BETTER PLACE Yacht Interior

One of the key elements of this yacht is her interiors open onto the exteriors and vice versa, making easy access for natural light. 

Some of her sophisticated materials are satin, oak, leather, carbon fiber, and upholstery in white and grey colors. 

Her detailed décor includes lamps, cushions, frame pictures, and colors like raspberry, ice green, and sky blue to match the exterior of the vessel. 

What makes her unique is her integral design, where the interior meets the exterior in a smooth transition. She is illuminated with color-changing LED lights. 

Her amenities include an equipped flybridge, spa pool, side bathing platform, terrace on the sea, jacuzzi tub, and barbecue, among so many others.
