EMERALD ISLE

Susan Puleo's interior design aboard EMERALD ISLE centers on a revolutionary glass-walled main salon that dissolves the boundary between indoor comfort and ocean views. Floor-to-ceiling windows curve around the social heart of this 36.58-meter Christensen, creating an almost greenhouse effect where natural light floods Italian leather seating and polished teak surfaces throughout the day. The sensation is one of floating within the seascape rather than simply observing it from behind traditional yacht barriers. Howard Apollonio's exterior lines complement this transparency with clean deck spaces that flow naturally from the luminous salon to expansive outdoor lounging areas. Accommodating twelve guests across elegantly appointed staterooms, the yacht maintains an intimate scale despite her generous proportions, with six crew ensuring attentive service without crowding the experience. Built in 2000, EMERALD ISLE represents Christensen's commitment to livable luxury, where architectural innovation serves the simple pleasure of being surrounded by water and light in equal measure.
