work has to fit around access limits, service routes, protection of finished areas and the rest of the refit schedule, so we plan it from the onboard survey to the handover.

CNC, Cutting and Shaping

3-axis and 5-axis CNC, routing, milling, sliding table saw, band saw, planer and calibration equipment support accurate and repeatable interior production.

Veneer, Edge and Surface Work

Veneer cutting, edge banding, pressing, surface preparation and finishing are done in the workshop before the package goes to pre-fit or to the yacht.

Finishing, Upholstery and Assembly

Finishing, varnish work, upholstery and assembly stay in-house, so a fault can be put right in the workshop rather than on board.

INTERIOR REFIT SCOPE

What We Refit Inside the Yacht

An interior refit can renew finishes, rebuild joinery, change the layout or all three, with installation on board planned into the wider yard period.

Layout Revision and
Accommodation Renewal

Guest areas, the owner's suite, cabins, heads, galleys and crew areas are reworked to a new layout, keeping circulation and service access clear.

Joinery, Cabinetry and
Custom Furniture

Fixed furniture, built-ins, bars, pantries, wardrobes and detailed joinery are built for marine use, to the agreed tolerances, and in sections that can be brought on board. See our carpentry and joinery workshop.

Surface, Finish and
Soft-Package Renewal

Veneer replacement, lacquer refinishing, flooring, leather lining, upholstery, curtains and headboards are planned for clean onboard installation.

Lighting, Equipment and
Detail Integration

Lighting layouts, selected appliances, grilles, service panels, stainless details, mirrors and decorative glass are coordinated with the electrical, AV and HVAC work behind the panels.

PROCESS

How the Interior Refit Package Moves Through the Yard

Each package starts with the onboard survey and the target yard window, then moves through technical checks, workshop production, installation on board and close-out.

Onboard survey

Dimensions, existing conditions, access routes and hidden interfaces are checked against the intended scope.

Scope lock

The scope is fixed: what changes, what stays, and which areas affect the yard sequence.

Technical review

Lighting, HVAC, AV, service panels, fixing points and adjacent trades are reviewed early.

Material decisions

Veneer, lacquer, leather, upholstery, flooring, stone and finish selections are confirmed.

Production planning

The split between workshop and onboard work, material lead times, protection, logistics and installation windows are planned.

Shop drawings

Where required, production details are prepared or reviewed before workshop fabrication.

In-house production

Joinery, cabinetry, veneer, upholstery, finishing and assembly move through the workshop.

Pre-fit checks

Selected modules are pre-fitted in the workshop and checked for geometry, tolerances and interfaces before installation.

Onboard installation

Components are installed according to access, protection, yard timing and project sequence.

Close-out

Final adjustment, snagging, documentation and handover items are closed with the project team.

STARTING AN INTERIOR REFIT SCOPE

For Owners, Captains,
Owner’s Representatives and
Yacht Managers

If an upcoming yard period includes accommodation renewal, a layout change or new joinery, the first step is to agree the scope against the yacht as she is. This is what helps us do that.

Yacht Interior Refit Questions

1Do you design the new interior?

The concept comes from the owner's designer. We are not a concept design studio. We work from the designer's package, GA drawings and finish schedules, and take care of layout changes, technical detailing, shop drawings, production in our Darıca workshop and installation on board.

2Where is the interior work made?

Panels, furniture, joinery, veneer, upholstery and finishing are made in our own 2,500 m² interior workshop in Darıca, near our yard in Tuzla, Istanbul. The workshop has 3-axis and 5-axis CNC. Selected modules are pre-fitted there before they go to the yacht, then the package is installed on board at the yard. For interior manufacturing from approved drawings, see our superyacht interior manufacturing page.

3How long does a yacht interior refit take?

It depends on the scope: renewing finishes in a few cabins is a different job from changing the layout of a deck. Joinery production, material lead times and the rest of the yard period set the date. Recent yard periods that included interior work have run from 12 weeks, for a guest-area refurbishment alongside navigation and AV upgrades and exterior paint work, to 9 months, for an interior refurbishment alongside a complete repaint, HVAC renewal and a five-year class survey. Those were whole yard periods, not interior-only timings. More on our superyacht refit page.

4What does a yacht interior refit cost?

We can give a first read from drawings and photographs, and we price it after an onboard survey and an agreed scope. The main drivers are how much of the layout changes, the amount of new joinery against refinished joinery, the materials chosen, and the systems behind the panels: lighting, AV and HVAC. Our guide to yacht refit cost has a section on interior work.

5Is an interior refit part of a wider refit?

Usually, yes. Interior work runs on the same schedule as the paint, systems and survey work, because the trades share access and protection on board. An interior-only yard period is planned the same way, from onboard survey to installation. Interior renewal can also form part of a rebuild: on M/Y Newal, a 1988 Heesen, the saloon ceiling was raised 350 mm and the interior was rebuilt.
