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—they are expressions of wealth, status, and quiet power.

Below, we explore five of the most iconic megayachts owned or chartered by celebrities and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs)—each a statement piece in its own right, many spotted along the Côte d’Azur and, notably, during the Monaco Grand Prix.

M/Y Seven Seas – The Cinematic Escape of Steven Spielberg

Director Steven Spielberg’s Seven Seas—a 109-metre marvel built by Oceanco—is a blend of innovation and subtle luxury. Custom-built with the director’s tastes in mind, the yacht includes an infinity pool with a 15-foot glass wall that doubles as a movie screen. Nuvolari & Lenard were responsible for both the interior and exterior design, combining cinematic vision with maritime engineering.

The yacht has made appearances in Monaco’s Port Hercules, especially during yachting events and the Grand Prix. She is also available for private charter, with reports suggesting an eye-watering weekly rate well into the seven figures.

M/Y Faith – Owned by Canadian Billionaire Michael Latifi

Owned by businessman Michael Latifi (father of F1 driver Nicholas Latifi), Faith is a stunning 97-metre Feadship yacht that has garnered significant attention on the Riviera. Her elegant exterior by RWD (Redman Whiteley Dixon) and interiors by Chahan Interior Design make Faith a standout—sophisticated without overstatement.

With a glass-bottomed swimming pool, a cinema, a snow room, and a wellness centre, Faith has been spotted during F1 week moored in Monaco, often rented out to wealthy clientele for high-profile events. Her design reflects a lifestyle rooted in elegance, wellness, and understated opulence—principles we at Luxoria Interiors are deeply familiar with when curating interiors for high end living, whether on land or sea.

M/Y Tranquility – The Yacht Once Rented by Kylie Jenner

The 91.5-metre Tranquility turned heads when Kylie Jenner chartered it for her 22nd birthday on the Amalfi Coast—a week estimated to cost over €1 million. Built by Oceanco and originally named Equanimity, the yacht features interiors by Winch Design, known for their soothing palettes and masterful use of natural light.

Accommodating up to 22 guests and boasting a wellness spa, plunge pool, and outdoor cinema, Tranquility has since become a popular choice for those wishing to entertain in the highest style during key Mediterranean events, including the Monaco Yacht Show and F1 week.

M/Y Lady Moura – A Monaco Icon Reborn

Few yachts are more closely tied to Monaco than Lady Moura. Once owned by Saudi billionaire Nasser Al-Rashid, this 105-metre Blohm+Voss-built yacht was a Monaco mainstay for over two decades, often moored prominently along the Quai des États-Unis during Grand Prix weekend.

Recently refitted and relaunched on the charter market, Lady Moura retains her iconic gold-embossed nameplate and Helipad, while her interiors—renovated with a contemporary approach—reflect a seamless balance between palatial tradition and modern comfort.

Luxury Lifestyle, Afloat and Ashore

While these yachts may represent the pinnacle of private ownership or chartered indulgence, they also mirror the broader evolution of luxury design. No longer just status symbols, today’s megayachts reflect intentional, curated environments—often with interiors as thoughtfully designed as any coastal villa or urban penthouse.

At Luxoria Interiors, we understand the subtle language of luxury—from the custom joinery of a contemporary salon to the careful balance of space and material onboard a vessel. Whether designing timeless interiors for Riviera residences or advising on yacht styling, our expertise aligns with the aesthetic and lifestyle expectations of the world’s most discerning clients.
