The Story of M/Y Emir: A Legendary 20 million euro refit
The journey of M/Y Emir is nothing short of extraordinary. Originally assembled in 1985 in Japan, this timeless vessel has now undergone a pioneering transformation—a complete refit and rebuild that sets new standards in luxury, craftsmanship, and innovation. With a project budget of €20 million and the involvement of world-renowned designers, Georgia Ntota & Associates and Studio Vafiadis, this monumental endeavor was both a massive challenge and an incredible success. The results speak for themselves, but soon you’ll get to witness the entire journey for yourself.
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of our exclusive documentary that reveals every step of Emir’s evolution. From its humble beginnings to becoming a floating masterpiece capable of accommodating up to 28 guests, the story of Emir is one of vision, determination, and exceptional skill.
The refit of M/Y Emir was far more than just an upgrade—it was a reinvention. Every inch of the yacht has been reimagined with meticulous attention to detail. Combining seven-star hotel standards with cutting-edge technology, the new Emir stands as a testament to what can be achieved when creativity and craftsmanship unite.
One of the most impressive features is the integration of smart LED lighting systems that can create customized moods and ambiances for every occasion. Whether guests are looking for an intimate, serene environment or a vibrant social atmosphere, the lighting transforms the yacht into a living, breathing space that adapts to their desires.
The materials chosen for this project reflect unparalleled luxury and quality. The interior features exquisite mahogany paired with premium leatherwork, showcasing the artistry of skilled craftsmen whose experience spans decades. Greek onyx has been incorporated into the design, adding a touch of timeless elegance. These details, along with diamond stitching that resembles the precision and brilliance of a cut diamond, elevate Emir into a royal class of its own.
Achieving this transformation was no small feat. It required a team of experts—designers, engineers, and craftsmen—to work in perfect harmony. Each member brought decades of experience and a relentless drive to deliver perfection. The result? A yacht that redefines luxury at sea, offering a level of comfort and sophistication that rivals the finest establishments on land.
What makes Emir truly special, however, is the spirit behind the project. This refit was not just about creating a beautiful yacht; it was about overcoming challenges, pushing boundaries, and breathing new life into a vessel with a rich history. It is a story of determination, passion, and a commitment to excellence.
While words can describe the beauty and brilliance of M/Y Emir, nothing compares to seeing the transformation unfold before your eyes.
