megayachts
Billionaires' seafaring palaces
Megayachts are exceptionally large private yachts, typically over 100 feet in length, equipped with luxury amenities like helipads, swimming pools, and full-time crews.
The term connotes extreme wealth—these vessels cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to build and millions annually to maintain.
The harbor was lined with megayachts during the film festival.
