Streets of Monaco Project.


A LAVISH new yacht recreating the billionaire's playground of Monaco is set to become the world's most expensive.

The staggering 155m Streets of Monaco yacht is expected to cost over $1.1 billion to build and is modelled on a section of Monte Carlo.

Currently in the design stage, the super-ship will feature smaller versions of the state’s famous landmarks such as the Monte Carlo Casino and racetrack, as well as swimming pools, tennis courts, a cinema, a go kart track and a Hotel de Paris.

Instead of traditional decks the one-of-a-kind ship will have buildings, and instead of a swimming platform it will have a beach.

Travellers will also spot waterfalls, a swim-in Jacuzzi-bar, helicopters and submarines on board.

The one-of a kind ship could be home to 16 guests and 70 crew with the main apartment spread over three floors and 445 sq m.

And what happens when it hits a storm? That thing just does not look like anything Id want to be anywhere near in 15' seas and a 40 knt. wind.

Looks pretty stable.  Over 500ft long and maybe almost 200 wide?  With what appears to be a multi-hull configuration for a broad stance.

Also looks like it comes with it's own Navy and part of an Air Force.

16 guests and 70 crew?  At that ratio, it would provide jobs for everyone if there were enough of them.

Looks like the go-kart track might mimic the F1 race on "The Streets of Monaco"  Sounds cool to me...though not in that storm.

I imagine it will spend most of it's time in the Aegean or some other paradise.
