The Suez Canal Authority (SCA) has increased the transit surcharge applied to yachts using the canal, raising it from 14 percent to 26 percent of normal transit dues.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291466/image/large-ee3cbb034446ab3174540d0191674f33.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291466">The revised surcharge came into effect on 15 July 2026 under SCA Periodical 25/2026 and applies to yachts transiting the canal in both northbound and southbound directions. The increase affects vessels classified by the Authority as "special floating units", a category that includes yachts and pleasure craft.While the surcharge has increased, the SCA's underlying transit tariff for yachts remains unchanged, having last been revised in 2024. The total cost of a transit will continue to depend on a yacht's tonnage, meaning the financial impact will vary between vessels.Read more:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/65528" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="How Gulf tensions are affecting superyacht operations (2026-03-05 13:00:00 +0100)">How Gulf tensions are affecting superyacht operations</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400483/image/large-89587478c15bc83b3f2cd3398218b6b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400483">The Suez Canal is one of the world's most important shipping routes and remains a key passage for superyachts repositioning between the Mediterranean and destinations including the Red Sea, the Arabian Gulf, the Maldives and Southeast Asia. The latest surcharge increase adds to the operational costs associated with long-distance passages through the waterway. The SCA has described the surcharge as temporary and subject to prevailing market conditions.The revised rates come as the Suez Canal continues to operate against a backdrop of reduced commercial traffic in recent years, with many vessels opting to avoid the Red Sea because of regional security concerns.&nbsp;Although some superyachts have continued to use the route, others have chosen alternative passages depending on operational requirements and security assessments.

Suez Canal increases transit surcharge for yachts to 26%

The Suez Canal Authority SCA has increased the transit surcharge applied to yachts using the canal to 26% of normal transit dues.

