“Ultra High Net Worth Individuals” will flock to Monaco Yacht Show

From 26-29 September 2018, “Ultra High Net Worth Individuals” and superyacht lovers from around the world will flock to the Principality of Monaco to attend the Monaco Yacht Show.
The most magnificent annual exhibition of superyachts will display 120 giant vessels in Port Hercule of Monaco.
At one time an indicator of cost was a rule of thumb US$5 million per metre of length, of course it’s just a rule of thumb in actual fact there is not really an upper limit with some of the giants reputed to have original build costs of more than US$400 million. To build is one thing to own is another, running costs are eye-watering, what with highly skilled and dedicated crews that number in some cases 20 and more per yacht, then there are the essential ‘toys’. Submarines and dive stations, helicopters and seaplanes as well as custom-built tenders. Tenders are those are the smaller boats that carry owners and guests from shore to ship and back again, some can cost upwards of US$3 million each, I dare say more than a pretty luxurious Spanish villa with or without a private pool.
The superyacht KISMET is expected to be one of the 120 going to the 28th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show and at 95.2 meters length overall will be the largest superyacht on show this year. A Lurssen Yachts shipyard of Germany custom build and launched in 2014 the yacht’s interior was designed by Robert Langton Design with the exterior by Espen Oeino. KISMET is without question the epitome of luxury.

Crucially stops all the toys cluttering up the deck of your principal yacht.
