Setting Sail in Style: The Helm Yacht Group Project at Sklar Furnishings

By Sklar Furnishings

January 11, 2024

In collaboration with the Helm Yacht Group, Sklar Furnishings’ Designers Ruth and Alexis embarked on a journey to redefine luxury yacht interiors. They began the journey in March and had the grand reveal at the October boat show. This project involved diligent planning and design expertise.

Client’s Vision and Design Options

The client, the yacht broker, envisioned an interior of this new yacht with a European and elegant flair. The Sklar team presented three distinct design options, with a consensus favoring a beautiful choice with vibrant raspberry color accents.

The project was to furnish a 62 foot yacht. These areas consisted of the salon, galley, dining area, and four staterooms. Brands were carefully chosen for their outdoor furniture, dining area pieces, and chairs. Seeking one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, the team collaborated directly with our vendors to ensure a design that would stand out from the crowd.

Collaborative Endeavor

Beyond aesthetics, the Sklar team was intricately involved in the entire yacht build, advising on flooring and marble types. The goal was to blend elegance with coziness, offering an open-air experience while maintaining the boat’s sophisticated ambiance.

Working closely with this client throughout the project brought collaboration and camaraderie within the Sklar team. Putting in months of dedication and teamwork, the Sklar team was able to bring the designs to life ensuring every detail reflected the elegance of the yacht.

The Maestro Behind the Design

Yacht designer Davide Cipriani, renowned globally for his revolutionary designs, was highly impressed with the final design. The yacht design won the Best Layout of the Year. Davide seamlessly integrated Sklar’s design work, complementing his vision beautifully. Experience luxury on the high seas with Sklar Furnishings.

Our collaborative spirit, attention to detail, and unique touch come together to craft masterpieces like the Helm Yacht Group project. Visit us to discover how we redefine elegance on land and sea.

Had an amazing 7-night trip in Mauritius! Huge thanks to Victoria and the team for making the booking seemless experience Would highly recommend Helm and will be doing another trip with them!

Date of experience : October 22, 2023

Reply from HELM

Hey Garrett, thanks for the review! We're all so happy you had an amazing time in Mauritius - bring on the next trip! :)

I do not recommend booking with Helm…

I do not recommend booking with Helm for a charter. The boat they reserved for us had a dinghy with an inoperable engine (we lost a full day of sailing because it had to be removed by a mechanic, repaired, and then reinstalled 8 hours later). Worse, the bilge clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned. The main cabin smelled like a public toilet after a music festival and the stench of human feces was absorbed by all of our clothing. Everywhere we went, we smelled like human waste. It was nauseating. Peter, one of the scam artists who run this company, refused to do anything meaningful to make this better. We spent over $12,000 to rent a partially inoperable public toilet with no customer service to support us.

Dear Jenna, As expressed to you, we were disappointed that you weren’t happy with your experience with Dream Yacht Charter, after booking a last minute charter on the Saona 47 Catamaran. We are confused as to how you think we as an agent defrauded you, when we booked exactly the boat we confirmed to you, further no complaint was made during your charter, it was only after the charter when you returned that you identified these issues to us. On receipt of these as a company we always responded promptly to you, and tried to negotiate on your behalf with Dream Yacht Charter, who were the principal responsible for your charter. We are sorry you didn’t agree with their offer of compensation, as I’m sure you can understand once the charter is over we are limited with what we can do. We always want our clients to be happy, and we pride ourselves on doing our best for our clients when things do go wrong, we are sorry this is not how you viewed our services. Warm regards, The HELM team

7 Day BVI charter

We just finished up a 7 day charter in the BVI's and could not have had a better time! We started planning this trip about a year ago and Helm charters was so helpful and patient with my many questions along the way. We loved our boat and the crew and highly recommend Helm for boat charters. We hope to plan another adventure with Helm in the future.

Date of experience : January 13, 2024

Thank you for the wonderful review, Lauren! Marcus is so glad he could help you plan your charter, and he looks forward to your next one already!

HELM were great

HELM were great. We dealt with Zach and Victoria who were helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. Next time we will go straight to HELM rather than considering multiple brokers.

Date of experience : September 30, 2023

Hi Al, thank you for the kind review - we are delighted that you found Zach and Victoria to be so helpful, and look forward to planning your future charters!

These guys know what they're doing!