Luxury has always been central to yacht design, but what defines luxury is changing. Where once the focus centred on expansive entertainment spaces and lavish amenities, today's owners are placing greater value on something less tangible: wellbeing.Across luxury residential and hospitality design, wellness has evolved from a desirable addition to a fundamental design principle. The same shift is now taking place within the superyacht industry, influencing not only the features incorporated on board, but also the way designers think about space, materials and the overall onboard experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399619/image/large-d755755c61405dc5e544229023063dfc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399619">For yacht designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Carla Guilhem (Company)">Carla Guilhem</a>, whose career spans luxury residences, hospitality projects and yacht interiors, the change has been impossible to ignore."I began noticing the shift several years ago as clients started prioritising quality of life over traditional luxury," she explains. "Conversations moved beyond aesthetics and entertainment spaces towards how environments could support health, recovery, longevity and emotional wellbeing."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399618/image/large-9718d69e0a17b306b32cc2ec33d01cc7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399618">A new definition of luxuryToday's yacht owners are increasingly health-conscious and intentional about how they spend their time. Many lead demanding professional lives, travelling frequently and balancing high-pressure careers, making their yacht one of the few places where they can truly disconnect."They view their yacht as a place to recover and reconnect with family," says Carla. "They expect environments that support better sleep, reduced stress, cleaner air and a stronger connection to nature. Wellness is no longer considered a luxury – it is becoming an expectation."That evolution represents a broader shift in the purpose of a yacht. Rather than serving primarily as a platform for entertaining, owners are increasingly seeking spaces that encourage privacy, reflection and meaningful time with loved ones."A decade ago, many yachts were primarily focused on entertaining," Carla notes. "Today, owners are increasingly seeking privacy, recovery, meaningful family experiences and opportunities to disconnect from constant demands."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399620/image/large-99397646557b8672b3fc877434607f6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399620">Lessons from residential designCarla believes her background in residential interiors has been instrumental in shaping her approach to yacht design. While the technical constraints differ, the underlying objective remains the same: creating spaces that enhance everyday life."Residential design taught me that the most successful spaces are the ones that positively influence daily life," she explains. "The goal is not simply to create beautiful spaces, but spaces that genuinely improve how people live and feel."That philosophy is increasingly reflected in yacht interiors, where many of the design principles first established in luxury homes are finding a place on board. Comfort has become as important as craftsmanship, with natural materials, layered textures, softer forms and flexible family spaces replacing more formal, highly decorative interiors.Owners, Carla believes, no longer want a yacht that resembles a luxury hotel. Instead, they are looking for spaces that capture the comfort and familiarity of home while still delivering an exceptional level of refinement.Her experience across residential, hospitality and marine projects also provides an insight into broader lifestyle trends before they become firmly established within the yacht sector."Wellness, longevity, remote work, multigenerational living and experiential luxury all appeared in residential projects before becoming central topics in yacht design discussions," she says.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399621/image/large-a481cddb12b2f269b900cafcae986470.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399621">Wellness beyond the spaAlthough wellness is often associated with onboard spas, gyms and treatment rooms, Carla believes those features represent only a small part of the conversation."For me, wellness is about creating an environment that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing," she says. "It includes light, acoustics, air quality, materials, ergonomics, privacy and connection to nature."Many of these elements are subtle, but together they shape the way people experience a space. Natural daylight, carefully considered acoustics and materials that create warmth and tactility all contribute to an environment that encourages relaxation without drawing attention to themselves."The most important wellness elements are often invisible," Carla explains. "A space that reduces stress, improves sleep, encourages relaxation and creates a sense of balance can be just as impactful as a spa or fitness centre."Applying these principles aboard a yacht inevitably presents additional challenges, but she believes the design intent should remain consistent. "We carefully consider natural light, circadian rhythms, material selection, airflow, acoustics and visual connection to the sea," she says. "Every design decision should contribute to a sense of comfort and harmony."Technology also has an increasingly important role to play, although Carla argues that its success lies in remaining largely unnoticed. "The most successful innovations are often the least visible. Technology should work quietly in the background, supporting comfort, health and personalisation while allowing the design itself to remain warm, tactile and emotionally engaging."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389934/image/large-7e682c4652bc70a30330635657eaedbc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389934">Designing around wellbeingThese ideas ultimately became the foundation for Project WOW, a concept that challenges conventional thinking by placing wellbeing at the centre of every design decision rather than treating it as an additional feature.The project emerged from conversations about the future of luxury and changing owner expectations. Instead of asking which wellness amenities should be incorporated into a yacht, Carla and her team began with a more fundamental question: what would happen if wellbeing became the starting point for the entire design process?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389939/image/large-547bc95ee64178f331ae3c095a2caac4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389939">The answer extends beyond dedicated wellness facilities to encompass every aspect of the interior, from proportion and lighting to colour, texture and spatial flow. Each element has the potential to influence how people think, feel and behave while on board, creating environments that support emotional comfort as much as physical health.Looking ahead, Carla believes wellness will follow a similar trajectory to sustainability, becoming an expected element of every new project rather than a specialist consideration."The future of luxury is not simply about what a yacht offers," she concludes. "It is about how it makes people feel."As client expectations continue to evolve, it is this breadth of experience across residential, hospitality and yacht design that places Carla in an ideal position to respond to a new era of luxury – one in which wellbeing is becoming as fundamental as craftsmanship, comfort and performance.

