The SEA CLOUD’s life story is more thrilling than some novels. She was built in 1931 in Kiel at the request of a Wall Street broker. It was his wife,
Lady Marjorie Post, who shaped the
SEA CLOUD’s character.

dark chapters in the history of the once glamorous private yacht – until she was bought in 1978 by a group of Hamburg-based shipowners and businessmen and given a new life.