Our yacht trip booked through Victoria was such a smooth ride and a great experience! We booked a one-week chartered yacht through Helm, and they were such a great broker. The concept is brilliant, in stead of contacting lots of different owners to figure out what we wanted to do, Helm had several prepared suggestions, knew where we could easily fly to, and guided us well through any questions that we had along the way. 10/10 recommend!

Date of experience : October 08, 2023

Thanks for the lovely review, Maria! Victoria is delighted you had a wonderful trip :)

Phuket Yacht Charter

Great one week yacht charter out of Phuket Yacht Haven with Island Spirit arranged through Helm.yt. Charter was very well organised and coordinated between Island Spirit and Helm.yt. Phang Nga Bay, Thailand is a great place to sail. Many thanks for all your effort and assistance.

Date of experience : November 18, 2023

Thanks for the brilliant review, Michael! We're delighted we could deliver another great charter for you. Thailand really is special. We look forward to welcoming you back next time!

Saronic Gulf Charter

We contacted Helm to book a one week bare boat catamaran charter out of Athens in mid September. Our experience with Helm and their local agent FyLy in Athens was nothing short of excellent. We were given a superb deal on a brand new Astrea 42 which was the ideal boat for our party of 6 retired sailors. Helm made planning our trip to Greece very easy with full details on the boat, suggested itinerary and booking of transport from the airport to the Marina. Their agent gave us full support at Alimos marina and during our cruise around the Saronic Gulf. We would recommend Helm to anyone considering a bare boat charter in the Mediterranean

Date of experience : September 16, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Chris - it was a pleasure to arrange your Astrea 42 charter and we're delighted you had such an enjoyable time in the Saronic!

Top Service and a quality yacht in beautiful Croatia!

Thank you to Helm for arranging our sailing holiday. In particular, thanks to Zach for the time he took to locate available yachts that suited our training certification and the dates we needed, as it was short notice! We hadn't sailed in Croatia before and had a fabulous time. We had all our queries answered on the lead up to our departure and got accurate information on the marina and contact details there. The yacht we hired was top quality for its age and overall great value for money. Everything was as promised!

Date of experience : September 09, 2023

Thanks for the kind review, Ray! Zach is delighted he was able to help make your charter happen at short notice and deliver exceptional value for you! :)

It was the single greatest experience of my life.

Put it this way, when asked how it went by the team, this is what I sent back: "I kid you not - It was the single greatest experience of my life. I bloody loved it. Send me a link for a public review and consider it done."

Date of experience : December 10, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Ben - Marcus and the team are delighted you had such a wonderful time and we look forward to helping with your next charter!

The whole team at HELM made our holiday…

The whole team at HELM made our holiday experience wonderful, taking away all the stresses and strains from us. Any queries about our holiday plans were quickly addressed. We couldn't ask for more and we look forward to using HELM's services again.

Date of experience : October 13, 2023

Thank you for the review and your very kind words. We're ready for your next charter as soon as you are!

catamaran charter - Greece cyclades

I chartered a catamaran though HELM for a Greek holiday. All arrangements worked as expected and we had a great holiday. All the staff I dealt with at HELM were very courteous and efficient. One point of feedback is there was little or no continuity as people left the business so a couple of things fell through the gaps, but were recovered without issue. I would use HELM again - thankyou!

Date of experience : September 23, 2023

Hi Ed, thank you for the kind words and nice review. We are reviewing our continuity processes to help make things as smooth as possible in future!

Thank you Jack & thank you Helm!

Jack from Helm helped us find a boat & plan a trip with just 2 weeks till we departed! When I initially called and told him mid-august (it was end of july) he thought I was talking about the following year. No issue - Jack found us a beautiful 45 foot cat and we got paired with a wonderful skipper. Couldn't have been a better week in the adriatic. 10/10 would recommend.

Date of experience : August 13, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Hunter! Jack was delighted to find you such a good last-minute deal in Croatia and is excited to finalise your upcoming Caribbean trip.

The Perfect Trip

We had a trip of a lifetime on the Sinata Sunreef. Martin, Nicola & Hana were outstanding and made the experience unforgettable with amazing food, service and meaningful conversations. We went the first week of October and the weather was perfect. I wish I could offer some constructive feedback but the trip was perfect. HELM was informative and helped steer us to the best boat for our group. Victoria from HELM was very helpful coordinating logistics before our trip which helped relieve a lot of stress. Highly recommend HELM and the Sinata.

