Each spring, the Monaco Grand Prix transforms the tiny principality into a theatre of speed, spectacle, and ultra-luxury. As Formula 1 cars scream through the streets of Monte Carlo, the harbour below plays host to an equally enthralling display: a fleet of megayachts, each more opulent than the next. These floating palaces are more than transport\u2014they are expressions of wealth, status, and quiet power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below, we explore five of the most iconic megayachts owned or chartered by celebrities and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs)\u2014each a statement piece in its own right, many spotted along the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur and, notably, during the Monaco Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Director Steven Spielberg’s Seven Seas<\/em>\u2014a 109-metre marvel built by Oceanco\u2014is a blend of innovation and subtle luxury.
