When your yacht is unforgettable… but your website is forgettable

Let’s start with the obvious: Reverie isn’t your average boat. It’s a 165-foot floating hotel with its own cinema, sun deck Jacuzzi, a chef who’s cooked for Nelson Mandela, and more toys than a Bond villain’s garage. If you can name it, it’s onboard — from e-foils to seabobs, a full gym to a drone fleet.

The problem? None of that showed online.

Reverie’s team had a yacht that screamed luxury but a digital presence that whispered… nothing. The site was outdated. The user experience was clunky. And let’s be honest — uploading a PDF brochure and calling it a day doesn’t exactly scream “book me now.”

If you’re chartering a seven-figure yacht, you expect a bit more polish. And a lot more functionality.

“Can you just turn this into a proper site?”

That was the ask.

We were handed a beautifully designed printed brochure, a PDF crew list, and some references to luxury yacht websites that “feel like Zeelander meets Sirena with a bit of flair.” The client knew the value of aesthetics but didn’t have the technical stack or content system in place to bring it all together digitally.

There were no real web-ready assets. No structured content. No destination pages. No CMS setup. And definitely no plan to accommodate things like crew rotation, seasonal changes, or mobile-first browsing (which, by the way, is how most prospects actually discover charter yachts).

Reverie needed a digital experience that matched the yacht experience — intuitive, luxurious, and ready to handle visitors who are used to fast, premium service. They also needed the backend to be usable by their team without diving into code or breaking everything with one wrong image.

This wasn’t just a design gig. It was a full translation project: print-to-pixel, brochure-to-browser, PDF-to-WordPress.

We designed a digital experience that sells the lifestyle

At Studio Ubique, we believe websites should do two things well:

  • Make you look legit.
  • Actually help you sell.

Here’s how we helped Reverie do both:

1. We structured the site for conversion — not just compliments

Most luxury yacht websites are heavy on visuals but light on logic. We flipped that script.

We started with a sitemap that made sense from a user’s perspective — someone looking to charter a yacht, compare amenities, explore destinations, get to know the crew, and ask: “Is this the one?”

Final structure included:

  • Home – Hero section, key features, intro CTA
  • Reverie – Yacht specs, photos, unique details
  • Layout – Floorplans with visual guidance for each deck
  • Toys – Every seabob, e-foil, kayak, and tender accounted for
  • Destinations – Dynamic template with expandable subpages
  • Crew – Profiles rewritten, formatted, and beautifully displayed
  • Press & Blog – Credibility boosters and future SEO content
  • Contact – Conditional forms for brokers, guests, and agencies

Bonus: We made every section easy to navigate and fast to load — so even on yacht WiFi, you can still browse like it’s broadband.

2. We brought brochure-level polish into the browser

The original brochure was gorgeous. But let’s face it: it was made for paper, not pixels. Paragraphs were too long, layout too rigid, and the imagery didn’t breathe on screen.

We rewrote and restructured every section — turning dense text blocks into digestible content that works on desktop and mobile. Headings now guide readers through the experience. Bullet points highlight features without burying them. And the photography? Front and center, always.

From the jacuzzi on the sun deck to the 36’ Yellowfin tender that hits 65 mph, everything is where it should be: visually striking, easy to scan, and logically grouped.

3. We gave the crew the stage they deserve

Let’s be real — the crew can make or break a charter experience. Reverie’s crew is a dream team: Michelin-level chefs, pro water sports instructors, multilingual stewards, and a captain with more sea miles than some commercial pilots have air miles.

We took their bios (which lived in a massive PDF) and gave them a proper home. Each profile is now:

  • Presented with a clean image and name
  • Summarized in bite-sized highlights (no one’s reading 500 words)
  • Organized for quick scanning and mobile view
  • Editable via CMS in case of rotation

The result? Prospective guests actually see the personalities behind the luxury.

4. We powered it all with WordPress + Elementor Pro

Now for the nerdy bit — but an important one.

Reverie’s new site is built on WordPress using Elementor Pro. That means:

  • Easy updates — No coding needed to change destinations, crew, or layout info
  • Mobile-ready layouts — Designed from the ground up for phones and tablets
  • Performance-focused setup — Lazy loading, optimized assets, and clean code
  • Ready for scale — More destinations? More testimonials? More content modules? Easy.

We kept plugins to a minimum, avoided bloated themes, and made sure the backend wouldn’t scare off whoever ends up maintaining the site in six months.

5. We handled content handoff like pros

Throughout the project, we worked with multiple content sources — including:

  • Print brochures
  • Crew PDFs
  • Inspirational sites (like Zeelander, Sirena, and Goolets)
  • Yacht specs in spreadsheet form
  • Notes sent via email and PDF markup

We pulled it all together, cleaned it up, and filled in the gaps where necessary (without inventing fluff). When the project wrapped, Reverie had:

  • A fully launched live site
  • A clear structure for future content
  • Login credentials and CMS access
  • Support documentation for editing
6. We launched with a punch — not a whisper

Once the final designs were approved, we handled implementation, migration, and a pre-launch QA across devices. That included:

  • Mobile testing on iPhone and Android
  • Performance testing with real image files
  • Form testing for all dropdown paths
  • SEO structure (titles, descriptions, URL cleanup)

The site was ready for brokers, clients, media, and agents — not just the design team.

Tech stack rundown

To keep it clear:

  • CMS: WordPress
  • Builder: Elementor Pro
  • Hosting: SSD cloud, HTTPS-secured
  • Contact: WPForms with routing logic
  • Performance: Lazy load, mobile optimization, lightweight theme
  • Integrations: Instagram feed (live), multilingual-ready, RankMath-compatible
Results: now the yacht looks as good online as it does in person

Reverie’s website is no longer an afterthought. It’s a working sales tool.

Visitors land and get the full picture — stunning visuals, compelling text, relevant info, and a quick way to start the booking process. Crew profiles feel personal. Toys are highlighted properly. And the site no longer feels like a stopgap before sending a brochure.

Best of all: The client can easily edit everything without needing us every time a destination changes or a new photo comes in.
