Think of Monaco and you think of wealth and flashy, ostentatious, 24-carat millionaires. The annual yacht show at the Port d'Hercule is the perfect way to draw those rich folks out of the casinos and into the harbour!
Over 250 companies are set to display their wares to over 15,000 visitors. As well as admiring the boats' aerodynamic curves from the exterior, visitors will be able to climb aboard and sample life on one of these luxury, leather-upholstered pleasure-cruisers. If you're lucky enough to be able to afford a yacht, you'll also be able to choose from no end of accessories and finishes to turn your gin palace into the epitome of floating good taste.
