From May 23 to 25, some of the world’s most significant superyachts will line the harbor, one ranked in the YachtBuyer YB100 for her sheer internal volume, offering the ultimate vantage point for one of motorsport’s most iconic events.
Inside the Harbor’s Superyacht Lineup
From May 23 to 25, these motor yachts won’t just offer front-row seats to the hairpin turns and high-speed drama of the street circuit - they’ll host private parties, business deals, and some of the weekend’s most exclusive gatherings. With more than 100 yachts due to attend, the lineup spans a remarkable range of size, age, and design pedigree. Most fall into the 40 to 50-meter category, but the full spread is much wider: the average yacht this year measures 44.4 meters in length, with the largest reaching an imposing 90 meters.
Onboard volumes range from nimble mid-size cruiser yachts to floating mansions, averaging with a gross tonnage of just over 550GT. And while many of the attending yachts are seasoned veterans of the event, recent refits and new builds ensure the fleet looks as current as ever. Even the average age - 14 years - belies the level of technology, styling, and engineering on show.
From bold newcomers to showstopping flagships, here are the standout yachts turning heads at the Monaco Grand Prix this year:
A long-time presence at Monaco and the largest yacht Benetti had ever built at the time, Lionheart exhibits unmistakable scale. Her flowing exterior lines come from Stefano Natucci, while the warm, private-feeling interiors were handled by Green & Mingarelli. There’s a full wellness center with spa and gym, a large beach club, and a helipad for arrivals in style. She accommodates 12 guests across six cabins, supported by a crew of 30. With a beam of 14.4 meters and a gross tonnage of nearly 3,000, Lionheart ranks 93rd on the prestigious YB100 list.
Fresh from a 2024 refit, O’Ptasia won the 'Best Power 65m+' award at the International Superyacht Society Awards. Giorgio Vafiadis handled both the sleek exterior and the serene, Art Deco-inspired interiors. Highlights include a forward helipad, cinema-equipped VIP suite, and a full-beam owner’s apartment on the bridge deck with sweeping 180-degree views.
Guests enjoy a vast beach club with hammam, sauna, and bar, and a bridge-deck gym with wraparound windows. With accommodation for 22 across 10 cabins and a range exceeding 10,000 nautical miles, she’s made for indulgence and distance alike.
O'Ptasia is listed for sale on YachtBuyer and is currently asking €82,500,000.
One of the most advanced yachts at anchor in Port Hercule, Obsidian is a striking 84m Feadship known for its low-profile design and major sustainability milestones. Delivered in 2023, she features a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, a 4.5MWh battery bank, and runs on HVO biofuel to reduce emissions by up to 90 percent. Her seven-stateroom interior includes standout spaces such as an Aqua Lounge with underwater views and a full-beam observation lounge forward. With 2,554 GT of volume, this high-efficiency build marks a major step forward in Feadship’s carbon reduction ambitions.
Newly delivered this year and marking her debut Monaco Grand Prix, the 80m Faith replaces her predecessor (now renamed Sophia) as Lance Stroll’s race-week residence. Designed by RWD with interiors by Chahan, she features a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, CFD-optimized pods for efficient cruising, and a sleek, dark-blue hull. Her 2,450 GT interior is refined and understated, with generous guest spaces across six suites. Though quieter than her predecessor in style, Faith carries the same pedigree—crafted for both private relaxation and high-profile events.
With a calming, blue-accented interior by Laura Sessa and clean Zuccon lines, Mimtee is a study in contemporary elegance. Her owner's suite spans a private deck and includes 180-degree views, twin bathrooms, and its own study. The yacht’s extensive wellness area includes a massage room and spa, while outdoor living is equally well-appointed, with a large sun deck jacuzzi and a spacious beach club.
She accommodates 12 guests and includes space for 10 staff members in addition to her 24 crew. Mimtee is powerful yet composed, cruising comfortably at 14 knots with a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
One of the most iconic yachts ever built, Zeus - formerly Enigma - still turns heads with her futuristic Martin Francis design. Defined by her mirrored convex windows and ultra-sleek profile, this yacht is as much an engineering marvel as she is a design statement. Capable of reaching 32 knots thanks to a gas turbine propulsion system, Zeus was the first superyacht to use a hydrofoil to enhance lift and performance.
On board, she features a panoramic owner’s suite, basketball court, and a glass-walled gym overlooking the aft deck. Now over three decades old, she remains an enduring symbol of innovation.
A Bannenberg classic, Coral Ocean was sensitively refitted in 2022 to retain her heritage while bringing her in line with modern expectations. Her new layout includes an owner’s suite with intelligent glass, a skylight beneath the sun deck Jacuzzi, and floor-to-ceiling retractable windows in the saloon. The Lurssen yacht’s spa, beach club, and al fresco areas are all configured for effortless guest flow. Now run as a high-end charter yacht, Coral Ocean maintains the essence of her 1990s glamour with the comforts of a contemporary build.
Once owned by Flavio Briatore, Force Blue is a rugged explorer yacht wrapped in superyacht luxury. Her latest refit saw the stern extended, a massive spa added, and her interiors reimagined with Carrara marble, mahogany, and signature striped detailing. Designed to host up to 130 guests for events, the yacht includes a cinema, disco-ready aft deck, and expansive wellness center. With an 8,000-mile range and explorer pedigree, Force Blue brings muscle and charm to Monaco’s glittering harbor.
Delivered earlier this year, Lady A is one of the newest launches in attendance. Designed by Giorgio Cassetta, she blends subtle curvature with bold horizontal lines, finished off with a circular sundeck Jacuzzi and private foredeck for the owner.
Inside, curly maple and black Macassar ebony are used to great effect alongside Carrara marble and dark Saint Laurent stone. With accommodation for 14 guests, a large gym, and a 5,000-nautical-mile range, Lady A is both elegant and practical.
Named after the owner’s fondness for Triumph motorcycles - one of which is displayed onboard - this Benetti custom yacht leans into sleek, functional design. A touch-and-go helipad, hybrid veranda-gym, and art-lined interior spaces all point to an owner who values detail and experience.
The 130-square-meter owner’s apartment sits on its own level, with guest accommodation split across the main and lower decks. Contemporary furnishings and a curated art collection give Triumph a modern, almost gallery-like feel.
Designed inside and out by Philippe Starck, Wedge Too is unlike anything else at anchor in Monaco. Her curved exterior lines, minimalist deck layouts, and quirky, opulent interior spaces challenge convention at every turn. A 180-degree master suite with gold leaf details, dramatic saloons, and Starck-designed furniture throughout make this yacht a design lover’s dream. Still for sale, she offers a rare opportunity to own one of Feadship’s most distinctive yachts.
Wedge Too is listed for sale on YachtBuyer and is currently asking €49,500,000.
A Grand Stage for Grand Designs
