Swiss investor Tobias Reichmuth is embarking on a special journey to the Blue Zones, the regions where people grow particularly old and happy. Shortly before the start of the expedition on the yacht "Prometej", BOOTE EXCLUSIV spoke to him about insights for a long and healthy life: "Longevity".

BOOTE EXCLUSIV: Which guests are already on your list?

Tobias Reichmuth: We haven't made all the calls yet, only with those who want to join us in March or April. We now have three people of whom we say: yes cool, we would like to have them on board, they are interesting.

What kind of people are they? What areas do they come from?

A Shaolin monk, a fashion designer from Switzerland and a clinic owner from Bulgaria. We are interested in what we can learn from these people.

What are you hoping for from the guests, including lectures?

Yes, that's the idea. Everyone who comes on board undertakes to give a presentation at least once in an evening.

What does a day on board look like?

We do sport in the morning, that's a given. We have yoga mats and a gym, and we stream a personal training session live twice a week via Power Cube. Then we have breakfast. The rest depends on whether we're at sea or in the harbour. A typical daily routine would be boring.

So it's not too scientific?

Not at all. It's a journey of discovery with a mission. The mission is "Finding Longevity" and we are looking for best practices worldwide. But we're also travelling with friends and doing lots of fun things. The social component is also super important for longevity.

What other entertainment ideas are there on board?

We are not a cruise. Nobody comes on board expecting to be entertained. Our friends can keep themselves busy. There will certainly be lots of spontaneous activities. Last summer there were shore excursions, water sports, long dinners. It was never boring.

How do you like this article?

Is alcohol allowed?

Yes, of course. I also like to have a glass of wine from time to time. Everyone can do that however they like. We have a well-stocked wine fridge on board.

Are you going to write a book about the trip?

We would like to set up a longevity platform on the subject of nutrition. I can imagine that longevity and yachting will gain momentum. We are the first superyacht to be fully dedicated to this topic. BlueCruise could become a certificate that we could use to advise yachts. But the luxury is that we are making the journey because it is fun and will generate new insights. It doesn't have to make money.

Uske was born just outside Volkswagen in 1970 and tested various small boats with sails through her boyfriend (now husband 😊) on a quarry pond. Her studies in Kiel took her to the Baltic Sea with boats of all kinds and eventually to a regatta from Hong Kong to Mauritius via the Academic Sailing Club. Her teacher training ended at the Burda School of Journalism in Munich instead of in the classroom and finally at Boote Exclusiv. After a long break and various stories about house building, she returned to Delius Klasing and has been filling the magazine with long stories about large ships ever since. A family-owned H-boat was quickly sold again as the mother realized that sailing with two small children was neither relaxing nor fun.