Date of experience : October 01, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Cody. Victoria and the team are delighted you had such a good charter aboard Sinata, and we all look forward to arranging your next one!

New to chartering - great experience

As someone new to chartering, Toby was patient and extremely helpful. I didn’t have a huge budget, but was always made to feel supported throughout the process. He helped me decide where to sail with itinerary information, and helped advise me on a million other questions I had. Our charter in Greece was the highlight of our trip, made extra special by the information and responsiveness of Victoria on restaurants and places to go that would fit with our itinerary. We will absolutely use HELM again, and have already started planning our next trip. I’ve also recommended them to quite a few other people. Thank you to Toby, Victoria and the rest of the team!

Date of experience : August 26, 2023

Hi Christian, Thanks for the very kind review! Toby says it was an absolute pleasure arranging your charter, and he is excited to help finalise your plans for the next one. Thank you also for the recommendations - it means a lot to us as a growing business!

Wife's 40th Birthday BVI Experience

Helm and Libby found us the best Cats and Crew in the BVIs! It's really the details that separate the good from great inside of an experience. I was impressed with the ability to curate a very unique voyage with a ton of special requests. I was genuinely impressed every single day!

Date of experience : October 20, 2023

Thanks so much for the kind review, James! We are all so delighted that your wife had a great surprise birthday, and Libby says it was her absolute pleasure to help arrange your charter.

Just finished with Vas and Kelly

Just finished with Vas and Kelly. They were amazing, so caring , so attentive to us and the boat, cannot recommend them highly enough, incredible people, I am sure all the feedback is always positive. They were perfect, thank you John for your recommendation, communication and advice. Troy, Amanda, Rose, Henry.

Hi Troy, thanks so much for the review, John is delighted you had a great charter with Vas and Kelly!

Aeolian Islands Family Day-HELM Sicily

I booked a day charter from Capo d'Orlando, Sicily to the Aeolian Islands. We swam around Lipari and Vulcano. If we had enough energy we could have zoomed off to Salina also. The crew of Aerre Sicily Charter, Captain Carlo and his Skipper Angelo were kind, social, and great hosts. We had fruit to snack on and for lunch we had enough food to feed at least 15 people, we were a party of 7. They could accommodate other requests with advanced notice. We probably used about 1/3rd of the vessel's gas, easy fill up with American Express. I would definitely book this charter again.

Date of experience : September 10, 2023

Hi Nicholas, thank you for the very kind review! We're so glad you had a lovely day charter and look forward to arranging your next trip!

Libby at the Helm was professional

Libby at the Helm was professional, attentive, and responsive. She made the experience of chartering a boat for the Greek islands seamless. From start to finish, she answered all questions and concerns and guided us on an AMAZING trip—the Valium 62 with Captain Stefano and his crew. Yianni and David super exceeded our expectations. Don’t hesitate to book a trip with HELM & Libby!

Date of experience : June 22, 2023

Thanks Georgia, we really appreciate the 5-star review :). Libby is delighted you had a great time on Valium 62, and is ready to help plan your next trip whenever you are!

Croatian Boat Charters

We would recommend Helm for organising your next boat charter. They booked us into an excellent charter company & maintained contact with us all the way through the process from booking to charter. I was very impressed with the service & they were highly responsive to my queries.

Date of experience : August 05, 2023

Thanks for the great review, Brad. It was a pleasure to arrange your charter and we look forward to helping plan the next one!

