Reimagining Luxury: The 2022 Refit of AFTER YOU

AFTER YOU, the 55-metre Heesen masterpiece, underwent an extensive refit in 2022, redefining her onboard aesthetic while preserving the integrity of her renowned Dutch craftsmanship. Interior designer Mark Berryman infused the yacht with a contemporary yet understated elegance, transforming her into a sanctuary that effortlessly combines comfort, sophistication, and modern design.

The refit brought a refreshed layout and an enhanced sense of flow across all four decks. Berryman’s touch is most notable in the serene palette of neutral tones, tactile materials, and warm woods that envelop guests in an atmosphere of refined calm. Thoughtful lighting, large windows, and glass balustrades amplify natural light, creating bright, open interiors that invite relaxation and indulgence.

Key upgrades included the complete renovation of guest suites, the addition of spa amenities, and bespoke furnishings that complement the yacht’s architectural lines. Custom-built cabinetry, contemporary artworks, and sumptuous fabrics contribute to a residential yet refined feel. The main saloon and sky lounge have been elegantly reimagined as sophisticated hubs for socialising, equipped with a bar, cinema screen, and a self-playing piano—each element harmonising aesthetics with function.

Beyond aesthetics, the refit also enhanced technical performance and guest comfort, with upgrades to climate control systems, lighting technology, and acoustics. These improvements elevate every aspect of life on board, from serene solitude to lively soirées.

AFTER YOU‘s 2022 refit not only elevated her design but also enhanced the overall guest experience, reaffirming her position as one of the most alluring charter yachts available. She is now more than ever a refined expression of contemporary yachting luxury, where every detail has been considered to meet the highest standards of comfort, elegance, and performance.
