The Neiman Marcus Edition Hacker-Craft yacht tender will be presented at land space 768 at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in West Palm Beach, running from March 22 to 26, 2012. At $250,000, the 27’ all mahogany Neiman Marcus Edition Hacker-Craft yacht is a mixture of cutting edge technology as well as retro glamour. Master boat builders worked more than 1400 hours to construct this amazing vessel. The gleaming hull and decks have 15 coats of varnish.
The yacht’s richly appointed interior boasts Neiman Marcus – style luxuries: a sterling silver plaque on the dashboard identifying the boat as a “Neiman Marcus Edition Hacker-Craft;” liquor cabinet with crystal decanters; monogrammed humidor; matched set of monogrammed towels, champagne glasses, cocktail glasses, napkins; cocktail blender; refrigerator; gold leaf waterline; custom designed bow flag; set of Hacker-Craft polo and long sleeve button-down shirts embroidered with: “Neiman Marcus Edition Hacker Craft”, sound system; GPS; bow thruster and underwater lighting. The boat is powered by a Mercury Marine 8.2 High Output 425 horsepower engine (CE compliant).
Since 1939, Neiman Marcus has issued an annual Christmas catalog, a tradition of unusual and extravagant gifts not sold in its stores. In 1952, Stanley Marcus introduced a new tradition of having extravagant and unusual gifts in each year’s Christmas catalog, The Christmas Book. At one point, the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog carried the distinction of being the item most stolen from recipients’ mailboxes, prompting a Chicago postmaster to suggest the company switch to enclosing the catalogs in plain brown wrappers.
