Superyachts with Libraries have a long history. The engravings below of the sumptuous interior of Lady Brassey's Sunbeam in 1870.       

  The needs of a Superyacht are very much akin to those of a big house. Fashions and trends change and evolve, but the idea of comfort, of a 'home from home' of entertaining and creating the ultimate interior is timeless.

The Narcissus in 1905 was one of the many large steam yachts of the period which were fitted out with all the furnishings and comforts of a large house.

Today, it may be that the days of ostentation and over the top decor have been left behind in the 1990's, and recently the new generation of owners desire that their boats are utilised to spend time with friends and family. 

The heart of the gathering spaces is the Dining space, with the Sundeck and Bar. Break-out space often a Cinema, another gathering space.  Quiet spaces for relaxation,  demand calm and cozy surroundings. The Library of a Country House offers a haven of rest and relaxation. A Library on a Superyacht creates this idyll.
