6 ways to display flowers on your yacht

Flowers for the saloon & lobby: theming your yacht.

Interior designer and superyacht owner Lady Tina Green reveals the secrets behind the stunning floral displays she has perfected for superyachts – thanks to spending more than half her life at sea.

Ever since I was a child living in Japan and my mother taught me ikebana (Japanese flower arranging), flowers have been a passion of mine. We are a very flowery family: I have arranged them all my life, as have my kids; my parents loved them, my house is always full of them, and I believe that no table or room on board a superyacht is complete without them.

There is no excuse for omitting flowers from your life or your boat; it is not about money – one flower or a potted plant is often enough – it is about time and effort. I find them immensely calming and they always give a room a feeling of freshness and homeliness. Usually, I start with white and build upwards. Here are my suggestions for a few ways of introducing flowers on board.

Flowers for the saloon & lobby: Theming your yach t

It is really important to hold your floral theme across the whole yacht, otherwise it will feel schizophrenic. For  Lionheart  we had a white theme and we focused on different heights to keep the eye busy and add a sense of drama. The look is a modern one that accentuates the height of our ceilings, because I wanted to make a statement when yacht guests entered; the flowers are the same in every room, but we arranged them slightly differently, so as to avoid being too “matchy matchy”. I prefer to keep to one colour and mix shades so as to not have too much going on.

Flowers for a big yacht lunch: Hanging garden

This arrangement was done last year for a yacht lunch party of about 100 during the  Monaco Grand Prix , when we always host friends onboard our superyacht  Lionheart  for about six days in a row. We went for a mélange of phalaenopsis (pale and dark pink orchids), lilac and pink hyacinths, hydrangeas in pale lilac, pale pink antique roses, long hanging dendrobium and a few freesias.

Hanging gardens are a great way of making your yacht stand out, and making the most of the space. It took us a long time to perfect the art of camouflaging the chicken wire (using little hooks discreetly hidden in the ceiling) and timings are crucial: there is no water in a hanging garden, obviously, and so they have to be done overnight.

All my flowers are done by Michelle, who has been with us for 14 years. The first table she arranged for me was full of oranges and pinks and was very overdone. I said: “Take it away, I think I am going to be sick.” She thought I was an ogre! But she quickly learned my style and is still with us after all these years! We spend a lot of time and have a lot of fun, planning down to the last detail.

Michelle is available for onboard crew training and floral arrangements: [email protected]

Flowers for the yacht bathrooms & bedrooms: Intimate details

I always match the flowers in the yacht's bedroom and the bathroom as I like symmetry; they don’t have to be set in the same way, but the colours and the theme will always match so there is a feeling of cohesion. For this set, we used tuberoses, calla lilies and thai orchids, and made sure there were plenty of candles.

I change the flowers in the bedrooms and bathrooms once a week and if we go on a big trip and I know it will be hard to source flowers locally, I tend to use potted flowers and plants, and then gather any local flora and fauna, shells, leaves etc.

Very occasionally I will use fake flowers, but you have to be careful or they can look naff. Generally, when it comes to fake ones, less is more.

Flowers for yacht bars and centrepieces: Keeping it simple

This was a simple arrangement of bar flowers we did to match a lunchtime yacht event. We worked with green hydrangeas, white and peach roses and peach amaryllises in tall vases, and upstairs sprinkled flower petals in and around the Champagne bucket, spa pool and bar areas to add pretty sprays of colour.

Flowers for evenings on your superyacht: How to use light

I love using different types of lighting with flowers as it can completely change the look. For this arrangement we used those little plastic LED ice cubes that you can get in any good party or hardware shop, and you hit them to light them up.

We hid them inside white hydrangeas, which we mixed with younger, greener hydrangeas and thai orchids again; you can also get them in different colours if you want to add red or purple or anything else a bit splashier. I like to build up the tables using different layers, and used mirrored trays here to create a step effect and mix things up a little.

