Yacht Marala - Now & The Future
The new owners of Yacht Marala, only the fifth in 88 years, are currently conducting a total refit of the vessel. Stage one saw two years of work undertaken in Malta and included a newly appointed crew mess, crew cabins and an extensive rebuild of the classic motor yacht’s original 1930’s M.A.N. engines.
Stage two is underway and involves a substantial period of renovation at UK superyacht specialist Pendennis Shipyard. The comprehensive restoration includes upgrades to the steelworks, domestic and electrical systems, a completely new guest area, and a number of superstructure modifications that aim to restore her original classic yacht profile. The Yacht Marala owners hope to see her cruising once again in 2021.

Leading London based Interior Design company Muza Lab, were chosen by the Yacht Marala owners for the guest area refit design. Muza Lab work very closely with the owners and have created an exquisite design reminiscent of the Art Deco era when Marala was launched. Many classic wood work features typical of the Camper & Nicholson 1931 build have been sympathetically incorporated into the new design. Silk panel walls, straw parquetry, brass fittings, crystal chandeliers and a fire place are particular features that the owners specified as important to the new design.
