He, who once made a fortune selling the Uncle Sam fitness brand, runs his own docu-soap with his family, in which the 39-metre-long "Indigo Star" plays a leading role. So what could be more natural than to arrange an interview with Geiss? What makes an owner tick who presents his everyday life on board to an audience of millions? What is important to him in a yacht, which destinations should you definitely visit? At the Yacht Club de Monaco, I met a man who, without television cameras and a large audience, is a very pleasant dialogue partner on an almost friendly level.
A second trend theme in this issue is "The wellness society". We have often mentioned that spa and wellness areas on yachts are growing. But now this development has picked up speed once again. BOOTE EXCLUSIV editor Martin Hager therefore met with the key players in the yacht spa scene to summarise the latest developments. One astonishing realisation: hardly anyone is talking about wellness. It's all about healthiness and the medically verifiable effects of the treatments. "What effect does water have when it splashes on us?" is currently being investigated. Very exciting.
Have fun reading!
