Picture this: you’re sailing on your superyacht along the picturesque French Riviera, surrounded by breathtaking beauty that calls for a celebratory toast. But what happens when you want to raise a toast in choppy waters? This is a predicament only someone with significant time aboard a yacht can truly address. Enter Germain Mari-Olive, a seasoned captain of luxury yachts with 20 years of seafaring experience, who created the remarkable Tulip, a sophisticated contraption designed to secure expensive champagne and fine wine on the most prestigious yachts and private jets.

The Tulip is the culmination of over four years of meticulous research and development and boasts multiple international patents. This tray, available in endless customizations, is a masterful blend of cutting-edge technology and luxury. Each Tulip by Germain item requires at least 800 hours of manufacturing to complete, ensuring impeccable craftsmanship.

Toasting to the good life is as integral to yachting as navigating choppy seas or handling bumpy landings. That’s why each Tulip tray features a high-tech mechanism capable of withstanding up to a 30-degree tilt, ensuring your drinks remain secure. The tray is equipped with eight glass holders to accommodate champagne flutes or wine glasses of any design. For those with refined tastes and a penchant for splurging, the Tulip can be customized with luxurious finishes, including carbon fiber, white, yellow, or rose gold, even gemstones, diamonds, and their ilk.

Prices range from €40,000 to €850,000 (approximately $45,000 – $880,000), reflecting its unparalleled elegance and functionality.
