Yachts Book: Impossible collection by Assouline
Description
Since time immemorial, monarchs, nobility and aristocracy have yearned to spend their leisure time on the water. From Cleopatra’s legendary luxury barge to Her Majesty’s Royal Yacht Britannia, from elegant Jazz Age vessels such as the Nahlin, once chartered by King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, to 1960s Hollywood royalty invited aboard Aristotle Onassis’ Christina O, the yachting scene has always attracted celebrities, high society and the top 0.1%. But with over three thousand of the sizeable yachts currently in the global fleet, not to mention those legendary vessels that sadly no longer exist, how do you separate the crème de la crème of this exclusive breed? Yachts: The Impossible Collection is an eclectic and carefully curated anthology of vessels, from the 1851 vessel for which the America’s Cup was named, to the J-Class racing yachts of the early 1900s, to today’s high-tech megayachts, from classics with timeless silhouettes, to head-turners who broke the mold with bold design and redefined their era. And with so much focus on the environment and ocean health today, the yachting world is rapidly evolving and increasingly looking to sustainability. Whether impossible in size, speed, luxurious features or advanced green technology, all of the vessels in this fantastic marina have transformed the yachting seascape. As long as there are people with means and blue oceans to explore, there will always be demand for these magnificent, impossible creatures that break the boundaries of technology, luxury and decadence – and new yachts are yet to be built, worthy of The Impossible Collection.
Exclusive white gloves and canvas tote bag are included with every Ultimate Collection book purchase.
