In this episode, Ben Taylor visits Superyacht Interiors (SYI) in Dubai for an in-depth tour and conversation with Robert Myers, Director of Refit. Together, they explore how SYI evolved from a one-off 78m project into a fast-growing interiors powerhouse serving new builds, refits, and custom projects across the Middle East. This is a story of generational craftsmanship, modular production, and smart supply chain thinking—delivered with transparency and strategic precision. For shipyards, captains, project managers, and suppliers, this episode reveals what it takes to scale high-end yacht interiors in a region where the industrial growth is outpacing the ecosystem.
Key Points
- UAE interior ecosystem lacks supply chain depth
- SYI growing fast with European-standard refit capacity
- Generational talent drives quality and long-term value