Flowers for superyacht dinners: Formal flowers

This arrangement was for a superyacht dinner we did for about 18 people, which we themed red and black for more of a formal mood. We based it on the Grand Prix red rose, which we sourced from a local market, and adorned each ball with beautiful silver wire we found in a local hardware shop, inserting a fake pearl into each rose head to give it a twist. We had numerous candles, of course, which are as important as flowers; the whole room smelt amazing.

Best Flowers for Yachts: Luxury Custom-Made Floral Arrangements

STILLA is yachting's leading provider of real flower arrangements that last a year.

Thanks to our expertise and our experience in the industry, we are able to complete complex projects on some of the world’s largest Superyachts every year.

With a base in the South of France, we accommodate flower needs for yachts in the Mediterranean, and Caribbean regions.

Swapping from fresh flowers to eternal flowers is a smart move for yacht owners who want to save time, money, and reduce their environmental impact while still enjoying the beauty and elegance of flowers on their yacht.

- Loreta Cazacu, Co-Founder

Why are Our Flowers the Best Option for Yachts?

Long-lasting & economical.

Thanks to the preservation process they undergo, eternal flowers will take the yacht through 2 seasons without compromise to their aesthetic.

They are a fantastic solution for charter yachts that often get last minute bookings, meaning no more sourcing florists in remote or unknown regions – flower quality is guaranteed with STILLA.

Our preserved arrangements have excellent value thanks to their long-life span, resulting in a 60% reduction of yearly interior decoration budgets, as Pursers/Chief stews only require one order per year.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly

Embracing sustainability, our flowers are not only exquisite but also kind to our planet. Compared to the astonishing 48 minimum deliveries that are needed to keep a fresh floral decoration onboard, STILLA's once a year purchase reduces carbon dioxide emissions, waste production, and energy consumption.

Maintenance Free Flowers

Save your crew's time, so that they can focus on what they do best. Our bio-preserved flower arrangements require no trimming, water, or sunlight.

Customized to Your Decor

Tailoring to the unique aesthetics of each yacht, STILLA offers bespoke arrangements that reflect your personal taste and the luxurious ambiance of your vessel.

Some Boats that Chose STILLA

STILLA's impeccable service, cost-efficiency, and quality impressed us. The sustainable arrangements garnered praise from our guests, leading us to extend to our Private Residences. Highly recommended.

Interior Manager

The excellent aftercare provided for our charter vessel has been a game-changer. The sustainable floral solution exceeded my vision. Thank you for bringing my inspiration to life flawlessly.

Chief Stewardess

Your ability to surpass the previous year's beauty is remarkable. For a 35m yacht, the challenge of maintaining luxurious fresh flowers is well solved by eternal flowers, greatly simplifying my onboard responsibilities.

Flourish Floral Design

Floristry, table design, botanicals & horticulture .

Flourish is a bespoke floral design studio brimming with floral expertise. From beautiful hand tied bouquets to yacht table arrangements or en trend modern house plants and botanicals. We stand between the balance of old fashioned customer service values and rustic, modern design. 

Flourish has the expertise in designing and arranging floral displays specifically tailored for yachts. This requires a specialized understanding of the unique challenges and considerations that come with working in a maritime environment.

We have an understanding of the layout and interior design of each yacht we work with. This knowledge is crucial for creating floral arrangements that seamlessly integrate with the yacht's existing decor and layout.  

Given the unique conditions on a yacht (such as potential exposure to saltwater, limited space, and controlled temperature and humidity), the studio would carefully choose flowers and foliage that are not only visually appealing but also capable of withstanding these unique conditions.

Given the dynamic nature of the schedule yachts participate in, Flourish Design Studio is flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances, such as weather conditions or alterations to the departure date and time.

We specializes in creating memorable and visually captivating floral displays for yachts in the South Florida area, combining our expertise in floral design with a deep understanding of the specific needs and challenges of working in a maritime setting.

We can't wait to create for you!

