This book illustrates stories of the evolution of these projects in terms of design, technology, luxury, indoor and outdoor projects, and performance. The impossible collection is an eclectic and glossy anthology of exclusive yachts, which have often welcomed royal personalities, celebrities, and athletes, from Grace Kelly to Audrey Hepburn, from JF Kennedy to Brigitte Bardot.

 

Monarchs and jet sets have always longed to spend their leisure time on the water, whether it was to escape the paparazzi, the beauty of the scenery, certainly for the luxury of absolute privacy. The nautical scene has always attracted high society individuals, to name just a few: the royal yacht Britannia of Her Majesty Elizabeth II, or the elegant vessels of the jazz age such as the Nahlin, right to the legendary parties with Hollywood stars, including Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra, invited aboard Aristotle Onassis' Christina O.

All yachts in this great fleet have transformed the yachting seascape, whether they are 'impossible' in size, speed, luxurious features, or advanced ecological technology.

As long as there are wealthy people and blue oceans to explore, there will always be a demand for these beautiful creatures that break the boundaries of technology and luxury. And always new, harmoniously designed yachts to build. Worthy, of course, of this "impossible collection".
