Each September since 1990, a mix of 98 of the world's opulent, most extravagant, elegant and ostentatious vessels squeeze into Monaco's exclusive harbor.
The event has become a showcase for the industry, where the very best of yacht design and construction can challenge simply the biggest.
As the industry has come of age, mixing traditional styles with modern technologies has provided the ultimate of Yacht performance.
Last month, an estimated $ 4.5 Billion of Yachts, none under 100 ft were on display at the Monaco Yacht Show.
All attention were focused on $200 Million Anastasia, a 248 ft dark blue and white enigma, recently completed by leading Dutch shipyard Oceanco.
The Anastasia features six decks, accommodating 12 passengers and 20 crew members. It includes a duplex master suite, a ten seat media room, a discotheque with a laser light display and smoke machine, an artificial coral reef and 800-gallon fish tank, a swimming pool with a transparent wall, a sunbathing platform which converts into an open -air concert stage, a library upholstered in crocodile skin, and a number of speedboats and jetskis.
Of course, those superyachts are highly in demand because of the scarcity value.
People who want one and do not want to wait several years to have one built may pay the price.
You may also rent out a good Yacht 20 times over the high season.
The cost is between $ 100,000 to $ 1.2 Million a week.
It seems that people with $ 175 Million to spend on a yacht tend to be above the credit crunch.
