Episode 13

Transforming A Boat Into A Home with a Yacht Interior Designer

When we bought Abide, it was clear that she was built for something more. And part of what helped her reach her potential was the newly designed interior.

In this episode, I sit down with Kate Seremeth, owner of TACK studios and the interior designer behind Abide’s stunning look.

Kate shares her story from starting out in industrial design to becoming a specialist in yacht interiors. Growing up in Maine, surrounded by water, it’s no surprise that Kate found herself drawn to working on boats, but her path into this unique niche is anything but conventional.

Kate talks about the unique challenges she faces designing for the unique features of a sailboat and how she balances human comfort with aesthetics. She gives us an inside look into the process of designing Abide’s interior and shares stories of some of the incredible other projects she’s worked on.

Highlights from this episode:

  • The unique challenges of designing for yachts.
  • Balancing comfort and beauty in yacht interiors.
  • Kate’s process for designing the interior of Abide.
  • Refits vs. new builds and how no project is the same.
  • How Kate designs interiors that ‘feel like the client’.
  • Stories of Kate’s other projects and the ones she’s turned down.

Cheryl Drury

Cheryl stayed home with her four children for many years, where she found her engineering and actuarial science degrees to be surprisingly useful. Together with her husband they also ran a horse boarding barn for several years. As new empty nesters, they sold the farm, moved to Charleston, SC, and bought Abide, a 136' sailboat, with the goal of sailing to as many places around the world as possible.
