hat could be better than being on board the only yacht in a lovely bay at sunset in the company of the right people, sipping a glass of fine wine or
expensive Champagne at just the right temperature? To make the most of such sublime moments, many connoisseur owners who are lovers of fine wines would like their yacht to provide a suitable place to store their personal wine collections on board - and now the yacht’s wine cellar has become not only the perfect place to keep different types at the correct temperature but also a lovely design object that enhances its surroundings as much as or more than a marvellous bergère chair. Nowadays wine cellars are increasingly being seen as not only functional but lovely to look at, objects to admire as a work of art on full display in the lounge, the beating heart of the yacht’s social life. The results of this trend can be seen on Overmarine’s 50-metre Moonraker, with two glittering, transparent furniture units created in the same style as the yacht itself along the lounge walls. They were made by Esigo, a company founded in the Veneto region in 2007 and now expert in the bespoke manufacture of refrigerated wine cellars for all settings from 5-star hotels to elegant restaurants, spas and, of course, luxury yachts. Bespoke design is entirely focussed on details, and all are made to measure on the basis of the owner’s desires using the most select materials with a variety of finishes, from metal to precious woods, textured finishes and gold leaf, all applied by master artisans. The result is remarkable works of art to stand in front of, admire - and then enjoy the contents!
