I’m not a sailor. I don’t hold a license, and I didn’t spend my childhood summers trimming sails. My world has always revolved around creativity, aesthetics, and the deeper experience of space. While I’m from Berlin, what shaped me wasn’t just that very stubborn city. It’s that personal journey defined by curiosity, design, and a refusal to do things the expected way. To follow my gut. That spirit brought MQ7 to life.
MQ7 isn’t just a yacht. It’s a deliberate shift from how things are normally done in the charter industry. It’s not about what’s efficient. Instead, it’s my personal vision of how I would want to be welcomed aboard: through all the senses, on the same level I’m used to as a guest who deeply values design, discretion, and the kind of effortless luxury you only find in the most thoughtfully run boutique hotels – like in Vienna, Paris, or Zürich.
That vision didn’t come from the sea—it came from land, from years of exploring how spaces live and breathe. I studied graphic design, worked briefly in the field, lived in Portugal, and worked as a professional florist. I traveled solo, often choosing places for their design, light, or service rhythm.
Later, after an Ayurvedic reset in Sri Lanka, I led the full redesign of a big Berlin property which I now know prepared me for the MQ7.
When I presented the yacht to industry professionals, I often heard, “You’ve invested too much in details, it’s not efficient.“ But I wasn’t building something to fit in. I was creating something I believe in – something I love. This wasn’t for the average guest; it was for people who care about meaning over safe standards.
Unlike the typical charter yacht – uniformly white and built for durability – MQ7 is curated down to the last detail. No hidden extras. Everything is included, and everything is considered.
You’ll find stand-up paddleboards with convertible kayak function, proper snorkeling sets in different sizes and a fully electric kitchen with a Miele steam oven, large enough for a freshly caught bonito. There’s a serious coffee setup too – no capsules, just beans you choose before arrival and grind yourself for a flat white, espresso, or latte macchiato.
The color palette? A cool, metallic green that shifts with the light – confident, elegant and bold without effort. From the outside into the inside. Every element was chosen with the same care you’d find in a tailored suit. In the master cabin, a sculptural Occhio lamp sits on a warm wooden ground.
The lounge feels like a private bar. Bathrooms feature refined Gessi fixtures in different colors, and the solar panel is of course seamlessly integrated into the design – functional, but invisible.
Even storage on the flybridge has been designed with precision: built-in boxes keep your belongings secure in motion while offering discreet comforts like phone charging and integrated light. Self-invented! One of my favorite places onboard are the brown couch and table – a nod to my grandfather’s old leather chair and their green marble windowsills. Tom Dixon’s ‘Melt’ catapults the setting into the presence.
On deck real lounge chairs – comfortable, not just decorative. The bar? Real Martini and cocktail glasses. And snakes on gold glass holders. Every object has a reason for being there.
Food sensitivities? Gluten intolerance? Prefer organic body products or fresh-baked bread instead of plastic-wrapped toast? No problem. These needs are anticipated, not treated as special requests.
On MQ7, asking for extras is unnecessary – they’re already included. Because MQ7 is unique. And so are you. Extra isn’t something to justify. It’s the baseline!
What started first with a messy Social Media Presentation and an indecisive structure taught me to put it all back. Into my own hands again. Which sharpened my vision just more. Because it’s all my creation.
So if you are someone who sees what others overlook –
who believes that design and functionality can live in perfect rhythm – , if you care more about how space feels than not just where it is and if you value discretion and authenticity, then MQ7 is exactly your choice to feel like home!
