MARCO RAMIN
Luxury interior photographer for hotels, resorts, yachts and prestige brands
Luxury Yacht, Superyacht & Sailing Yacht Photography
Yacht photography demands precision, control of light and a real understanding of the marine world. I create photography and video for yachts, superyachts and luxury sailing yachts, covering interiors, exteriors, details and lifestyle on board, with images built to sell, charter and elevate the vessel.

Luxury Yacht and Superyacht Photography
A superyacht is judged in seconds, from the first image in a listing or a brochure. That is where it is decided whether a boat deserves a viewing.
I build complete and consistent sets, made to hold up on international portals, in shipyard campaigns and in the trade press.
Interiors, exteriors, cruising and lifestyle told in one language, so the full value of the vessel reaches whoever is buying or chartering.
Yacht Interiors: light, materials and proportions
Yacht interiors have specific requirements. Controlled spaces, reflective surfaces, precious materials and fluid architecture call for advanced management of light and composition.
What I cover:
• owner's cabins and guest suites
• saloons and interior lounges
• dinettes, galleys, day heads
• materials and textures, construction details
• lighting design and atmosphere
• courtesy areas and interior circulation
The aim is to present spaces that reflect the character of the yacht and the identity of the shipyard and its designers.
Exteriors, lifestyle and life on board
The exteriors define the personality of a superyacht.
What I photograph:
• main and upper decks
• sun deck, outdoor living areas, beach club
• lounge, dining and relaxation areas
• design details and finishes
• tenders, water toys and accessories
• life on board, presented with elegance and without forced staging
Every image keeps colour consistency and enhances proportions, build quality and the atmosphere on board.
Storytelling for shipyards and brands
A shipyard and a nautical brand do not only need beautiful images: they need a consistent narrative that supports their positioning over time. I work on three fronts: sales, with complete sets that read clearly in the formats the portals require; charter, where atmosphere and the onboard experience are what count; and refit, documenting the before, the work in progress and the final result.
It includes:
Sales and listing sets, with full coverage of interiors, exteriors and cruising
Charter material, centred on lifestyle and life on board
Refit documentation, from before to work in progress to after
Brand campaigns, with moodboards and direction shared with marketing and designers
Delivery with files for web, print, sales portals and vertical formats for social.
Where I work in the Mediterranean
I photograph yachts and boats in Monaco and on the French Riviera, in Porto Cervo and Costa Smeralda, in Liguria, in the Balearics and across the whole Mediterranean, with international travel on request. In Porto Cervo and Costa Smeralda I often pair shoots on board with shoots of properties ashore, to build a consistent narrative across boat, marina and resort: if you also need the hospitality side, you will find everything on the page dedicated to luxury hotel and villa photography in Costa Smeralda.
Shipyards presenting new models, brokers who need to sell a vessel in the shortest possible time, charter companies competing on portals such as MYBA, private owners and communication agencies in the sector. Every client has different needs: a sales listing requires completeness and clarity, a brand campaign requires vision and stylistic consistency. The service is built around this.
Who I work with
Nautical photography has constraints that interiors do not: tight spaces, reflective surfaces, movement, light that changes constantly and short operational windows. I plan every shoot around weather conditions and the best hours of the day, coordinating with the captain and crew. I work with a support tender for shots at water level and with a drone for aerials, keeping the hull sharp even at speed.
How I work on board
During the same production I create photographs and vertical content in 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and campaigns, alongside highlight videos for the website and portals. A single archive covering every channel, with no additional shooting days.
Vertical photo and video for social and campaigns
I cover trade shows and industry events across Europe, delivering material quickly so it can be used during the event itself: Porto Cervo, Costa Smeralda, Monaco Yacht Show, Cannes Yachting Festival, Genoa International Boat Show, the Venice Boat Show at the Arsenale, Boot Düsseldorf, Palma International Boat Show and Barcelona Boat Show, Versilia Yachting Rendez vous, Yare and METSTRADE. Coverage can include the stand, the vessels on display, press meetings and content for social.
