The wealthiest of the wealthy’s $4.8 billion boat party in Monaco

The world’s finest yachts (and all the toys to go with them) showed off their glitz last week in Monaco’s Port Hercules for the 29th annual Monaco Yacht Show. From September 25 to 29, 125 superyachts worth a combined $4.3 billion convened in the Mediterranean, with 44 making debuts. Highlights of the event included the 210-foot Attila, the largest ever built by Italian shipyard SanLorenzo, and the Excellence, which won the prize for best exterior design and finest new yacht offering.

When a simple tender won’t do to ferry you to your floating palace, there’s always an AW169 Leonardo helicopter, manufactured by AgustaWestland.

Seabob water sleds, manufactured by Cayago AG, sit on the stern deck of luxury superyacht Bash, manufactured by Azimut Bentti SpA. The high-performance toys cost from $9,000 to over $17,000 and allow users to zoom at up to 13.7mph on the surface of water, and even dive underwater, like James Bond on a mission.
