Clear Yacht Interiors and Ocean Marine Yacht Center have announced the formation of a strategic alliance that will enable Ocean Marine’s Portsmouth shipyard to offer complete yard and interior design/build services.
 
“Our goal is to offer owners and captains the expertise and convenience of comprehensive services. With Clear Yacht Interiors as part of our team, we are able to create seamless refits, ensuring a streamlined process for our clients by executing everything from technical requirements, paint and repair services to interior design and custom build-outs,” said Jim Bento, President and CEO of Ocean Marine.
 
Joyce Clear, owner of Clear Yacht Interiors, said of the new partnership:

“This is an exciting time for us. Our philosophy has always been to offer clients a full service experience. This is why we are positioned as one of the only international interior design firms with full joinery and custom woodworking capabilities in addition to our full-service offerings including everything from interior design and fabrication to installation of nearly every interior design element. Our new relationship with Ocean Marine takes this a step further by offering clients a remarkable integrated yacht refit experience.”
 
Ocean Marine’s facilities currently inclue a 1,250-ton Syncrolift capable of hauling superyachts up to 72m via a ground level rail transfer system to the paint/repair building capable which has capacity for two vessels. Both bays of the indoor paint repair facility offer a cascading water wall washdown system, smooth paneled walls, overhead and recessed surround lighting, pressurised ventilation system, and heated floors for continuous 12-month activity.

Clear Yacht Interiors is redesigning a building within the 76,890m² shipyard to cater to captains and crew with a lounge, computer stations, media centre and conference room. The area will be used to showcase the company's design capabilities including custom furniture, cabinetry, carpeting, decorative wall finishes, upholstery, soft goods and their upcoming LED lighting line.
 
“We have a dedicated space that reflects the talents of our integrated design and joinery team, as well as a place to demonstrate state-of-the-art technology including audio/visual, lighting and galley equipment as well as new product lines we have designed and launched,” said Clear. In addition to incorporating a comprehensive interior design studio, Clear Yacht Interiors will have a new state-of-the-art custom joinery shop, expanding upon the capabilities of the joinery shop Ocean Marine currently has on site.
 
“We look forward to giving owners, captains and crew the opportunity to experience space in a new way. It spurs idea generation, custom design approach, and includes everything required for interior design planning as well as computer and hand-rendering capabilities,” she added.