Poorly managed catamaran charter

We recently chartered a ‘Lagoon 52F catamaran with skipper’ to sail the Dalmatian coastline that was brokered by HELM (UK) with Adriatic Sailing (Split). As we planned to sail from Dubrovnik to Split, we paid a ‘one-way charter fee (€780)’, to cover the fuel used and crew needed to relocate the catamaran to Dubrovnik to be ready to sail no later than 5pm on Saturday (or earlier pending approval from the skipper). We understood that if they (Adriatic Sailing) were able to secure a charter from Split to Dubrovnik in the preceding week (typically 7 days) then as the catamaran would already be in Dubrovnik on Saturday, the ‘one-way charter fee’ would be simply refundable. In this scenario the mooring fee would be payable by the previous charter as it arrived on Friday and had to stay overnight at the marina. This all seemed logical and reasonable. Prior to the start of the charter, we reviewed the contract (welcome package, Wi-Fi (75 GB/week), dinghy, outboard engine with full fuel tank, bed sheets & towels, beach towels, snorkelling gear, coffee machine + 10 capsules, ice maker, cooking gas and final cleaning) with HELM. Great idea. This review identified that two (2) requested stand up paddle boards (SUP) had been omitted and that ‘snorkelling gear’ actually meant that only two (2) sets would be available, despite the fact that the catamaran was licensed to hold 12 passengers. We incurred an additional rental charge of €60 for eight (8) sets of snorkelling gear and at our request we also rented a BBQ for €90. These additional monies would be paid on departure from the Dubrovnik marina at the Adriatic Sailing office. When we all arrived at the marina after lunch on Saturday, we were advised there had been a delay in cleaning of the catamaran (i.e. last in the que) and that it wouldn’t be ready until just before 5pm. When we eventually got onto the catamaran a number of problems, some big, some small, appeared: 1. all the dirty linen/water toys (kayak, extra SUP, extra snorkelling gear) from the previous charter had been NOT been relocated to the Adriatic Sailing office BUT placed in and blocked the skipper’s toilet cabin WITHOUT our approval. As a consequence, my wife and I had to share our cabin’s toilet facilities with the skipper for the duration of the charter 2. Adriatic Sailing informed us that we had to pay €170 for rental of the kayak, despite the fact we hadn’t ordered it and that it was left on the catamaran from the previous charter 3. marina required us to pay the outstanding mooring fee (€208), when clearly this was part of the previous charter as it had moored overnight on Friday 4. catamaran was NOT checked properly by Adriatic Sailing for our charter as: • main shelf in the kitchen fridge door was cracked and was held together with masking tape. Needless to say, it broke as soon as we left the marina • there was a periodic but strong sewage smell in the cabins which was discussed with the skipper. It appeared shortly after leaving Dubrovnik and then returned frequently during the charter • Wifi went down (day 2/3) as this hadn’t been topped up from the previous charter despite the contract stating we had access to 75GBq/week • kitchen stove ran-out of gas as the gas cylinder had not been refilled after the previous charter. We had to resort to boiling water on the BBQ which the used up all the gas. So neither the kitchen stove or BBQ worked • shower fitting in one cabin was broken which had to be taped together so it would work. We recognise that problems will occur. However, the majority of the problems detailed above should have been identified before our charter began. We discussed these problems with the skipper and then with HELM many times after the charter had finished. HELM’s negotiation with Adriatic Sailing was NOT very helpful or particularly successful. Eventually, Adriatic Sailing provided refund for the mooring fee (€208), kayak hire (€170) and €100 reimbursement for transporting the dirty linen back to Split. They refused to provide any compensation for the inconvenience caused by not preparing the catamaran properly for our charter; the skipper having to use one of the passenger’s cabin toilets/shower facilities for the duration of the charter, or a refund the ‘one way charter fee’ of €780 (despite the fact that this service was NEVER supplied). Looking back on our experience with Adriatic Sailing and Helm I would be very hesitant to ever use or recommend them. Adriatic Sailing seem quite happy to put their commercial interest first and to charge for services that were NOT provided or asked for (e.g. ‘one way charter fee’, kayak, mooring fee etc). I am sure there are other more reputable charter companies whom International tourists should use when visiting the Dalmatian coastline.

Hi Peter, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are naturally disappointed that you feel that you didn’t have a wholly positive experience, and hope you were still able to enjoy the Dalmatian Coast. As discussed with you, you booked a charter with a one-way add-on. You collected the yacht in Dubrovnik and disembarked in Split, and the one-way charter was supplied. Adriatic Sailing are a fleet operator we work with regularly, and they have a track record of delivering excellent charters. We are sorry that you feel this wasn’t the case in your experience. We always want our clients to be happy, and we pride ourselves on doing our best for our clients when things do go wrong, we are sorry this is not how you viewed our services. We apologise for the mistakes we made regarding the marina fees communication and missing the note on the kayak, but we were honest in admitting fault and reimbursing you. We were also able to secure you €100 compensation for the gas and linen issues. Once again, we apologise that your charter didn’t live up to your expectations, and we hope to be able to deliver a better experience on your next trip. Warm regards, The HELM team
