Art on Deck

Superyachts are no longer just symbols of lavish travel, they are evolving into curated cultural spaces where fine arts, design, and innovation meet.Recently, I discovered that Vessels from companies like Aqua Expeditions or PONANT are being transformed into true floating galleries, featuring paintings and sculptures as integral elements of their interiors. This shift doesn't appears just aesthetic, it demands museum-level curatorial practices: anti-UV protection, climate control, and conservation-aware framing to protect artworks. This growing synergy between the art world and the luxury yacht industry is giving rise to bespoke collections, thoughtfully integrated into the architecture of each vessel and tailored to the tastes of collectors.

As art finds new homes beyond museums and galleries, what creative opportunities does this open for artists, curators, and collectors alike?
