A Closer Look at the $400 Million Superyacht Streets of Monaco

The country of Monaco has long been an isle of luxury and extreme pleasure. It's a premier destination for vacationers who prefer to take their holidays in grand style, and for the very rich and famous with a penchant for gambling, entertainment, and a hearty nightlife. A fair share of the jet-setting crowd enjoy spending at least a portion of their holidays on the streets of Monaco and one billionaire was so inspired that he ordered the commission of a superyacht to capture the opulence and extravagance of the locale in a recreation that is named for the country in the famed $400 million Streets of Monaco. To fully appreciate the splendor of this floating paradise, we take a closer look at this artistic and expensive rendition.

History of the superyacht Streets of Monaco

In 2015, the Streets of Monaco superyacht was just a concept. When news of its commission was revealed they were assumed to be rumors of wishful thinking, much like a fantasy that seemed unlikely to ever be realized. For a couple of years, there was the talk of a bold concept that would create a replica of many of the most famous landmarks found in the country of Monaco, captured on a large floating vessel, intended for the enjoyment of billionaires fond of locales such as the Hotel de Paris, La Rascasse, the Monte Carlo Casino, Cafe de Paris, Loews Hotel, and others. It was further rumored that the superyacht would cost an astronomical $1.1 billion to construct, but this, was an unsubstantiated rumor because when the ship was finally completed, much to the surprise of yachting enthusiasts who saw it as a pipe dream, the actual cost would be closer to $400 million.

Who's commissioning the Streets of Monaco?

To lend credence to the rumors, we did a fair amount of research and learned that this yacht doesn't actually exist, well, not yet anyway. The Island Design yacht company of the United Kingdom presented the blueprint for the yacht back in 2011. The design team from Island Design remarked that this vessel would be more like a floating city than it would a yacht. The billionaire backing the building of the Streets of Monaco is none other than Russian magnate Roman Abramovich, owner of The Eclipse yacht, according to this article .

The proposed specifications and amenities

Construction of the Streets of Monaco? couldn't confirm one way or another if it has begun but we do have information about the proposed specifications and at least some of the amenities. The ship is designed to be 500 feet in length with a replica of the streets found in Monaco with miniature replications of popular landmarks n Monaco including the Hotel de Paris, tennis courts and swimming pools. The Atrium will link the main living areas together including a network of seven guest suites with individual bedrooms, balconies, dressing rooms, bathrooms, and reception areas. The capacity of the ship will be 70 crew members for daily maintenance and operation and 16 guests. In addition, there will be a tunnel complex extending around the deck for the Monaco Grand Prix go-kart track. The plans also include an area for storing smaller yachts for VIP travel to and from the main ship.

The Streets of Monaco will also feature several casinos on board along with luxury resorts if you can picture this on board a yacht. Jacuzzi bars, a cinema, libraries, helipads, a submarine, underwater restaurants, and waterfalls are also included in the plans. There will also be recreations of a beach-inspired pool, cafe bars, barbecue facilities and interior opulence the likes of which this world has not yet seen, according to LuxeHabitat. There is also slated to be a basketball court, a dance hall, a full spa and hair salon and this is just what is known about the initial plans.

Will the fantasy ever be brought to life?

There has been a lot of speculation over the past eight years about the credibility of this design and as to whether or not it is even feasible. The Island Design company who currently holds the blueprints believe wholeheartedly that it is possible. The only element that is missing is a billionaire that is willing to commission the construction. There have been no concrete announcements about whether or not Abramovich has signed off on the construction, and according to the director of Yacht Island Design, Scott, Poxon, this requirement has yet to be satisfied.

Final thoughts

The Streets of Monaco is a lovely dream which one day may become a reality, but as of now, it's locked away in the minds of the designers in a set of blueprints waiting for someone to step up to the plate with the necessary funding to commission the building of this $400 million dream yacht. One thing is for certain, it would be the biggest and most expensive yacht on the ocean, but it could possibly be considered a floating city, given the amenities and onboard operations which would give it the full functionality of a city floating on the ocean. Resorts, hotels, casinos, restaurants, a Grand Prix in a miniature version, transportation via submarine, helicopter or yacht, and we're assuming that the communications technology would also be quite advanced. It's nice to dream but this is one dream that could possibly become a reality in the near future.

Introducing a new era in luxury yachting, the themed yacht.

