“The owner’s vision was clear for this refit project,” says the dealer. “He wanted to transform this yacht into a fully integrated, future-ready digital environment that matched the standards of a modern luxury residence while maintaining marine-grade reliability.” Because they were brought in at the earliest planning stages, the SMART SAFE PROJECTS team was able to “shape the system from the ground up, rather than adapt to pre-existing constraints.”

“At the core of the installation is a fully custom Crestron ecosystem integrating AV distribution, lighting, climate, shading, and exterior deck control into one seamless interface,” the dealer says. That custom system included a variety of interfaces: “Touch screens and handheld remotes were installed throughout the yacht, and waterproof remotes were placed on exterior decks.”

“We programmed scenes like ‘Guest Arrival,’ ‘Night Mode,’ and ‘Deck Entertainment’ to make operation simple and intuitive. As the project progressed, we added extra features including Wi-Fi 7 coverage for high-speed connectivity, long-distance audio-over-IP, and remote system monitoring.” The owner also asked that some of his legacy audio equipment be integrated into the vessel’s sound system during this refit.

“Each cabin and guest area needed to work independently, but the crew also needed a central control option,” the dealer adds. Crestron solutions filled the bill: “This refit project delivered exactly what the owner wanted.”
