RM wraps was hired to give the upper and lower decks of this yacht a facelift starting in the summer of 2016. The owner of this yacht was having work done elsewhere on the vessel, and had extensive travel plans - RM wraps worked around all of this, only wrapping on the boat when it wasn’t being used. Because of this, Randy traveled to the boat 3 separate times, finally wrapping up the project in the fall of 2018.
This is one of the more drastic transformations we’ve had the ability to give one of our customers because they wanted to go with such a dark wood grain and solid black over the existing bright glossy maple that was originally installed in this yacht. Overall this project used about 2.5 rolls of material.

Table Legs & Table Top: Step By Step
This project had one rather unique aspect - the saloon dining table legs. The vertical columns did not separate from the bottom feet in any way, so Randy had to get creative in how to completely wrap the units using multiple pieces of vinyl, and create a seamless and visually pleasing finished product. You can see how he accomplished this in the photos below.

Why to Choose Refinishing with Architectural Films
Unmatched Speed & Zero Unnecessary Grounding
Every day your vessel sits at the dock for a traditional wood veneer refit, it costs you thousands in lost utility or charter revenue. Traditional sanding, varnishing, and curing (and/or re-fabrication) can ground you for weeks or months. We can apply premium architectural films directly to stable existing substrates on-site with minimal prep required. Our entire process takes days or weeks—not months—allowing you to get back in the water quickly.
Unobtrusive On-Site Installation
Traditional joinery and wood restorations require extensive demolition, loud machinery, and toxic, foul-smelling solvents that disrupt all other onboard activities. We provide a completely clean, practically-silent installation process. Our master installers work seamlessly alongside your scheduled mechanical maintenance teams.
Advanced Architectural Films vs. Heavy Replacement
Our elite refits utilize world-class architectural films (like 3M DI-NOC) that perfectly mimic the texture, depth, and grain of natural exotic woods, brushed metals, and luxury leathers. These wrap materials are purpose-made to provide premium, factory-grade finishes, while being engineered to stand up to everyday wear and tear and still look brand-new years into service. They allow us to create dramatic transformations without the massive cost, environmental waste, or heavy weight penalties of total material replacement.