Yacht Island Design has been formed by a creative team who are driven by a passion to deliver something different. That difference is themed yachts, the first of which is called The Streets of Monaco superyacht design. The art of producing a themed yacht is to seamlessly weave a story into every element of the design and is achieved via extensive consultation with the client during the initial phases of the design process. This focus allows the creation of a truly unique environment from the overall exterior shape down to the smallest interior detail. Yacht Island Design’s attention to detail is shown in the first proposal, a 155m SWATH vessel that takes the principality of Monaco to the ocean.

155m SWATH ‘The Streets of Monaco’ superyacht by Yacht Island Design Exterior render and zoning diagram

Yacht Island Design has selected the SWATH platform as its prime focus. Not only does this platform offer the best seakeeping ability but the exceptionally wide beam for its length gives the maximum flexibility to achieve best utilisation of space. It also allows for the exploration of bold and daring design ideas without the restrictions of a conventional hull shape. Yacht Island Design are in collaboration with BMT Nigel Gee on several SWATH proposals. As the world’s leading independent provider of naval architecture and engineering to the large yacht industry they bring significant experience in the naval architecture of SWATH vessels.

In order to showcase its capabilities, Yacht Island Design has set about developing several concept proposals. The first of these is ‘The Streets of Monaco’. This is a 155m SWATH yacht built predominantly in steel with the use of aluminium in the upper superstructure. With a maximum speed of 15 knots she transports her 70 crew and 16 guests using diesel electric propulsion. The design theme called for a unique yacht that reflected the style and sophistication of the principality and centres around three main communal areas, ‘The Streets of Monaco’, ‘The Oasis’ and ‘The Grand Atrium’.

‘The Streets of Monaco’ is the focal point of our story and the anchor for the themes that run throughout the yacht, revolving around a recreation of the famous  Monao Grand Prix race circuit. This fully functional kart circuit sets the stage for other famous locations seen on a lap of the principality. The Casino, Hotel de Paris, Cafe de Paris, La Rascasse, and of course the famous Loews hotel and tunnel complex are all featured and house many of the major interior communal spaces. There are four major areas to the external deck space. On the upper deck is ‘Casino Square’ featuring a large glass bottomed fountain situated in a tranquil garden setting. Heading past the Casino you arrive on the roof of the ‘Loews hotel’ which extends to the bow. This area features a small swimming pool, large Spa Pool and expansive sun decks with BBQ facilities. Moving aft we arrive at the main swimming pool which represents the Port Hercule harbour with a maximum depth of 3m incorporating a swim-in Spa Pool/bar. Continuing to the stern we pass into an area focussed on sports. The multi-use court can be configured to a variety of activities including tennis and basketball. Completing this floating city is the Prince’s Palace which as you would expect, houses the owners private apartment in a prime location on the port bow.

`The Oasis’, on the The Streets of Monaco superyacht design located aft, acts as the main boarding point for the yacht, an expansive area modelled on the gardens just outside the  Monaco Casino. On entering the Oasis, attention is immediately drawn to the central waterfall feature consisting of upper level pools cascading down into the lower pool and Spa Pool. Radiating from the pool are numerous shrub lined pathways and secluded seating areas. Large exterior windows surround the entire aft section of the oasis, extending to the full double deck height ceiling allowing natural light to flood the space. Located forward on the lower level is the Spa, with manicure and hair salon, private massage suites, sauna/steam rooms and a large relaxation lounge featuring a spa pool with bar. To either side of the spa entrance are located grand marble staircases and elevator access to the mezzanine, with a cafe bar and magnificent views of the gardens below. Forward of the Cafe Bar are large porthole windows offering unique under water views into the main external swimming pool. Opposite this feature lies access to the fully equipped Gym which boasts uninterrupted views over the ocean. Nestled between the feature portholes and the Gym is an art lined hallway which acts as the entranceway to `The Grand Atrium’.

