This is the floating city of Monaco, a £1 billion super yacht.
Called the ‘Streets of Monaco’, it’s a replica of everything Monaco is famous for including the Grand Prix track, casino, helipads and even a tennis court.

The brainchild of Yacht Island Design, the vessel is planned around its replica of the famous Grand Prix circuit.
The track, which is built on the deck of the yacht, isn’t just for looks either.
Guests will be able to race each other in go-karts around it.

At the centre of the yacht is The Oasis.
It’s a two-story level foyer replicating the gardens outside the famous Monaco Casino.
Designs show the yacht with jacuzzis and multiple pools, some of which actually cascade from one to another.
Guests will never be bored either because the Streets of Monaco has pretty much everything you can find in the actual city.
It has a tennis court, spas, gym, nail salon, hairdresser, sauna, and private massage suits.
It also has a cinema and library for guests who want a bit of downtime during their trip.
A Yacht Island Design spokesperson said the famous Grand Prix circuit was at the heart of the design.
“The idea was to recreate the circuit as a fully functional kart track, able to accommodate three karts side by side to allow for plenty of overtaking,” they said.
“By sizing the track in this way it has driven the overall dimensions of the yacht and the placement of the famous landmarks.
“The Monaco story extends beyond this exterior architecture and into the interior spaces giving a seamless transition as guests move between the various areas of the yacht.”
While these images show some early concept designs and artist impressions, the company is working towards making the Streets of Monaco a reality.
And if it does, it will undoubtedly be one of the most unique super yachts the world has ever seen.
