We collaborate with SHISHI in yachting projects, bringing their creative eye and strength in decorative styling on board. From lifelike faux plants and trees to seasonal décor, festive table settings and decorative accessories, we help select and style pieces that suit each yacht’s character. We also work with project teams to plan built-in planting and display solutions, considering placement, secure installation and everyday care from the start. It’s a partnership that brings imagination and practical knowledge together, adding warmth, personality and touch of nature to life at sea.

Director of Interior Operations
ASM Yachts

“I had the privilege of working with Meeli during the new build, setup, and start-up process for a large Project at Lürssen. As someone new to the yachting industry, having Meeli’s wealth of knowledge and experience was invaluable. Her input, planning, coordination, and guidance were crucial to the project’s success. She is exceptionally driven and passionate, and her clear, thorough communication allowed us to navigate and overcome every obstacle along the way. I learned an incredible amount from her. Meeli’s professionalism and warm demeanor made our time in the shipyard both productive and truly enjoyable. Proudly delivering the yacht to its owner was a direct result of our close-knit teamwork and hard work, and I couldn’t have asked for a better colleague.”

Captain at Large Yachts

“Meeli’s experience was clear from the start of our time together on a build of large private yacht at Lürssen. She understood what it took to prepare a 140+ meter yacht for service and carried that knowledge into an exceptionally complex and demanding operation. She could see how decisions within the interior affected the yacht as whole.
We went through a great deal together. Meeli took responsibility, maintained high standards under pressure and never lost sight of the people she was leading. In difficult moments, I knew I could count on her to speak honestly and help find a way forward. That kind of support matters deeply at sea.
We developed genuine trust and camaraderie, and I would gladly work with Meeli again.”

“I am truly grateful for the invaluable contribution to the success of M/Y AHPO. Her outstanding professionalism, combined with extensive experience in the superyacht industry, played an important role in bringing this exceptional project to life!”

Founder & CEO
HAHN DESIGN PARTNERS

“Having worked with Meeli on several large yacht projects, I have seen first-hand the value she brings.

She understands the owner’s vision, the client brief and the operational realities of life on board like few others. Meeli has a remarkable ability to anticipate challenges, connect the different parties involved and ensure that important details are not lost between the owner, designers, shipyard, suppliers and crew.

Her approach is highly collaborative, practical and always focused on finding solutions. She is also relentless in following matters through and ensuring that the final outcome works not only aesthetically, but operationally, for the owner and for the crew who will ultimately use and manage the yacht.

This is precisely what makes Holistic Yacht Interiors so valuable: bridging the gap between design, construction and real life on board. Our industry needs more professionals like Meeli, who genuinely understand the complexities of a yacht project and know how to address them with clarity, determination and care.

She brings calm and structure to even the most complex situations, while always keeping the owner’s objectives at the center of every decision. I would recommend Meeli and Holistic without hesitation to anyone seeking an experienced, committed and trusted partner for a yacht project.”

Interior Recruitment team Leader
YPI

“I work at YPI Crew as a recruitment consultant for the Interior, one of my specialist areas is helping Green, or as we prefer ‘the next generation’ of stews into the industry, making sure that they are educated in all aspects of securing the first opportunity in yachting. During lockdown, when the junior stews were unable to get interviews, network or travel, Meeli volunteered her time and experience by creating a series of videos for the stews, describing life onboard, her invaluable tips and tricks on Service and Housekeeping, as well as giving many of them their first opportunity to ‘meet’ a senior crew member and see who they are -as a person and give them insight into what a great community we have! Makes it a less scary, unknown place!!

Meeli has also recently offered her time telling me her yachting story and career highlights, and what advice she would give to herself when she entered the industry for me to share and inspire our next generation. To give back so much to help, is an incredible thing to do!”