155m SWATH ‘The Streets of Monaco’ superyacht by Yacht Island Design Owners Apartment - Living Room

`The Grand Atrium’ is the central hub of the yacht, linking the upper and lower living areas. At its centre is a large, ornate spiral staircase which surrounds a waterfall feature that is supplied by the glass bottomed fountain from the garden area above. A small cafe/bar area ensures this feature can be enjoyed while relaxing in comfort. The seven guest suites are located off of the lower atrium level and vary in size, from the more modest 135 m2 suite to the grand 356 m2 VIP suites. All include their own reception room, bathroom, dressing room, bedroom and balcony. The VIP suites have the added luxury of a private office. On the same level and located centrally to the guest suites are the Library, Communal Office, Communal Balcony and Cinema. The upper level of the Atrium leads to the main entertainment areas and the Owners suite. The entertainment areas comprise the Main Saloon with separate Havana room and adjoining wine cellar, the Dining Room, Casino and Dance Hall. At the farthest end of the Atrium lies the Owners Apartment. Connected to all decks via a private lift and spread over 3 floors, it covers a total 1460m2 of floor space. As well as the usual lounge with a feature fire place and double height ceiling, office, bedroom, bathroom, his/hers dressing rooms, the apartment also benefits from a listening room, private courtyard, sunroom, numerous balconies and private sundeck with a Spa Pool/swimming pool.

Other Key features

Two large tender garages to store all manner of launches, offshore power boats, jet skis etc. Dive dock and Submarine, deployed from one of the submerged hulls. Multi configurable sports court sized to championship tennis regulations also doubles as a Heli-Pad. Ample crew quarters including a gym and private sun terrace. Crew can access all areas of the yacht via a network of corridors allowing for maximum guest privacy. Sea level ‘Beach’ decks situated aft in both struts.

What’s next for Yacht Island Design?

Yacht Island Design’s second proposal is an 85m yacht based around a ‘Pacific Island’ theme, a notable departure from the architectural feel of the ‘Monaco’ design with a flowing organic shape and natural themed features. This concept illustration is a small teaser of what is to follow.

A Look at Streets of Monaco, the World's Most Absurd Yacht

The world of megayachts is hardly known for its subtlety, but this proposed floating city makes even Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's 557-foot Eclipse look downright sensible. Modeled after the glamorous Mediterranean city-state of Monaco, the Streets of Monaco features exhaustive replicas of landmarks like the Monte Carlo Casino, the Hotel de Paris, La Rascasse, and even a beach-like swimming pool. Estimated to cost of more than $1B to construct, this floating mini-city is the brainchild of the Yacht Island Design, an as-yet-untested firm fond of attention-grabbing designs that don't make it past the design stage. Still, plenty of thought has gone into this extravagant farce.

? The plans, while well publicized, don't appear to be very exact (above), just vague sections on each deck of the none-too-streamlined ship. That might be because, with the way things are going in yacht design lately, the designs might very well be obsolete before this billion-dollar extravagance is finally constructed.

Yacht Island Design Unveils 'Streets of Monaco' Project

Yacht Island  Design has released plans for a £244 million gargantuan yacht that replicates the streets of Monaco. Christened 'The Streets Of Monaco', the super ship mimics the key landmarks of the wealthy city-state, including the famous Hotel de Paris, Prince's Palace, Loews Hotel, Port Hercule and La Rascasse. It also boasts a go kart race track that replicates the famous Grand Prix track, as well as a helipad, mini submarine, speedboats, jet skis, swimming pools and Jacuzzis.

Rob McPherson, one of the founders of the project, said: 'The theme is based around the Mediterranean principality with the primary focus being the famous grand prix circuit. '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. By sizing the track in this way it has driven the overall dimensions of the yacht and the placement of the famous landmarks.

Mega Yachts: Streets of Monaco

For the super-rich it would combine the delights of Monaco with untrammelled access to the ports of the world – as well as bragging rights as to owning the world’s most expensive personal yacht.

British designers have produced plans for a floating replica of the principality named Streets Of Monaco which features scaled-down versions of its famous landmarks including the Monte Carlo racetrack.

The 500ft-long boat – expected to cost up to £700million – also boasts miniatures of the famed Monte Carlo Casino, Hotel de Paris, Cafe de Paris, La Rascasse, the Loews Hotel as well as swimming pools and tennis courts.

It even has a platform that holds smaller yachts in case prospective owners need something a little nippier to get around in.

The most mind-bending feature is the Monaco Grand Prix-inspired go-kart track complete with tunnel complex which runs around the deck.

The ship is the brainchild of fledgling Derbyshire-based Yacht Island Design.

Company director Rob McPherson said: ‘The design theme called for a unique yacht that reflected the style and sophistication of the principality.

‘We want to create a truly unique environment that could take the principality of Monaco to the ocean.’

But for the designers the centerpiece of the incredible ship is The Atrium, which links the upper and lower living areas.

The Atrium has seven guest suites which all include their own reception room, bathroom, dressing room, bedroom and balcony.

