2026 Interior Refit on Eternal Spark
The interior refit of ETERNAL SPARK shows a careful and practical approach to modern yacht design. The project focuses on improving daily operations and long-term use rather than making only visual changes. By redesigning the bridge deck pantry and the main deck galley the refit creates a better working environment while meeting all safety standards.
A key part of the refit project on ETERNAL SPARK in Varna is the removal of the food lift. This interior elevator for food connected the galley, with the pantry and sundeck two decks but no longer served a useful purpose. It was unreliable and often out of service. Removing it allows for better use of space and creates a safer interior layout.
Refit Planning for ETERNAL SPARK
The interior refit of ETERNAL SPARK shows how good design can improve everyday work on board. Removing unused structures and reorganizing service areas improved movement between decks. It also reduced crowding during busy periods.
The project benefited from close cooperation between engineers and crew. Many changes were based on real experience from daily operations. These included better waste handling and improved circulation routes.
The refit focuses on strength and long-term use rather than decoration. This reflects modern expectations in yacht management where interior design supports operations.
As yachts remain in service longer interior refits are becoming more important. The upgrade of ETERNAL SPARK shows how focused changes can extend a vessel’s useful life without major rebuilding.
Interior Optimization
The interior refit will turn the pantry into a fully functional work area. The seating will be removed with and wall coverings and insulation will be taken out. Part of the former food lift wall will be removed according to technical plans.
New space will be prepared for refrigeration, like wine storage, dishwashers and sinks. Custom furniture will be built to bring all these elements together into one practical layout.
Noise control will also be improved; soundproofing materials will be installed between the pantry and the captain’s cabin, which will reduce disturbance during daily operations. Emergency exit arrangements were reviewed and updated with authorities.
Decorative panels and old wall coverings were removed.
Instead of adding complex systems, the project improves safety through smart design. This shows how layout changes can strongly affect a yacht’s safety.
Before the refit, the bridge deck pantry had many different uses. It included seating, storage and service areas. Over time, the seating became storage space and the foldable table blocked movement, and waste bins and air-conditioning units reduced work room.
Interior Refit of Yacht ETERNAL SPARK and Main Deck Galley Reconfiguration
The main deck galley is the centre of food preparation on ETERNAL SPARK. Before the refit, it was limited by the food lift and outdated wall systems. The new design focuses on improving the space and workflow.
Ineffective insulation and panels will be taken out, like the aluminium wall, which will be removed while keeping enough structure to support the deck above. The food lift and its shaft were completely removed.
Plumbing and service lines will be moved to connect with the new pantry layout. This will make it easier to place equipment where it was most useful. New furniture will also be installed based on detailed plans. The result will be more storage and larger preparation areas.
Throughout the process, the fireproof boundaries of the galley will be unchanged.
Functional Design
By removing the shaft and closing the opening with strong aluminum panels and fire insulation, the refit of the food lift allows for more storage area in the crew quarters, as well as in the rest of the decks connected with the lift. This reduces the chance of fire spreading between levels.
Since electrical systems and plumbing were already easy to access, the refit could be completed without major structural work. All changes were kept inside protected zones. This helped preserve the vessel’s fire safety systems and certifications.
By removing outdated systems, improving safety barriers and reorganising workspaces, the refit prepares the yacht for improved future use. It also offers a practical example for other vessels facing similar challenges.
This interior refit is a careful modernisation project guided by efficiency, and as ETERNAL SPARK grows in reputation, projects like this will help her stay relevant in an ever-demanding market.