Quality design work

We focus on quality and timing. Our flowers come from the best suppliers South Florida can offer, always selecting the freshest blooms. Every element of the arrangement is considered with precision. This includes the choice of colors, textures, and sizes of flowers, as well as the overall composition of the arrangement. This meticulous approach results in a polished and visually striking final product.The studio takes steps to prolong the life of the arrangements, such as using techniques to keep the flowers hydrated and fresh for the duration of your trip.

We work with the most sustainable floral supplies available and we are striving to work with local growers in our community as much as possible

South Florida is not a place flowers grow easily, the environment is humid and wet which leads to root issues with many non tropical plants.  However, there are a few flower farms that exist here locally and we do our best to source whats available and in season. Flower sustainability is something the industry is working towards and each and every one of us florists play a role in making that a better reality for the entire industry.

Jill Manson

Floral communication expert, celebrity florist, motivational speaker and teacher , Jill Manson, started her career in advertising. Her longing to do something more meaningful for the souls of others (and her own) led her on a powerful journey “from Marketing to Michaelmas daisies”

Jill started her journey shortly after she was inspired through an engaging spiritual interlude with a little wildflower in the Natal Midlands. Jill received a calling on her life in this powerful commune to use nature and flowers to help people communicate their feelings better to one another and themselves.

It was from here that and went on to create the unique Botanical Wellbeing and Communication concept she calls FLOWERSCAPE.

Her story of this transition and of her own growth and healing whilst developing this concept called has made her a sought-after motivational speaker. Jill presents her story and a range of these unique flower communication and flower healing workshops at conferences, on roadshows in corporate companies and in social gatherings in South Africa where she was born and around the world.

Jill studied the art of floral styling in the UK whilst developing the FLOWERSCAPE concept and came home to SA in 2004 to spend time growing her business here. In this time, she also opened Electric Butterfly Flowers , her first flower shop.

In 2009 Jill left the flower shop to pursue her dream of teaching floral design and now also owns and runs the Jill Manson Floral Design School inspiring people to take big leaps of faith and grow their own creativity through the healing medium of flowers and creative design. The school is the leading school of floral design in SA and teaches all levels of floristry to enthusiasts and career driven entrepreneurs wishing to make a living from the trade.

Jill has created floral designs and floral décor for hundreds of prestigious weddings and events. 2019 saw the launch of the Johannesburg International Flower Show.

My experience of this course was one I’ll never forget. Chanel's attention to detail on everything helped me through this course! Everything was explained in such a way that I’ll never forget! You were an amazing instructor and so patient with us all. I hope to one day work on a boat with as chief stew like you.

- Kelsey Hunter

Amazing course, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to start their yachting career as a stewardess! Chanel presented a high-energy course that provided detailed insider information on the yachting industry and many helpful tips for daily stewardess work. Chanel's experience in the yachting industry is invaluable to students and as a 'green yachtie' I felt very lucky to have her as my mentor.

- Megan Nepgen

I completed this Stewardess Course in August 2021 and it was personally one of my favourites. Not only because the course itself was so fun and interesting, but the whole structure that was put together by Chanel Marais herself, was just so educating and helpful overall. I believe and trust that all the techniques and tips that Chanel handed over to us throughout the entire Stewardess course will always benefit our yachting Careers, throughout. I never knew I could learn so many new useful skills, theoretically and practically, in only 5 days.

- Jessica Badenhorst

I am amazed at how much theoretical and practical knowledge we managed to fit into one week. The course provides a hands-on experience and the course material that you’ll get access to is extensive and thorough. The resources that were provided to plan and execute the service day were beyond what I expected. I enjoyed doing the flower arrangements as I’ve never done anything like it before.

Chanel is an excellent instructor with years of experience, she had tips and tricks for just about anything. She was also willing to provide feedback on our CVs and she put us in contact with possible work opportunities. The course delivers well beyond what is promised.

I can say without a doubt that the course is a must for any aspiring yachty out there.