In total, Streets of Monaco’ would be capable of housing 16 guests and 70 crew and would cost the owner tens of millions to run each year.

And the billionaire owner would get the benefit of the main apartment which is spread over three floors, sprawling an amazing 4,800sq ft – the size of a luxury penthouse.

The four-deck yacht will also have BBQ facilities dotted around the deck as well as a mini waterfall and cafe bar with underwater views.

While only at a design stage, The Streets Of Monaco would likely exceed the £665 million price-tag rumored to be paid by Roman Abramovich for his ‘Eclipse’ yacht to become the world’s most expensive personal boat.

At 500ft, The Streets of Monaco is 25ft shorter than the Chelsea owner’s super-yacht but Abramovich would undoubtedly be envious of the Monaco’s fully functional kart circuit.

Now that the design has been completed, the only question remaining for Yacht Island Design is whether they can find a billionaire with enough spare change to turn it into a reality.

Streets of Monaco yacht features urban replica of Monaco

UK-based design company Yacht Island Design has proposed a new innovative superyacht named Streets of Monaco, inspired by a small section of the Principality of Monaco.

The new 155m Streets of Monaco yacht has been designed by Yacht Island Design, in association with UK-based naval architectural firm BMT Nigel Gee. Currently in the design stage, it is conceived as a floating island featuring its own fully functional go kart circuit. The entire design is a unique recreation of a small section of the Principality of Monaco.

The themed yacht comes complete with casino and race track. The four-deck yacht will feature innumerable amenities such as a main swimming pool with swim-in Jacuzzi/bar and the Casino Square in the upper deck; multi-purpose courtyard, which also doubles as a helipad; open sundecks and BBQ facilities aboard the yacht; and other communal areas named ‘The Oasis’ and ‘The Grand Atrium.’

The Oasis, the main boarding point that features a central waterfall, has been designed by seeking inspiration from the gardens outside the Monaco Casino. The lower level of ‘Streets of Monaco’ houses a spa with manicure and hair salon, sauna/steam rooms, a relaxation lounge with a spa pool and a bar, and a gym and café bar with underwater views.

The Grand Atrium is designed to link the upper and lower living areas of the yacht. Seven guest suites, library, communal office, communal balcony and cinema are housed in the lower level atrium. The upper atrium leads to the entertainment area and the owner’s suite. The atrium is also equipped with seven guest suites with their own reception room, bathroom, dressing room, bedroom and balcony.

This £1 billion super yacht has a Grand Prix circuit you can race go-karts on

Published on Aug 31, 2022 at 5:51PM (UTC+4)

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. 

CHECK THIS OUT!

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.

The $1billion luxury yacht: The Streets of Monaco

You can’t put a price on the ineffable elegance of monaco, but you can, it seems, put one on its streets floating out in the ocean on a luxury yacht. .

The $1 billion Streets of Monaco is a concept, luxury yacht by Yacht Island Design  that while not yet complete, will eventually feature a go-kart track, casinos, a replica of the Monaco Grand Prix track, tennis courts, swimming pools and a bar.

The 152-metre luxury yacht, as its name suggests, will be a floating replica of the city of Monaco. The ‘streets’ detail reflects a particular part of the Monte Carlo landscape. Naturally, then, the yacht will also feature the kind of decadence and indulgence that Monte Carlo is prized for.

The luxury yacht will feature helicopter and submarine facilities, a mini waterfall and underwater views for the onboard cafe and bar. The luxury yacht’s stunningly designed centrepiece, the Atrium, will also be the scene of the main living quarters of its lucky billionaire owner, and will spread over three floors and 445 square-metres. Other accommodation on board will include seven guest suites each featuring a reception room, multiple bathrooms and balconies.

In the design firm’s own words, “We like to base our designs upon innovative floating platforms. It frees us to explore bold and daring ideas which challenge the accepted norms within the yachting industry. No longer are we bound by the restrictions of a conventional hull shape. This unleashes creative flair and individualism for our clients as well as us!”

Another centrepiece of the luxury yacht is The Oasis. The primary boarding point for the vessel, this royal space is modelled on the magnificent gardens of the Monaco Casino . With multi-level pools which cascade from one to another, as well as a peaceful Jacuzzi, this section of the ship is punctuated by the (comparably) simple garden seating areas within which you might just need to sit quietly for moment and take it all in.

There is, of course, a lot to take in.

