Time and sea conditions can leave even the finest boats with worn interiors and outdated layouts. At Accomar, we specialize in boat interior restoration, breathing new life into vessels without losing their original soul. Whether it’s a teak-paneled yacht from the ’80s or a fiberglass speedboat from the 2000s, we bring craftsmanship, technology, and a sharp design eye to every restoration project.
Restoring Aged Boat Interiors with Precision
Every boat tells a story—and our job is to restore it without erasing its past. We start with a full condition audit, evaluating moisture levels, wood health, corrosion zones, and outdated electrical layouts. Our core restoration techniques include:
- Panel replacement with matching grain and marine-grade varnish
- Re-upholstery using UV-resistant marine fabrics
- Wiring upgrades integrated invisibly behind bulkheads
Modern Upgrades for Classic Vessels
Restoration doesn’t mean turning back the clock — it means adapting old designs to modern standards. Accomar offers:
- Touchscreen navigation stations with ergonomic paneling
- LED strip lighting to highlight wood finishes and improve efficiency
- Space-saving modular furniture for cabins and galleys
On one classic motorboat, we replaced a bulky chart table with a sliding console, freeing up space for a foldable berth. The owner said it was “like gaining an extra meter of boat.”
Tackling Moisture and Structural Damage
Water intrusion is the silent destroyer of marine interiors. We specialize in moisture mapping and damage reversal through:
- Vacuum resin injection in delaminated panels
- Replacing warped deckheads with lightweight composite boards
- Sealing joints with long-life marine caulking
In one yacht project, we uncovered salt crystallization behind veneer panels — a clear sign of long-term leaks. Fixing that took not just tools, but intuition built from years of sea-borne repair experience.
Sustainable Materials in Restoration Projects
Restoring doesn’t mean wasting. Whenever possible, we source:
- Reclaimed teak from decommissioned vessels
- Low-VOC adhesives and sealants for cabin air safety
- Bamboo-based composites for high-humidity environments
Case Study: Coastal Cruiser Transformation
A recent project involved a 12-meter cruiser that had suffered from years of neglect. The interior was dark, moldy, and uninviting. We:
- Replaced all vinyl with breathable marine canvas
- Opened up the galley layout to introduce more daylight
- Installed silent ventilation fans and ambient LED lighting
Today, that boat is not just restored — it’s reborn. The owner now charters it for coastal photography tours and says passengers always comment on how “fresh and purposeful” the interior feels.
