The family intends to use the yacht extensively, emphasising a lifestyle rooted in environmental and health-conscious values. In line with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design's</a> ethos of sustainable design, the interior aims to set new standards in eco-friendly luxury. Employing solely natural, non-toxic, or green materials, the design will mirror the natural world while adhering to low electromagnetic field (EMF) and volatile organic compound (VOC) standards to ensure a salubrious habitat. The palette will lean towards earthy hues, matte finishes, and organic textures.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284874/image/large-5cbbc3c9ec476c393fc7b9fc3fab9a9a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284874">Among the curated selection of 'green' materials, the interior will include inventive applications of reclaimed seashell composite, eggshell finishes, Foresso, repurposed fishing nets, woven grass, and Thames wood.

Floor coverings made from recycled fishing nets will not only offer plush comfort but also contribute to reducing oceanic pollution. Ceilings will be adorned with woven grass applications, adding a distinct character to the interior spaces.A noteworthy design highlight will be a living wall adorned with preserved moss, delivering a visual connection with nature and an eye-catching feature on the central staircase. Reclaimed seashell composite will furnish the bathrooms, mimicking the ocean's natural lustre while offering a new purpose to discarded shells. The interior will also incorporate recycled wood chip finishes on various furniture, and palm leather, an ethical alternative to traditional animal leather, will be applied to several furnishings.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284875/image/large-bf1522025432c396834235049b81f825.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284875">On the engineering front, a significant focus will be placed on environmental considerations, including using a selective catalytic reduction system compliant with the International Maritime Organisation's TIER III emission guidelines, thus enabling navigation in protected marine zones such as the Galápagos.The interior will be constructed by a contractor committed to a carbon-neutral operational model, and meticulous monitoring will be carried out by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design’s</a> in-house Sustainability Specialist, in concert with EcoNest, to scrutinise the environmental impact, carbon footprint, and general aesthetics of the materials used.