Other levels of the luxury yacht will include a spa, a manicure and hair salon, private massage suites, sauna and steam rooms and a large relaxation lounge featuring a spa pool with bar. These features will be framed by two marble staircases and elevator access leading to a grand mezzanine.

Despite its high costs, the Streets of Monaco is often chartered out for private events and luxury vacations.

It also includes a large indoor cinema, a gym, a spa, and a variety of water sports equipment.

The New Concept in Luxury Yachting: The Themed Yacht

• By Christopher White
• Updated: May 10, 2011

If you think that a Carnival Cruise Lines ship is a floating city, just wait until you see this. The creative team at Yacht Island Design has put forth its first proposal: the Principality of Monaco, a SWATH design will provide the beam and sea keeping ability needed to keep this nautical municipality afloat.

Multiple decks contain pools, spas, waterfalls, tennis courts, a lavish private master suite (located in the Prince’s Palace on the port bow) and accommodations for 16 guests and — brace yourself — 70 crew that the company estimates it will take to keep Monaco cruising along at 15 knots. The focal point of the design is “The Streets of Monaco,” which will feature re-creations of the Monaco Grand Prix race circuit (complete with go-carts for racing), the Hotel de Paris, the Casino, Café de Paris and the Lowes Hotel.

But what if you could pack up that place and take it with you, basically anywhere you wanted to go? That's sort of the idea behind the Streets of Monaco Yacht (Around $1 Billion). This insane invention aims to recreate Europe's most notorious billionaire enclave with scaled down clones of iconic structures like the Monte Carlo Casino, Hotel de Paris, Cafe de Paris, and even the Grand Prix course, functioning as a go-kart course on the deck of this 500-foot watercraft. Other features include multiple swimming pools, a multi-use court for basketball and tennis that doubles as a helipad, a submarine (!), an interior "oasis" area, space for up to 16 guests and 70 staff members, a spa, and, of course, a swim-up jacuzzi bar. All of which begs the question: how big does a yacht have to be before it becomes a city unto itself?

Yacht Island “ Streets of Monaco “

Did you hear about  Yacht Island “ Streets of Monaco “ concept? Keep reading and be amazed!

The world’s first billion-dollar yacht concept “ Streets of Monaco “is actually modeled after the European principality, and it’s called the haven for billionaires. You can see important parts of Monaco right on the board. On the top deck will be replicas of famous Monaco landmarks like Hotel de Paris, the Monte Carlo Casino, Cafe de Paris, Loews Hotel, and La Rascasse,  as well the go-kart circuit based on the Monaco Grand.Awesome right? You don’t have to visit Monaco if you can be here.

Let’s take a tour of this amazing yacht island “ Streets of Monaco “ !

Specification :

-type of vessel : SWATH

-length: 155 m

-naval architect : BMT Nigel Gee

-guests : 16

-speed: 15 knots

-propulsion :diesel electric

The theme of this amazing yacht is based around the Mediterranean principality , being focused on the grand prix circuit. They built a circuit as a fully functional kart. 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.

The Oasis acts as the main boarding point for the yacht , an expensive idea with gradens on the outside of Monaco Casino. When you’ll get in,your attention will be drawn to the central waterfall which continues with a lower pool and the Jacuzzi. Located forward on the lower level is the Spa, with hair and manicure salon, private massage suites, steam or sauna rooms and a large relaxation lounge featuring a spa pool with bar.

Forward of the Cafe Bar are gigant windows offering unique under water views .Opposite this feature lies access to the fully equipped Gym which boasts uninterrupted views over the ocean. Nestled between the feature portholes and the Gym is an art lined hallway which acts as the entranceway to `The Grand Atrium’.

Other extravagant bells include multiple swimming pools,  a court for basketball and tennis, a dance hall,  and enough space to accommodate 16 guests and 70 staff. And don’t forget the submarine and helipad.

We don’t know if this will become real, because first of all they need a client with a wallet full of money . Scott Poxon, the director of Yacht Island Design said that : “There is a notable amount of detail in place. It would need a commission in order to finalize design requirements of the client and to commence the construction.”

If an ultra-rich client indeed commissions his or her own floating replica of Monaco, it may be the most expensive yacht on the water, but it won’t be the biggest. The most expensive yacht goes to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich’s 557-foot ‘Eclipse’ .

The “ Streets of Monaco” is estimated at $1 billion !

We hope you liked our article about this Yacht Island Design called “ Streets of Monaco “ ! Let’s hope it will be real someday !
