badhorn.ch M. Y. “Emily” The Queen of Style – on Lake Constance Welcome on board! Cruising on Lake Constance A nautical event in a class of its own with our M. Y. “Emily” Our exclusive “Emily” motor yacht is reminiscent of the legendary wooden yachts of the 1930s. Typical Belle Époque elements were used for its construction. Resulting in an equally inviting and elegant ambience. Enjoy an unforgettable cruising experience on Lake Constance with us and a maximum of 54 guests on the “Emily”! Our beautiful motor yacht’s cruises are a special treat at any time of the year, as it has both air conditioning against the summer heat and heating for the colder season. In winter, when the lake shows its mystical side, the on-board fireplace creates a cosy atmosphere. In summer, you can relax on the upper deck with a glass of wine and admire the beauty of the landscape or a magnificent sunset. The entrance to Lindau harbour is an attraction time and time again. M. Y. “Emily” Documentation 1 Preface and history of M. Y. “Emily” Hotel Bad Horn was founded as a bathing hotel in 1827 and the whey cures offered soon became extremely popular. At that time, shipping was still in its infancy on Lake Constance. Though there had been sailing ships, the “Lädinen”, which transported goods and shore dwellers on the lake from the Middle Ages until the end of the 19th century. However, the carriages and horses that travelled between the villages were more im- portant as a means of transport. The first steamship on Lake Constance, the “Wilhelm”, was officially put into service in 1824. The ship was 32 metres long, had a wooden hull and could accommodate 124 people. When the railroad came to the “Swabian Sea”, the number of guests also increased and a larger fleet of steamships was launched as a result. The passenger steamers first docked at the well-known Bad Horn spa hotel around 1880. This already had its own landing stage back then. Following an eventful history with many changes of ownership at the turn of the century and during the war years, the Swiss car pioneer Emil Frey acquired the company in 1974. Today’s “Bad Horn”, a gem with maritime flair, was created in several phases of expansion and conversion over the past 50 years. Due to the location of the hotel and existing boat harbour, it seemed obvious to purchase a yacht for events at sea. For a long time the right option was searched for, until the decision was finally made to build a new ship. In 1997, the necessary permits were obtained to build the M. Y. “Emily” – as a replica of the “Principia” ship from Seattle (USA). The choice of name was not difficult: “Emily” was intended on the one hand to commemorate the company founder Emil Frey and on the other hand to stand for quality and noblesse. Because that is also the name of the most famous radiator mascot in the history of motoring – “Emily” has adorned every Rolls-Royce since 1911! Our “Emily” was created with a lot of commitment and joy to offer you, dear guests, an unforgettable nautical experience. We look forward to welcoming you on board!
