Originally launched by ISA Yachts, the 45.5-metre Panakeia embarked on a comprehensive 14-month transformation that redefined nearly every aspect of the vessel. What began as an ambitious vision evolved into a complex international undertaking involving a complete redesign of the interiors, extensive mechanical and electrical upgrades, new furnishings and textiles sourced from around the world, and a full exterior renewal including fresh paintwork, new decking and numerous design improvements.

As lead designer for the new interiors and an active participant throughout the refit process, my role extended well beyond visual documentation. For over a year, I worked closely with shipyards, contractors, craftsmen and suppliers across multiple countries, helping guide the yacht's evolution from concept through completion while she continued to operate within the luxury charter market.
