Yes, at the moment it's just a concept and no, you won't be able to take it for a holiday on the Norfolk Broads even if it does ever get built, but this super-yacht/floating island is still audaciously fabulous.
The concept, called The Streets of Monaco, has been designed by Island Yacht Design, based in Derbyshire (yes, we know, not a county renowned for its beautiful coastline and exclusive marinas) and is a Monte Carlo-themed mega-yacht at the centrepiece of which is a fully operational kart track-sized recreation of the famous street circuit.
At 155 metres long, this astonishing piece of maritime madness is about three-quarters the length of the recently decommissioned HMS
Whether it ever gets built or not of course remains to be seen. All we know is that it would really confuse Jonathan Legard if it turned up at the real Monaco during GP weekend...
You can read more about the Streets of Monaco and its excessive opulence (including the 'beach decks', garden and tennis court/helipad) at the Super Yacht Design website.
 At least it looks a bit like a boat from here... |
