Compared with earlier versions of the model, the latest Nomad 101 adopts a more sustainable approach to her interiors. Phathom Studio Design Partner Raquel H. Grijota explained that these incorporate natural and renewable materials, including flax, hemp and bamboo fibres, alongside bio-based vegan leather, reclaimed wood flooring and carpets made from recycled fishing nets.

Other features include composite stone surfaces incorporating recycled materials and non-toxic, bio-based lacquer throughout the living spaces. These finishes complement the interiors' soft-minimalist aesthetic, characterised by clean architectural lines and a restrained colour palette. The Nomad 101 yacht accommodates up to 10 guests and carries a crew of six, including the captain.
