The large yacht sector has experienced a remarkable upswing in recent years. More and more Ultra High Net Worth Individuals, UHNWI for short, are investing in luxury yachts, which are not only seen as a means of transport, but also as symbols of freedom, style and limitless design. The new exhibition at the IMMH showcases some exciting exhibits. Visitors can look forward to yacht models by various designers and informative presentations on the latest trends and technologies.
High-calibre guests attend the opening
The exhibition is not only a tribute to the extraordinary individual constructions, but also to the talented designers, shipyards, owners and representatives behind these technically highly complex masterpieces. With renowned guests from the world of superyachts, the IMMH will become a centre for maritime innovation and yacht building on the opening day. Well-known constructors and designers such as Martin Francis, Dickie Bannenberg, Pascale Reymond and representatives from shipyards such as Feadship and Lürssen are expected to provide insights into their creative processes and challenges. The topic of sustainability, which is becoming increasingly important in the maritime industry, will also play a central role.
Hamburg is Germany's superyacht hub
The IMMH is already known for its extensive collection of maritime artefacts and stories. With the superyacht exhibition, the museum adds a new dimension that not only visually inspires visitors, but also makes them think. In a specially designed section, those interested can learn more about the evolution of superyachts and how they have changed over the years - from the first luxury yachts built in the early 1900s to the ultra-modern yachts of today.
The fascinating world of shipping on nine decks
"The highlights of our permanent exhibition, which spans nine decks, attract just as many visitors as our special exhibitions," explains museum director Peter Tamm. "Once again this year, we are giving our guests extraordinary insights into the fascinating world of shipping, which of course also includes the world of superyachts." Be there when a new era of maritime heritage is heralded in the heart of Hamburg from 26 February!
