Description
Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc immortalizes the epitome of French luxury in 1969, when four gleaming Riva motorboats rest side-by-side at the hotel's individual marina. A crew member in pristine whites tends to the meticulously maintained mahogany vessels, including the recognizable Sunny III with its A.Y.C.M. registration visible on the transom. Behind this serene preparation, a water skier carves dramatic wake patterns through azure Mediterranean waters, pulled by a sleek speedboat. Slim Aarons witnessed this daily ballet at Cap d'Antibes, where Italian boat craftsmanship met French refinement against rocky coastline and endless blue horizon.
