Imagine stepping off your yacht into a perfectly coordinated tender that matches the elegance of your vessel. The tender transports you to a luxury resort or private villa, where from the moment you enter, feels custom designed just for you. A carefully selected playlist of music strikes the right note, as you are handed a signature cocktail, crafted with a specialty liquor distilled with your own unique recipe. The interiors of the entire space cohesively reflect the same design elements of your yacht, creating a sense of continuity. And that is only the beginning…
In the world of yachting, luxury has evolved far beyond sleek hulls, chic interiors and exotic locales. Today’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals are seeking something far more immersive: a bespoke experience that transcends the yacht itself and seamlessly integrates into every facet of their lifestyle.
They are looking for custom design in every aspect from furnishings to hand-picked menus and cocktails to bespoke tenders, cars, helicopters, and private jets, all the way to custom designing suites in hotels, and even planning one-of-a-kind exclusive excursions. This isn’t just for tangible items, we are now ensuring that everything – lighting and entertainment to climate control and security, can be custom designed for the client’s needs AND managed from a single interface, whether the client is on the yacht, at their villa, or thousands of miles away.
As I am sure you’ve seen, here at PKD we have expanded our services through the launch of The Quintessential Yachtsman as a response to this new level of luxury intended to focus on “designscapes” – the fully unified experience of elegance, convenience, and indulgence on land, on the sea, in the air and wherever our client’s journey takes them.
In this day and age, we are no longer simply designers, but rather curators of an elite ‘lifestyle without limits’. This new seamless, immersive and interconnected integration is a new standard, and a true extension of the owner’s identity in every corner of their world. It is an exciting time to be part of yachting, and I look forward to sharing more with you!