- Meslissa Lauwrens

Chanel is a hard working woman, specializing in the Yachting industry, with years of experience and detailed tips catering to everyone’s special field of interest. The knowledge, tips and dedication given to me has improved my basic knowledge of the Maritime industry.

The vast services VYA provides, as well as the broad knowledge given to me, has helped me put everything into action. To anyone who is interested in the Yachting industry, I would highly recommend VYA.

- Adriaan Hudson

It is with much enthusiasm that I am writing to recommend this life changing course. This experience has been a lifechanging experience that I am proud to have been part of. As a 17 year old the course has not only shown me that there is more to “the yacht life”. It has taught me that there is more to me than I ever knew.

I have not only found my confidence and grown as an independent person, but I found people that I now call family. This course has given me a glimpse of my future and how bright my future will be. If you are looking for an adventure, amazing atmosphere and the time off your life- this is the course for you.

- Jenna Nieuwoud

You are one of the most kindest, selfless souls that I have come accross and I have no doubt that I will succeed. I have a clear vision of the steps I need to take, for the route I want to go down and that is thanks to your guidance. You have also been a huge help in condensing my CV and cover letter and I've already had 3 offers for interviews , which is astounding, given the current market and the fact that I am green !

You're so approachable and I know that I can turn to you for guidance, should I need it. People like you are are what cemented my decision to join this industry, so willing to share your wealth of knowledge and offer support. Thank you for being you and for all of your amazing work, helping so many others like me.

- Charlie Griffin

Chanel is one of those rare leaders who is big picture vision driven but also extremely detail orientated. She has an incredible bank of knowledge on all aspects of yachting from housekeeping to service, as well as special events organisation and handy tricks of the trade. I always felt lucky to be working with and learning from her while she was my Chief Stewardess.

She has also helped me with my own confidence, investing in my progress and being one of my biggest cheerleaders from the first day we started working together. My experience with her as my Chief Stewardess and Mentor will always be a highlight of my yachting career.

- Margaret Ketteringham

Working with Chanel over the five-day period not only provided me with greater insight into the inner workings of what it means to be a stewardess on board a vessel, but she also instilled a motivation within me, to get started within the industry as soon as possible. The course work was informative and valuable, covering all work with great detail.

Significant time for practical work was set aside and gave me and the other learners an opportunity to put what we had studied over the five days to the test. Overall both Chanel’s professionalism and enthusiasm was unfaltering throughout, I could not have asked for more with regards to the content covered or the lecturer.

- Kyla Cranfield

To anyone who consider it to become a stewardess and want to attend a stewardess course, I would highly recommend VYA. You will learn a lot in this 5 day course. From how to make a bed perfectly and laundry, all the way through to making cocktails, guest silver service etc. You will build up a lot of knowledge about planning events, setting tables and general knowledge about the superyacht industry.

I enjoyed the course from the start to the end and definitely walked away with much more knowledge about this industry than with what I came with. Chanel is very professional, excellent in her job, very helpful and 100% determined to her students and job. The support system that Chanel offers from the day your course start till the end of your yachting career is something out of this world. She is always willing to help out.

It was a pleasure to meet Chanel and to had the opportunity to learn from her.

- Wilke van Zyl

I would recommend this Academy for any person that wants to make a career in the yacht industry. Chanel Marais was the presenter of The 5 day Stewardess course. Chanel is a good teacher with years of yachting experience. She taught us about laundry operations, housekeeping, synchronised silver services, mixology and wine appreciation.

Chanel gave each student the opportunity to portray their creativity in each section, to build confidence and to thrive to their fullest. I enjoyed the mixology and folding of the towels the most. I have learned that teamwork and time are the most important factors in the yacht industry.

