ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by ANDREA BOCELLI

A boat is not unlike a home. A nomadic home, without foundations and without borders, a place of intimacy and freedom that dominates the sea and has the sky as its roof. On a boat I have my favourite balcony on creation, to be shared with the people I love. 

The sea is the ideal place to recharge myself with those energies that are fundamental for those who want to face the stage and an increasingly demanding public. Furthermore, in absolute silence, surrounded by water, listening to music is suggestive and full of emotions. 

By adoring the sea, I also developed a powerful interest in boats of all kinds and sizes. A passion that has its roots in the holidays of my childhood, when we went out to sea for short excursions with my father and brother. 

In the past I have had oversized yachts, very complex vessels to manage, but vice versa also smaller and more aggressive boats, steeds ready to be ridden and in turn to ride the sea. 

The seasons of life offer different shades to the concept of fun and vacation ... I am particularly satisfied with my current yacht, the “Northern Star” designed by the engineer Sergio Cutolo, a perfect synthesis of comfort, elegance, and harmony of spaces and functions.
