The main saloon is framed by structural columns clad in recycled nautical sailcloth, while her dining area features a sculptural table with a gear-shaped metal base and a wood top inlaid with pressed tobacco leaves. Surrounding chairs in curved wood are detailed with bronzed accents and ivory hammered leather, creating a design that defines the yacht’s onboard character. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395274/image/large-07e95344530c0eee52e87e2688e66a4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395274"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395268/image/large-f299ae95b83285b23c4618adf9b45a9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395268">At the centre of the space, two custom boomerang-shaped sofas in white chenille and dove-grey leather divide the lounge from the dining area.

Dubbed the “madame office”, it’s a celebration of colour and individuality.

Maintaining and modernising existing superyachts is a process that requires dedicated expertise and precision - both of which are deeply integrated into the philosophy at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a>. Each project that enters the yard, whether a new-build, refit, rebuild or maintenance, receives unparalleled care.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362083/image/large-fbeb955eb34cc5a27b4157d515eb00eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362083">Refitting excellence&nbsp;For more than a century, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> have branded themselves not only as a builder of some of the most groundbreaking superyachts, but they also have a strong refit and services facility - one that has, over time, become a crucial element of the yard.&nbsp;Working with an existing structure, the refit process differs from that of a new-build. There are more restrictions to work with and varying factors to consider, unlike working with a blank canvas. While every refit is different, depending not only on the brief of the client, but also on the technical elements of the yacht being refitted, the yard has worked to create a largely streamlined refit process.“We have a standard order of operation,” shares Swen Westerdijk, Head of Refit at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a>. The process commences with an initial analysis, ensuring the team understands all that needs to be done during the refit; from there the most strategic way to go about the refit is planned out. Once the strategy and outline are ready, the refit goes into the engineering and procurement phase before everything is carried out and executed.&nbsp;The duration of this time, and the extent of each refit depends, of course, on the yacht and the owner’s wishes. While the process is standardised as much as possible, the execution and internal activities vary from yacht to yacht. “The key to a successful refit lies in thorough preparation before the work begins,” Swen emphasises.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280121/image/large-a8b36c5277760081ecb6711350eaea7f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280121">Current refitsTypically, the refit and services sector of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> yard plans for two to three refits per year, yet the number heavily depends on timelines or delays in the supply chain. The latter, however, is something for which <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> is well-prepared: the yard has spare parts inventory ensuring they are prepared and independent of supplier timelines.Currently, the yard is working on an extensive refit of a superyacht that was built at the very same facilities in the early 2000s. There is a logistical advantage in refitting a superyacht at the facility it was built, but more than that, there’s something magical about getting to build a project and also be granted the responsibility to refit it two decades later. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/8499/image/large-a5715887142df531d75fd512eb5c4327.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/8499">Refitting ‘foreign’ vessels&nbsp;Not all yachts that make their way to the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> facilities for a refit were built by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">A&amp;R</a>. The team also undertakes refit projects of other vessels. “The differences are not actually as great as one might think,” shares Swen. “Should technical documentation be missing, we are able to create a digital twin very quickly.” Not only that, but the yard has ample in-house expertise, especially in design and project planning, which enables them to carry out even the most complex kinds of refit.In 2025, the yard refitted the 73-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a>. Swen shares how “the key to it being a successful refit was a clear project structure and close, ongoing communication between us and the client, owner’s representative and crew.” Regular meetings, transparent progress reports and centrally managed project management ensured that all parties were fully informed during all stages of the refit. “This open communication enabled us to identify challenges at an early stage,” Swen notes, “which in turn allowed us to make decisions efficiently and ensure each project is completed on time and within budget. The excellent cooperation between all the parties ensured the success of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a>’s refit.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347943/image/large-5325bae30977acf57effd97cbdc68d77.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347943">Refit challengesNo matter how big or small the project, each refit comes with its own set of challenges. Yet surprisingly, “the biggest challenge is not usually the technical work, but rather the combination of limited space onboard, existing structures and owner expectations,” notes Swen, “and doing so whilst adhering to time and budget constraints.”While every superyacht brings challenges unique to their layout and structure, they tend to fit into one of three categories: technical constraints, weight and stability requirements, and short dockyard periods. Other challenges that the yard runs into more frequently are the integration of new technologies and the classification and flag state regulations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/34390/image/large-1f63d71ec224f5b040cf9fe05bc874e8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/34390">However, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> is not unfamiliar with these challenges, and has various systems in place to navigate anything that pops up along the refit journey. This includes an initial comprehensive assessment of the project and what needs to be done, as well as getting all the stakeholders involved from a very early stage. Before any refit project commences, the team at the yard undertakes a detailed digital plan, involving a thorough risk management, as well as defining clear priorities of the project and updating those along the way.&nbsp;Yet possibly the greatest challenge the team comes across “is to create a modern, bespoke result without upsetting the balance of the existing yacht structure, safety, certification and schedule” Swen notes. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/34391/image/large-55bc100614e5e28bb95ed82212ad380f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/34391">The refit and service sector of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> strives to give yachts a second life and to create, out of an existing vessel, something that feels new and unique. “One of our core objectives is to breathe new life into our customers’ vessels,” notes Swen. “It’s not just about maintaining the value of the yacht, but about adding value.”

Abeking & Rasmussen’s refit & service branch: Breathing new life into the superyacht sector

A look inside the refit & service facility of Abeking & Rasmussen.