- Jo-Mari Van Zyl

The best investment you will ever make is investing in your knowledge, despite the uncertainty of being in my mid-forties in starting my Yachting career, I knew I needed a Company to inspire me on the start of becoming a Successful Stewardess. I found that and so much more with Chanel Marais at Superyacht Training Academy. Chanel doesn’t just do a stewardess course; she gives you calm advice that will stand with me in years to come. Her understanding about the industry is incredible. The course addresses the logistical hurdles of getting started and gives you practical insight into exactly what you should expect. Super informative, very helpful. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone getting started. I liked the mindset and culture, for me all essential components taught made me realise that this was more than a course. I invested my time, gained knowledge, and knew I was going to gain experience with confidence from a company that had invested in me for the best journey of a lifetime

- Claire Figuiera

I did my stewardess course in May 2023. It was by far the best investment I have ever made. Chanel is beyond exceptional in her way of teaching us and giving us tips from her experience she had in the industry. She is such a lovely person to work with. Having done this course just gave me more confidence as to know what is expected of me and what I will be doing as a Stewardess. This course really just gives you what you need to know. This whole experience I had in this entire week would have not been able if it wasn’t for Chanel being such a great instructor and knowing that I have her on my side and supporting me for my future just makes this entire journey all worth it!

Thank you for the lovely experience and time we’ve had with you Chanel. You really are one of the great ones!

- Mia Fourie

From the day I met Chanel I knew that she loves and breaths Yachting, I could see her passion as well as enthusiasm to help people succeed in the industry of yachting. She not only conveys a professional class but she is a professional in the trade and her knowledge in the field is phenomenal. I would not have been assisted and trained by anyone as good as Chanel, before signing up for the big career change I am embarking on, Chanels name went out before her and I have been told to contact her and to have Chanel give me my yachting training and that she is the best in the field.

This has happend to be my experience all together. I learned so many skill, Chanel’s presentation was packed with valuable information and tips. She caries out her presentations effortless and flawless and makes it very interactive and practically hands on. This information is very impactful and can only beter prepare you for the industry.

I am so very thankful for all the skill and knowledge I have gained by being in her class and presence. I am so thankful for her assistance and guidance with my cv and how to land a first job. I would recommend anyone to join her classes and to get the needed assistance in the yachting industry such as CV’s, Visas and training.

Thank you so very much Chanel.

Yacht Flowers Designs, Going Places in a New Niche

The flower business isn’t always smooth sailing.

“When the market crashed, I looked for extra revenue to help my situation,” says retail florist Eileen Cheng AIFD. She charted a new course by selling flowers to a different niche of the market.

Decorating yachts with fresh flowers and plants brought in a wave of new clients. Soon her business was ‘going places’ again.

Why yacht flowers?

“Yachts are floating mansions and mansions have flowers,” explains designer Janet Black AIFD. There were lots of yachts (with potential clients) anchored nearby.

 “Floral décor for yachting is very unique and specific,” says Eileen.

Catering to a lifestyle Eileen had not personally experienced required quickly learning how to navigate new waters.

How did Eileen turn the tides of her floral business?

What can you learn from her experience?

Yacht Flowers

In 2010, Eileen created Yacht Flowers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to get her floral business back on track. Daughter Delia Chen AIFD works alongside her at the helm.

“We never know where our clients go but when they come to us we have a lot of fun creating their designs,” says Eileen. “It's always last minute which is a challenge.”

Selling floral elements to floating-mansions-on-the-ocean may be challenging, but as Eileen learned it can propel a seaside business.

A learning curve

Each yacht offers a new learning curve. “I have to learn where the flowers will be placed, and what the temperature and humidity will be, yacht movement, and the duration of the trip,” explains Eileen.

Each owner has personal preferences in style and color. Delivering décor that ‘floats their boat’ requires a lot of customization.

“Our clients are the yacht owners, but we work with their special assistants,” Eileen explains.

Establishing good working relationships with staff creates a high rate of repeat customers for Yacht Flowers .

“Word of mouth is our best marketing tool,” says Eileen.

The yachts are all highly secured. The Yacht Flowers staff doesn’t go on deck, they just hand the flowers over to assistants. “Even so, I carry 1.2 million dollars in liability insurance,” Eileen confides.

Snowbirds in the water

“The yacht flower business is seasonal – typically October to May.  “Many yacht owners are Snowbirds-in-the-water and here for the warm weather,” suggests Eileen.

