Guillaume Plisson captures the world's largest and most extravagant yachts with a unique perspective characterised by childlike curiosity and a playful sense of discovery. Many of his works have graced the BOOTE EXCLUSIV cover over the years and are responsible for the fact that you too can immerse yourself in our stories. To escape the hustle and bustle of the fair, we climbed aboard a beautiful mahogany dayboat from J Craft. You couldn't imagine a more fitting place for a conversation about his photographic beginnings, his most exciting assignments and his outstanding experiences behind the lens. As we cruised through Port Hercule and out onto the bay of Roquebrune with the gentle hum of the engine and the bright September sun, the photographer talked animatedly about his professional life. And he did so with such enthusiasm and joy that it is no wonder why his pictures are so special. For us, this issue is a dream come true.
One owner, two yachts and eight decks - this game of numbers results in a successful combination of floating extravagance. The recently launched 60-metre explorer "After You" and its equally new 53-metre shadow "Emotional" travel together with a clear division of tasks, from which charter customers also benefit for the first time. Ice-class hulls allow them to sail to climatically challenging areas such as Alaska, Greenland, Iceland or Scotland. The certified helidecks make spontaneous journeys possible and offer the flexibility and redundancy required for heliskiing. Find out what else the two exceptional formats have to offer.
boot Düsseldorf takes place in mid-January and serves as a showcase for over 1,000 boats and yachts. For superyacht enthusiasts, there will once again be a host of exciting new products and world premieres to discover this year. After your visit to the superlatives in Hall 6, the BOOTE EXCLUSIV editorial team looks forward to a lively exchange.
Enjoy this issue!
Yours sincerely, Martin Hager
