Without the luxury trimmings, a superyacht is nothing!!!

5 of the Largest Megayachts at The Monaco Yacht Show

The French Riviera is known as the best location to scratch your late summer superyacht itch. But the true 200-foot-long and above megayachts don’t showcase itself to be seen by potential buyers until the Monaco Yacht Show later in the month. It’s only appropriate that some of the world’s largest yachts come to show off in the world’s second smallest country that’s synonymous with luxury as Monaco, is a home to the greatest number of millionaires and billionaires per capita in the world. So here’s a glimpse of the over 500 yachts and countless toys (the whole lot; from personal submarines to fully enclosed “limousine tenders” that allow yacht owners to sail without even feeling like you're on water) that will be showcased between September 28 and October 1.
