STE JILL
The 124-foot STE JILL is a composite semi-displacement tri-deck featuring exterior styling and interior design by Jonathan Quinn Barnett, with naval architecture by the Delta Design Group. Designed as a dramatic backdrop for the owner’s art collection from Europe and Asia, her modern European interior incorporates rich marbles, woods, and silks with exceptional spatial detailing. From elevated ceiling heights to handcrafted hardware and convertible spaces, STE JILL reflects the convergence of artistic passion, technical sophistication, and thoughtful design. Bringing together nouveau European styling and a flavor of the Orient, STE JILL is a masterfully crafted expression of personal vision.

The interior is a refined mélange of texture and color. An exotic selection of marbles, granites, and woods contrasts with light silk fabrics and wall hangings. Eight different woods—including rosewood, makore pomelle, and madrona burl—bring warmth and depth to the spaces, highlighting the owner’s affinity for rich, inviting environments.
A standout feature of STE JILL is the unusually generous headroom throughout, averaging 7 feet. This was achieved by raising the bulwark and sheerline, elevating the decks to deliver an enhanced sense of volume and comfort. Other exceptional touches include handcrafted seahorse-motif handles, silverleaf ceiling coves, and over 100 wood components in each stateroom door. A fully equipped gym can convert into a double stateroom, adding flexibility without sacrificing style. The main salon’s open staircase links to the modern bridge and expansive sky lounge, while the boat deck features a Jacuzzi, barbecue, large dinette, and tender storage. The flybridge adds another seating area, with a table that transforms into a sunbed.
Delta’s hallmark engineering is evident throughout. Twin Detroit 16V-92TA engines reside in an oversized engine room alongside a spacious engineer’s workstation. Decoupled engines and gears, along with custom mufflers and exhaust systems, ensure quiet and efficient operation. A hydraulic passerelle, designed for European docking, stows neatly within the lazarette when not in use.