What began as a four-month mission to complete the interior of a 78-metre custom yacht has evolved into a major interior manufacturing operation. Founded in 2020 by long-time industry colleagues Roger Myers and Cyril Bieri,&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7319" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Interiors (Company)">Superyacht Interiors Dubai</a>&nbsp;has grown from a team of 172 craftsmen into a workforce of more than 350 specialists, delivering complex yacht interiors, bespoke furniture packages and high-end residential projects from facilities in Dubai and Oman. We spoke with Roger about the systems, facilities and strategies that underpin their approach.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400470/image/large-4ceb08833994d9b729841ee78f6e196b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400470">What has been the most significant change in the business since completing your first yacht project?The biggest transformation has been in our engineering and manufacturing capabilities. In the beginning, our focus was on assembling the right team and delivering the interior of the 78-metre yacht to the standards expected by European shipyards and designers. Since then, we have invested heavily in engineering, production systems and machinery. What started as a project-driven operation has evolved into a fully integrated manufacturing business with dedicated engineering departments, advanced CNC machining capabilities, specialised finishing facilities and robust quality control systems. Our objective has always been to combine traditional yacht craftsmanship with modern manufacturing processes while maintaining the standards expected within the superyacht sector.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400467/image/large-60153eb48725bce03601f1af50379f27.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400467">How has your production capacity evolved as the company has grown?When we launched, we had 172 employees. Today, our core workforce sits at around 350 specialists, although we have demonstrated the ability to scale significantly when projects require it. During peak production on an ongoing Northern European project, we expanded to almost 500 personnel to support areas such as finishing, veneer preparation and painting. At standard production levels, we’re able to deliver approximately 1,200-square-metres of luxury yacht interiors annually. With extended shifts and overtime, that capacity increases to around 1,500-square-metres.One of the key lessons we've learned is that capacity is not simply about workforce numbers. It’s about understanding production bottlenecks and investing in the areas that create the greatest efficiencies. Paint, veneer processing and machining all involve curing or drying periods, so extending operations through additional shifts allows us to maximise utilisation of those assets.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400468/image/large-bbfff37808bf54abf0581945a33727ca.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400468">You have recently invested significantly in engineering and digital manufacturing. What is driving that strategy?Efficiency is a major focus for us as we look towards the future. Over the past year, we have invested heavily in CAD+T engineering software alongside ERP and SAP systems that allow us to track materials and components throughout the production process. Traditionally, yacht interiors have relied heavily on 2D engineering. We’re now transitioning towards fully integrated 3D workflows. The advantage is that the engineering model automatically generates bills of materials, cut lists and manufacturing information, which can then be transferred directly to our production machinery. Alongside the software investment, we have recruited highly experienced specialists from leading European yacht interior companies to support the implementation. Our goal is for the majority of our engineering output to be delivered through these integrated digital systems over the next 12 months.What investments have you made on the manufacturing side?We’ve invested approximately €2 million in machinery and equipment, with a long-term investment plan of around €4 million over the next five years. This includes new 5-axis and 4-axis CNC machining centres, upgraded spray-line systems and additional finishing capabilities. We have also expanded our paint operations significantly, with two large spray facilities now fully operational and a third currently being introduced. These investments are already generating substantial gains in efficiency, production quality and programme reliability. At the same time, we continue to invest in people. Technology is important, but it still relies on skilled craftsmen, engineers and project managers to deliver the final result.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400471/image/large-0fb460c7fc1ccd3662c37cb698e733d6.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400471">How does the new Oman facility fit into your manufacturing strategy?Capacity was certainly one factor, but the facility is really about manufacturing optimisation. The Oman facility has been established as a dedicated machining centre and houses much of our newest CNC equipment, focusing on high-volume cutting and machining operations. By relocating these activities, we can maintain a cleaner, quieter and more controlled production environment in Dubai, which is where clients visit for factory acceptance tests, mock-ups and project reviews. Machining generates dust, noise and material movement. Separating those activities allows us to improve workflow efficiency while creating a better environment for assembly, finishing and client interaction.&nbsp;How important is vertical integration to your business model?It’s fundamental. One of the reasons we remain competitive internationally is because we undertake a significant amount of work in-house. We have dedicated engineering, joinery, upholstery, finishing and metalworking capabilities operating within the same organisation. That allows us to maintain control over programme schedules, quality standards and costs. It also improves communication between departments and reduces reliance on external suppliers. For yacht projects, where tolerances are extremely tight and schedules are often compressed, that level of integration is a major advantage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400469/image/large-d88220b7d5cbb05fa65d2796fe97e3df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400469">Looking ahead, what will define the next stage of growth for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7319" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Interiors (Company)">Superyacht Interiors Dubai</a>?Growth remains important, but craftsmanship remains at the centre of everything we do.

Designed by Herward A. Oehlmann and constructed under the project name Animos, the yacht was completed in 1990 as the Butterfly McQueen for an owner based in the Far East.At the time she was being described as the "World's Most Advanced Sailing Yacht", a statement that was probably true owing to the vessel's highly automated control systems.

She was the largest and fastest boat on the starting line.She was also the world's largest fibreglass sailing yacht when she was completed in 1972. Length overall was 39.13-metres with a displacement of 88 tonnes.

However, the yacht proved uneconomical to repair and a new hull had to be moulded from the original.This new yacht would be christened Friday Star-Vendredi 13 with a luxurious interior by Jacques Pierrejean. Completed in 1994 her new length is 42.10-metres with a beam of 5.76-metres and a draft of 4.20-metres, Displacement was now 95 tonnes.
