SUPERYACHT captain Matthias Bosse’s Splendid Sea business has teamed up with private club entrepreneur Michael Hehn to unveil the Maybach Ocean Club – a highly exclusive cruising concept that will give high-net worth individuals the opportunity to co-own a 155-metre ultra-luxury shadow vessel, Beyond Horizons, designed by Dolker Voges.
The new club aims to build a community of 300 coowners who are entitled to four weeks on board the yacht per year.
As part of the exclusive membership, they will also have access to the yacht’s common areas, restaurants, beach club, and more if they happen to be in the location that the yacht is calling in at the time.
Guests will be housed in 30 identical residentialstyle suites each measuring 74m and featuring a private balcony.
The idea began in 2020 when Bosse, a super yacht Captain of the Lady Moura for 15 years, brought the plan to Hehn.
A business called Splendid Sea was formed and pitched to multiple partners, at which point Mercedes-Benz and its ultra-luxury arm, Maybach, better known for V12-powered saloons for the famous, came on board.
Hehn told Boat International, “[Mercedes] happened to be looking into the yacht space” and were particularly interested in the idea of a club based around a super yacht.
After lengthy negotiations the Maybach Ocean Club was born.
Online reservations allow members to make their booking while a conciergesupported system preallocates primeseason time and lets members trade weeks or invite friends and family.
The current target for the maiden season is 2029. DF
