Dear readers, spring has finally arrived and we are looking forward to an exciting yachting season with lots of new launches, regattas and trips. In keeping with this, we present a selection of spectacular yachting destinations.

Destinations far away from the crowded bays around Ibiza, the Côte d'Azur or Palma. Wanderlust guaranteed!

A yacht that is made for such extravagant voyages graces our current cover. With the 58-metre-long "Ngoni", Royal Huisman has created one of the most radical yachts in the shipyard's history, which has its origins in the owner's much-quoted request: "Build me a beast!" The contrast to the 27-metre-long SX88 from the Sanlorenzo halls could hardly be greater. The extraordinary semi-custom format - which sold 13 units in just six months! - polarises more than almost any other yacht in this size segment thanks to its incomparable interior concept. Form your own opinion.

The BOOTE EXCLUSIV editorial team hopes you enjoy this issue

BOOTE EXCLUSIV 3/2018 will be available from well-stocked newsagents from 2 May. If not, you can order the current or missed issues conveniently and free of shipping costs throughout Germany here in the online shop.

Martin Hager

Editor in Chief YACHT

Martin Hager is editor-in-chief of the titles YACHT and BOOTE EXCLUSIV and has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag for 20 years. He was born in Heidelberg in 1978 and started sailing at the age of six, in an Opti of course. This was soon followed by 420s, Sprinta Sport and 470s, which he also sailed on the regatta course with his brother. His parents regularly took him on charter trips through the Greek and Balearic Islands. Even at a young age, it was clear to him that he wanted to turn his passion for water sports into a career. After graduating from high school and completing an internship at the Rathje boatbuilding company in Kiel, it was clear that he did not want to become a classic boatbuilder. Instead, he successfully studied shipbuilding and marine engineering in the Schleswig-Holstein state capital and focused on yacht design wherever he could. His diploma thesis dealt with the “Testing of a new speed prediction method for sailing yachts”. In 2004, the superyacht magazine BOOTE EXCLUSIV was looking for an editor with technical and nautical background knowledge, a position that was perfect for Martin Hager. The application was successful and a two-year traineeship was arranged. After twelve years as an editor, the editorial team changed and he took over responsibility for BOOTE EXCLUSIV as editor-in-chief in 2017. After long-time YACHT editor-in-chief Jochen Rieker moved to the role of publisher, Martin Hager also took over the position of editor-in-chief of Europe's largest sailing magazine YACHT, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year, at the beginning of 2023. When he's not working on topics for the two water sports titles, Martin Hager likes to go out on the water himself - preferably with kite and wingfoil equipment or on a little after-work trip across the Alster.
