Yachts: The Impossible Collection【ASSOULINE】

Since time immemorial, monarchs, nobility and the aristocracy have yearned to spend their leisure time on the water. From Cleopatra‚Äôs fabled luxury barge to Her Majesty‚Äôs Royal Yacht Britannia, from elegant Jazz Age vessels such as Nahlin, once chartered by King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, to the swinging ‚Äô60s Hollywood royalty invited aboard Aristotle Onassis‚Äô Christina O, the yachting scene has always attracted celebrities, high society and the top 0.1%. But with over three thousand sizable yachts currently in the global fleet, not to mention those legendary vessels that are sadly no longer in existence, how do we distinguish the cr√®me de la cr√®me of this exclusive breed? Yachts: The Impossible Collection is an eclectic and carefully curated anthology of ships, from the 1851 ship for which the America‚Äôs Cup was named, to J Class racing yachts of the early 1900s, to the current high-tech megayachts, from classics with timeless silhouettes, to head-turners that broke the mold with daring design and redefined their era. And with so much focus today on the environment and the health of the oceans, the yachting world is changing quickly, increasingly pursuing sustainability. Whether impossible in sheer size, speed, luxurious features or advanced green technology, all of the vessels in this fantasy marina have transformed the yachting seascape. As long as there are people with means and blue oceans to explore, there will always be a demand for these beautiful and impossible creatures that break the boundaries of technology, luxury and decadence‚Äîand new yachts are still yet to be built, worthy of The Impossible Collection.
