£700 million yacht would be a floating Monaco resort
The 500ft long Streets of Monaco yacht is expected to cost £700million and features scaled-down versions of the state’s famous landmarks, including the Monte Carlo Casino and racetrack. It boasts a Hotel de Paris, Cafe de Paris, La Rascasse, the Loews Hotel and swimming pools and tennis courts. And those hoping for thrills can rest easy, with a Monaco Grand Prix-inspired go-kart track zooming through a tunnel complex running around the deck.
The super-ship is the brainchild of Derbyshire-based Yacht Island Design and if built would transform the boat industry. Company director Rob McPherson said: “It is basically a floating city. "We wanted to show our capabilities and grab people’s attention - I hope it’s worked. "The car circuit was the thing that sparked the whole thing off. The Monaco idea came from that.
