The Famous Refit of Coral Ocean
Undertaking a €35M Refit
Known for its historical significance and innovative design, CORAL OCEAN underwent a significant refit under the ownership of Ahoy Club. The project involved transforming the yacht's original Jon Bannenberg interior and updating various features to meet modern standards. This ambitious undertaking required a knowledgeable and experienced team to ensure a successful outcome.
To achieve the desired transformation of CORAL OCEAN, Ahoy Club collaborated with renowned design firm H2 Yacht Design. Together, we developed an ambitious plan to gut and rebuild two and a half levels of the upper deck, adding approximately 150GT to the yacht's volume. This collaboration allowed Ahoy Club to leverage the expertise of H2 Yacht Design in creating a modern and stylish interior while preserving the yacht's iconic features.

These details significantly contribute to the overall guest experience and set Ahoy Club apart in overseeing refit projects.
