JOHN F. KENNEDY
Former American President John F. Kennedy’s favourite way to
escape the chaotic life in the White House was to set sail on his
beloved yacht, the Honey Fitz, nicknamed the ‘White House on
the water’. This incredible wooden vessel was built in 1931 and
served five American presidents, from Harry S. Truman to JFK,
whose wife, Jackie installed the boat’s very first colour television
in the 60s. Both Kennedy and Jackie exude glamour, with
Kennedy being considered one of the most handsome presidents
of all time and Jackie is a style icon to this day. Both are a major
inspiration when it comes to nautical style and aesthetics.
AUDREY HEPBURN
The iconic “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” star had her hearts from the very
beginning of her career. Always stylish from head to toe, Audrey’s
style at sea was always impeccable and inspiring. After filming
“Roman Holiday” with Gregory Peck in 1953, Hepburn resided
in the Italian capital for over 20 years. Often spending summers
sailing around the Mediterranean, Audrey’s classic sailing style is
still imitated today by women all over the world.
ELIZABETH TAYLOR
The incredible Elizabeth Taylor loved to sail and looked incredible
doing it. Taylor’s husband, Richard Burton, purchased their
Edwardian motor yacht, the Kalizma, for her in 1967. After
renting the iconic boat, the couple bought it and had it completely
refurbished. Nearly every week, the yacht was moored at one of the
beautiful ports along the Mediterranean and boarded by famous
friends and guests who indulged in lavish meals as they sailed the
stunning coastline together.
