With "Tis", we boarded the largest yacht ever presented at the yacht show in Monaco. However, the 111 metre Andrew Winch design not only amazed us with its size, but also with an interior that is second to none. In order to meet the owner's taste precisely, the British design team travelled to famous grand hotels to take measurements and colour samples. Our editor Sören Gehlhaus takes you on a tour of six detailed decks and a tea room modelled on the Café Ladurée in Paris.
Our author and photographer Carolin Thiersch researched and documented how colourful tiles are turned into artistic glass mosaics that decorate pools, jacuzzis and wellness areas on board yachts. In our report, you can find out how many hours of manual work go into one square metre of on-board jewellery.
Lexus now also has superyachts in its programme. We attended the world premiere of the €3.34 million LY 650, drove the extravagantly styled Nuvolari-Lenard design along the Intracoastal Waterway in Florida and spoke to Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda about the automotive group's future maritime plans.
BOOTE EXCLUSIV 1/2020 will be available in well-stocked newsagents from 8 January. If not, you can order the current or missed issues conveniently and free of shipping costs throughout Germany here in the online shop.
