A Captivating Voyage Awaits: Yachts - The Impossible Collection is August's first book of the week.
Yachts: The Impossible Collection is a truly exceptional book -- a book that, shall we say, makes waves!
At first glance, the book screams luxury, with its handcrafted volume housed in a clamshell case and the inclusion of white gloves and a signature canvas tote bag.
These extra touches alone make the Yachts Collection a desirable item for any luxury library, but it's the content within the book that sets it apart.
Yachts are synonymous with luxury, prestige, and exclusivity.
Imagine having a boat so large it could fit a tennis court...
The Impossible Collection showcases the most exceptional and jaw-dropping yachts from past to present, including the 1851 ship for which the America’s Cup was named, to J Class racing yachts of the early 1900s, to the current high-tech megayachts.
All of the vessels in this fantasy marina have transformed the yachting seascape, whether in terms of sheer size, speed, luxurious features, or advanced green technology.
The book features an impressive 200 illustrations that capture the essence of each yacht. From the vintage elegance of Nahlin, once chartered by King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, to Aristotle Onassis’ Christina O, where Hollywood royalty was invited in the swinging 60s, the book covers a range of historical and contemporary yachts.
Yachts is not only for yachting enthusiasts; it is also an ode to the evolution of yacht design and how it remains at the upper echelons of luxurious living.
In conclusion, Yachts: The Impossible Collection is an extravagant, weighty, and well-researched book that will appeal to anyone with an interest in yachting, luxury, and design. It stands as a testament to the evolution of yachting and how it has remained a symbol of extravagance and prestige for centuries. With so much focus on sustainability and the environment in the yachting world, this book is a reminder of what was, what is, and what's to come.