Director
GLANCY FAWCETT

“I have had the great pleasure of working with Meeli for many years now across multiple vessels. Her knowledge, expertise and attention to detail firmly cement her as a tremendous asset to any yacht, crew and owner. Meeli’s passion for the industry is evident in the way she works with everyone around her and simultaneously manages a yacht to an exceptional level and keeps everyone around her smiling. As someone who works with many crew members and owners, it’s clear to see the relationship and value Meeli adds to any project. I personally feel very fortunate and privileged to have had the opportunity to work together and always look forward to hearing from Meeli for the next project.”

Founder & Designer

“Meeli is a very exceptional individual. Her calm professional approach brings a warm and comfortable mood into every situation. Working with her on Areti and Enzo was a real pleasure as it should be. She brings technical understanding as well as hands-on support and first-class social competences. It is purely refreshing and uplifting to work with her. I wish I would meet more women like Meeli in our business”.

Founder
SEA EMPORIUM

“I have had the pleasure of working with Meeli for the past 15 years, during which she has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, dedication, and integrity. She gives 100% to every project she undertakes and approaches her work with enthusiasm and care. Combined with her warm and engaging personality, these qualities make her an outstanding colleague and an absolute pleasure to work with”

Owner
LIGHTHOUSE CAREERS

“I have known Meeli for many years, as a client when she was looking for crew, as well as a candidate when she was looking for work, and she always left a great impression. Meeli is mature, professional, kind and very good at communicating. I have placed her on a yacht, and I placed many crew on yachts she worked on in the past and I have always had very good feedback. I look forward to working with Meeli for many more years.”

Captain
MY ARETI

“Meeli´ s judgement and willingness is very much an indication of her excellent abilities as an extraordinarily talented department head and team leader, to find such graciousness and openness in your heart. It’s a pleasure to work with a dedicated professional like yourself who always puts the interest of the Owner and vessel above your own personal needs and wants.”

Managing Director of Yacht Management
 AL SEER MARINE

“Meeli and I have known each other for over a decade, working together on several yacht projects over 100 metres since 2014. I recognised her passion early on and trusted her with growing responsibility. Working through demanding builds and complex situations together has built a lasting professional trust and a friendship.

It has been rewarding to see her find her own voice in Holistic. Where I once offered guidance, we now exchange advice, and I value her judgement. She sees a yacht through the eyes of the people who will live and work on board, and understands why details that seem small during construction can matter enormously in daily use. That is a perspective I would welcome alongside me on future projects”

“It was brilliant working with you on such a fantastic yacht, and you were always a pleasure to work with. I wish you all the best for the future and hope our paths cross again.”

Marketing & Communications
STUART LARSEN

“I first met Meeli Lepik to organize the video and photo shoot on the yacht Areti where she held the position of chief stewardess.

The shoot was one of the smoothest and best organized I have ever managed. This was mainly due to Meeli’s coordination, detail and flexibility. Areti was immaculately presented, the crew well briefed, helpful and cooperative. The overall atmosphere on board was positive bordering on enthusiastic!

In addition, Meeli was a huge asset during the sales process providing timely information and support when required as well as managing the inventory and exclusion list and crew issues.

I have kept in touch with Meeli after the sale of the yacht and asked her to make a presentation to the students at the IUM university in Monaco. Meeli knows her job inside out, is an adept people manager and has detailed knowledge of the interior’s procurement side.”

“I sincerely appreciate what you did for ARETI and us all, and making every one’s life easier and more fun. Your love for ARETI and your job really shows in your passion. Rarely and I mean VERY rarely have I seen someone of your caliber. Please know that we will both always support you, will certainly pass your name around to people that deserve someone like you, and simply ask that you drop us a line every now and again to keep us updated on your movements, and as I said, we will see you in Tallinn sometime when it’s not too hot!”.

“I really enjoyed the years to work with you. Together with you we sorted so many things out on MY Areti and improved it until perfect. You made a fantastic job always and it was a pleasure to be a part of this time… The Lürssen team will miss you for sure!!!”
