Curating Art for Yachts
Having worked on over 40 superyachts, we understand the unique needs of the yacht environment – working with private clients, yards, designers and contractors.
Ensuring flawless integration, we commission bespoke artworks that meet technical, structural and material requirements. Every piece is adapted with specialist solutions for fixings and finishes, prepared for life at sea.

A Collection at Sea
Developing a complete collection, we commissioned entirely bespoke art;
including hand-blown and optical glass sculptures by leading British artists
Adapted to the Yacht Environment
Artworks were integrated into structural elements with specialist sea-fastenings, such as this fused glass art installation that was made by the artist for this wall panel
Artist Collaboration
Each artwork incorporated exquisite materials, such as the hand-applied gold leaf panels for the stairwell, & an embroidered silk feature artwork in the Main Cabin

Elegant Presentation
Our curators developed bespoke presentation solutions and frames for each artwork, such as this wall sculpture created from leaves of hand-dyed porcelain
A Promise of Longevity
Since all artworks were commissioned for the yacht and made bespoke by leading artists, the onboard collection becomes an asset to the yacht owner – whether they want to charter, sell, or enjoy for years to come

Artist Research & Concept Development
As the epitome of luxury, yachts should inspire awe the moment one steps onboard.
Our team conducts thorough, holistic research into potential themes and artworks that consider the interior design, whilst reflecting the owner’s personal taste in preferred art styles and art investment goals to craft a harmonious visual journey. With a global network of associates and a database of over 15,000 artists, our art advisory ensures an innovative, timeless collection.
Custom Art Collections
Each custom yacht has very specific requirements and often the art is commissioned bespoke for yacht interiors.

We blend technical expertise with creativity, ensuring that the owner’s art aspirations are met, while achieving functional excellence.

Technical Yacht Expertise & Durability
Navigating the technical complexities of superyacht art demands specialist knowledge. We welcome every challenge to seek elegant and efficient solutions.
Artelier has in-depth knowledge and expertise to address and adhere to technical aspects for yacht art collections. These include sea air humidity; sea-fastening/fixings; yacht engine vibrations; weight restrictions; fire & toxicity, and other superyacht safety regulations.
Insurance & Tax
Owning a yacht art collection can present certain challenges for insurance, often with high level investment pieces requiring strict security and atmospheric control.
Artelier is well versed in guiding yacht owners on their artwork collection and insurance restrictions. Equally, owning artwork onboard a superyacht can present certain challenges as the art collection moves between jurisdictions. Artelier can help superyachts owners navigate these waters.
