Stepping aboard M/Y Boardwalk, a guest is transported into a world of elegance, opulence and comfort. Classic designs are enhanced with eye-catching details that delight and entice a guest to enter a space, to absorb the beauty of their surroundings and immerse themselves in the experience of being at sea.

Every detail on M/Y Boardwalk has been considered by Halffman Designs. The design is an intentional extension of light rippling across the water into the rooms and back out across the sea. The rooms glimmer by design. Each lighting fixture is placed with purpose, interior and exterior lights illuminate and connect with the design of the hull, the curve of the staircase, the glint of crystal pulls, the sparkle of moonlight stretching across the water. In the main foyer, a custom Swarovski white rock quartz crystal and polished nickel chandelier hangs above a spiral staircase.

Halffman Designs drew their original inspiration for the design from an Estella Fransbergen sculpture of a woman’s torso emerging from a spiral of sparkling crystals and pearls. Inspired to think about luxury and beauty and how they intertwine with functionality and comfort, Amy Halffman designed M/Y Boardwalk: She is luxury, She is comfort, She takes your breath away and feels like home.

Almost everything on board is custom, from the furniture to the lighting fixtures and design, to the art that adorns the walls or the commissioned Estella Fransbergen sculpture glittering at the base of the grand staircase. Halffman Designs had the opportunity to work with the best upholsterers, work-rooms, artists, craftsman, lighting designers on the details and finishes. They carefully selected all the crafts people and vendors involved in this project, looking for the best. For Halffman Designs, without these artisans and craftsmen, this boat would be an empty hull.
