Speedboat Landing

Speedboat Landing captures Mediterranean luxury from directly above, as a gleaming white motor yacht arrives at Il Pellicano Hotel's weathered wooden jetty. Count Theodoli's magnificent Magnum speedboat, spanning thirty to forty feet with curved windscreen, creates dramatic perpendicular lines against the rectangular dock below. Four figures orchestrate this elegant arrival: a woman in dark bikini stands on the bow, two companions control the vessel from cushioned seats, while a fourth waits on sun-bleached planks. Slim Aarons immortalized this August 1973 afternoon as pure aerial artistry, where ocean blue waters contrast against brilliant white fiberglass.
