It’s showtime! What do Brigitte Bardot, Erroll Flynn, Johnny Depp, and the Rolling Stones have in common? They are all VIPs who share a passion for ships and the sea, often using sleek yachts as a stage for self-presentation. This book humorously explores this fascination through rarely seen black-and-white and color photographs, short texts, and original quotes, addressing what draws these individuals to the water and how they present themselves. The work is divided into five main chapters: 1. **Crowned Heads** – Featuring emperors, kings, and the Pope, including Gracia Patricia and the British Royal Family. 2. **Money Nobility** – Showcasing industrialists and playboys like Aristotle Onassis and Larry Ellison, highlighting their vibrant lives on board. 3. **Celebrities** – Delving into the glamorous world of actors and musicians, with figures like Erroll Flynn and Brigitte Bardot. 4. **Masterminds** – Covering politicians, scientists, and artists, including Albert Einstein and John F. Kennedy. 5. **Showtime** – A colorful exploration of cinema and television history. With witty and zeitgeist-driven imagery, the book captures the allure of the jet set lifestyle, leaving readers amused and enchanted.
