Sure, living on a yacht all year, despite it being loaded with all the amenities you’d expect to find on a luxurious private island, is less than ideal, but these three examples will definitely get you inspired. Continue reading to see them all.

 

3. Gigayacht

The 325-foot Gigayacht “can be oufitted, with pools, tennis courts, mini soccer fields, or the garden you see above.” Unfortunately, pricing is set to start in the $10+ million range. While “Paul Allen’s Octopus is bigger at 410 feet, [this has] room for 40 crew, 24 guests, a helipad, and two 45-foot speedboats that deploy out the back.”

2. Yacht Island

Called Yacht Island, this giant yacht is the first ever to include its very own volcano. Plus, “the main deck is a beach “cove” of cabanas surrounding a massive ocean view swimming pool, with a waterfall falling nearby from the volcano.” That’s not all, “there’s also a helicopter landing pad so those friends can drop in.”

1. Streets of Monaco

At $1.1-billion, the Streets of Monaco yacht should probably be called a private island instead. It features “smaller versions of the state’s famous landmarks such as the Hotel de Paris and Monte Carlo Casino and racetrack — swimming pools, tennis courts, a cinema, and go kart track will also provide an endless amount of entertainment.”
