2004 NW Design Awards First Place

The Owners, Midwestern boaters from the Great Lakes area, knew exactly what they wanted in their new 87’ motor yacht. Their design brief for the interior specified that “the boat should  have a look that is “cranky”. We’d like the interior to look like it is 100 years old- we would like it to be reminiscent of the traditional classic yachts, yet be inviting and comfortable.”

With a traditional saloon of stained cherry cabinetry, Ardeo Design has incorporated an antique brass compass, bronze library lamps, a writing desk, and a breakfast buffet cabinet with sliding panel access to the galley. A 50” flat plasma monitor raises on a motorized lift just forward of the custom designed leather upholstered sofa. Framed antique prints located throughtout the vessel depict scenes of towns and landscapes of areas the Owners have cruised during their journeys.
 
The flush deck yacht, which features naval architecture and exterior styling by Tom Fexas Naval Architects, has four staterooms, each with it’s own ensuite Bath.
