Remarkable Superyachts
Remarkable Superyachts explores the rich history of luxury yachts from around the world, tracing their evolution in the late 19th and early 20th centuries through to the boundary-pushing vessels of today.
We begin with notable boats such as El Mahrousa (1865) and Talitha (1925) which redefined luxury yachting in the early 20th century. Journey through once-unchartered waters and discover iconic vessels and milestones, such as the launch of Carinthia VI in 1974, which inspired future superstars like Limitless (the largest privately owned American yacht of its time, which still exists today).
Discover the world’s largest superyacht Azzam which is nearly 600 ft long; the boat Octopus with its own music studio reportedly where Mick Jagger recorded his debut album, and the AK Royalty, which is a Palmer Johnson yacht with a 24-karat gold plated exterior.
Readers will meet exciting entrepreneurs such as Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis, whose superyacht Christina O set new standards for opulence, against the backdrop of a dramatic rivalry with fellow magnate Stavros Niarchos. Go celebrity spotting with well-known faces such as Jeff Bezos (owner of superyacht Koru, the largest sailing yacht in the world), Diane von Furstenberg (owner of the $200 million superyacht Eos) and the Beckhams’ Riva Argo 90 Seven (named for David’s iconic football shirt number).
In this book you will also learn about the innovations shaping modern yachting: including hydrogen fuel-cell technology and AI-powered vessels. With stunning photographs, “look-inside” shots, and insights from key designers and builders, Remarkable Superyachts offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of the superyacht industry.