There are over 50 billion light bulbs in circulation globally, the vast majority LED-based. But the evolution from incandescent to fluorescent and now LED has come with unintended consequences, particularly for our biology. Increasingly, that means bringing wellness into the heart of onboard systems, and lighting is one of the most powerful tools for doing that. Michael Meeneghan, founder of system integrators MP Tech in the UK, looks into engineering circadian-friendly lighting at sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397073/image/large-8a6f614768b4a055483b03c753d7fccc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397073">Modern mass-market LED luminaires are predominantly built around a “blue pump” architecture. This architecture boosts luminous efficacy by amplifying the blue portion of the spectrum (typically ~450nm) and then converting some of it into other wavelengths using phosphors.&nbsp;While technically impressive and energy-efficient, the issue is spectral imbalance. Blue-rich white light, especially in the evening hours, suppresses melatonin production, the hormone responsible for sleep onset. This leads to circadian rhythm disruption (SCRD), manifesting in poor sleep quality, fatigue, cognitive decline, and long-term health risks. For those at sea, crossing time zones, working night shifts, or living in enclosed, artificially lit environments, the risks are magnified. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397074/image/large-0b490baf7772bd1cbd895380dbf78c73.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397074">What is Circadian-friendly lighting?&nbsp;Circadian lighting is about aligning artificial illumination with the body’s internal 24-hour clock. Human-centric lighting (HCL) systems do this by varying both colour temperature and intensity throughout the day:&nbsp;• Cool, bright light (~5000–6500K) in the morning stimulates alertness and cognitive performance.&nbsp;• Warm, dimmed light (~1800–2700K) in the evening promotes relaxation and sleep readiness.&nbsp;But HCL is not just about colour temperature; it’s also about spectral fidelity, flicker control, and CRI (colour rendering index). Truly circadian-supportive lighting delivers high CRI (ideally 95+), flicker-free performance, and a balanced spectral output that respects human biology.&nbsp;These are the standards that MP Tech has adopted when designing and commissioning lighting schemes for yachts, with a focus on ensuring biological alignment without compromising visual quality.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397075/image/large-3c2a7a8b5196bdcbc153ad8c24a44620.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397075">Why this matters on a superyacht&nbsp;Unlike land-based homes, yacht interiors are removed from natural daylight cycles. Guests move across time zones, crew work non-traditional shifts, and spaces are often enclosed with limited exposure to sunlight. In such conditions, artificial lighting becomes the dominant environmental cue for the body. For crew, this means supporting shift-work without compromising health. For guests, it means enhancing comfort, reducing jet lag, and creating spaces that feel intuitively “right”, whether waking up in the Med or winding down in the Caribbean.&nbsp;Sleep and Circadian Disruption (SCRD) isn’t always dramatic – it accumulates. But its impact is real and can lead to reduced sleep quality, lower productivity, mood volatility and slower recovery. In luxury hospitality, where every detail matters, lighting becomes both an aesthetic and a physiological asset.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397071/image/large-4e5955784fa2513194673e69d7f36b4a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397071">Moving to better standards It’s not uncommon to find beautifully crafted, high-value luminaires aboard yachts that are fitted with subpar light engines. The result? Ornate fixtures delivering flickering, low-CRI, spectrally imbalanced light that undercuts both wellness and visual impact. This dissonance between decorative quality and lighting quality requires thoughtful re-engineering to resolve. The key is to respect the design intent while addressing performance shortfalls that can affect wellbeing.&nbsp;Fortunately, the lighting industry is progressing. New human-centric lighting standards now prioritise:&nbsp;• Flicker-free drivers with high-frequency PWM or DC dimming • High CRI LED chips, often approaching CRI 98+&nbsp;• Tunable white modules with dynamic CCT from warm white to cool white&nbsp;• Full-spectrum LEDs that eliminate blue spike and restore spectral balance&nbsp;These technologies are more compact, marine-compatible, increasingly retrofit- friendly, and typically combine: • Tunable white luminaires with dual-channel or multi-channel LED modules • Intelligent controls that adjust scenes automatically or via user inputs • Sensors and automation that adapt to time of day, presence or ambient light&nbsp;When lighting designers work closely with yacht architects and AV-integrators to specify, program and commission these systems, the result is lighting that flows with the rhythm of life, not against it. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397076/image/large-d9c9e416c484bc6996c480d8739d824c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397076">From design to delivery&nbsp;For new builds, early engagement is critical. Lighting design conversations should be had at concept stage to ensure that both technical and experiential requirements are addressed holistically. Each project starts with a light-use audit, mapping the way each space is used throughout the day and night. From there, tailored control strategies are developed and appropriate luminaires and drivers supplied, managing installation and commissioning through to final handover.&nbsp;For refits, improvements can still be significant, from replacing existing fittings and fixtures with flicker-free, high CRI LED, all the way to upgrading ornate and bespoke fixtures through re-chipping – replacing old LED modules with high-spec, flicker-free alternatives – preserving visual continuity while delivering a measurable step forward in performance and wellbeing.&nbsp;While guest areas are often the focus of design, crew quarters, corridors and service areas require just as much attention. Lighting in these spaces influences alertness, fatigue and productivity – key factors in operational excellence. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397072/image/large-af2a3cfb4818d508d6436e785f8eefe2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397072">The future of Circadian lighting&nbsp;As understanding of circadian biology continues to evolve, so too does lighting technology. We are now exploring full-spectrum lighting profiles that better simulate sunrise, midday and dusk; the integration of near-infrared (IR) and UV elements for skin stimulation and environmental hygiene; and wearable data integration to adapt lighting in real time based on user chronotype or sleep cycles.&nbsp;These innovations will likely become part of the next generation of wellness-centred yacht systems. Whether in a new build or a smart retrofit, lighting doesn’t just illuminate, it enhances life at sea.&nbsp;
