Description

Part of Assouline’s special series, the Legends Collection, each hardcover tome is housed in its own elegant slipcase. These titles are the authority on their subjects, inspired by mythic eras, artists, and high society. Fit for royalty, these books are inspired by tastemakers across the centuries, and are essential to the culturally inclined influencers of today.

It started with one man’s dream: to establish a yacht brokerage based on a protocol of integrity, discretion and client care never seen before. Founded in 1975 by Nigel Burgess, a renowned solo ocean racer with an obsessive eye for detail and a passion for the sea, Burgess today is a global company providing 360-degree service, from yacht building or brokering to charter and management.

And yet the adventurous spirit that first drove Nigel Burgess still impels the company forward, always looking toward the next horizon. In this gorgeous volume, Burgess explores the future of yachting, including design that pushes the boundaries of beauty combined with functionality, far-flung destinations that emphasize exploration and discovery, innovative toys from the underwater depths to the edge of the stratosphere, and how the industry is approaching the issues of sustainability and social responsibility.