Some yachts return every year for the season. Their flower needs vary – once a week, every two weeks, or every six weeks, depending on the client’s preference.

Other yachts arrive for special events. Clients are very secretive so the staff seldom knows what event they are designing for.

“Similar to weddings and funerals there is no room for mistakes,” Eileen confides. “I have learned of our customer needs. I have educated myself on providing better service and unique designs that meet those needs.” 

Stability is a challenge

Arrangements require stability to be anchored in place during travel. “That means most of time they must be low and have a heavy base,” explains Eileen.

 “As time went by, I quickly learned to mostly use green floral foam to ensure stability for the arrangements.”

Eileen found that floral foam holds water well and the flowers are more stable while yachts are in motion.

“I looked at each of the different Oasis floral foams and decided to try them all,” she says. “After a few tries, I settled on Midnight MaxLife (black) foam . The color and texture are very suitable for tropical arrangements.”

“Midnight holds water well but doesn't have punch holes so I prepare (soak in water) the foam at least an hour before,” she adds.

She suggests that for some designs with hollow-stemmed flowers, the lighter-density Maxlife Springtime foam is a good choice.

Flowers must be long-lasting

Flowers are an important decorative element for yachting.

Choosing flowers that last longer than requested is a must. It’s not unusual for the client to decide to lengthen their stay (say from five days to ten) and the flowers are expected to remain fresh for the duration of the trip.

Orchids, anthurium, roses, heliconia, oriental lilies, and green trick dianthus are a few of the Yacht Flowers’ favorites due to their long-lasting qualities.

 “To insure long-lasting designs, you must feed the flowers,” says Eileen.

“I use flower food from the moment flowers arrive to the shop. It is very important part of our design,” says Eileen. “Then water, with flower food, is added as a finishing touch once flowers are arranged and before they are delivered. It's a must.”

Some yachts also require plants. Requests for phalaenopsis bonsai, succulents, and other indoor plants are quite common.

Learn the ropes

If you live near the water, designing yacht flowers may sound like a dream job. Eileen suggests that for it to work like a dream - you must first ‘learn the ropes’.

“First, understand what yachting is all about,” advises Eileen.

Be patient. The floral staff has learned that wealthy people don’t plan their lives in advance, they just go with the flow, day by day. As a group, they’re constantly making last minute plans or changing their plans. They cancel orders a lot.

Be prepared. “You never know what will happen next with mansions-on-the-water,” says Eileen. “Never having time to plan can sometimes be difficult and challenging.”

Organize a seasonal team. Yacht Flowers needs up to seven employees to keep the pace during the yachting season. “Out of season – nobody,” laughs Eileen, though she does have local talent she can call in, if needed.

Sailing along

“I used to have two stores. I sold the old one in 2018 to do yachting only. I love my job.” says the floral skipper.

The goal is to eventually pass the business on to her daughter, Delia. “She’s younger and can handle the stress!” Eileen adds with a laugh.

What overlooked, but profitable flower niche can you explore in your area?

What unique opportunities have you discovered that you can share with us?

Sharon, Yacht Flowers—what a unique specialty!

I still remember seeing a vase of fresh flowers on a table of a yacht docked at Put-in-Bay, OH, Lake Erie, years ago when there for a day with family. How classy!

Isn’t it interesting, Gloria Markuten, how memorable fresh flowers are!

Great idea surprised that roses are featured though and maybe expected to last 10 days Elsie Carter Ayr BraeFlowers

Thanks for your comment, Elsie Carter. I asked Eileen Cheng AIFD about the longevity of her roses. She said that if you buy from a quality source and use proper flower foods she finds that some roses will remain fresh for 10 days and longer. “I order my roses in advance to be shipped directly from Columbia or Ecuador to Miami,” continues Eileen. “They are very fresh and I take great care with them. White Mondial is one of my favorite roses. It is very hardy. When fresh this rose can last for up to two weeks.”
