the superyachts volume 18

This 18th volume of “The Superyachts” includes a foreword by the passionate designer Giorgio Armani, who has turned his eyes to commissioning and designing his 49.9-metre motor yacht, Mariù. Highlighting his desire for a “floating island” on which he can enjoy “a degree of isolation”, this volume dedicates 6 pages to featuring Armani’s effortlessly simplistic designs. With an interesting introduction which sees Roger Lean-Vercoe debating the necessity of 100m + vessels, this edition boasts a healthy 63.6-metre size average of the boats covered, featuring the most splendid and varied selection to appear in “The Superyachts” so far. Attention must be turned to the elegant 54.2-metre Dubois sailing yacht Tiara, as featured on the front cover. For the discerning admirer of “big and beautiful” the 114.5-metre Pelorus should not be missed in this volume (her particularly impressive cabin layout permitting guests of a lower deck stateroom to quite literally dive from their suite’s sea terrace into the water, a feature rarely seen on a superyacht). Once again 22 crème de la crème vessels have been chosen for this volume, proving that variation is the key.
