superyachts

Floating palace vessels

Superyachts are exceptionally large, luxurious private vessels, typically over 24 meters (about 80 feet) in length.

They feature amenities like helipads, pools, and full crews, serving as floating mansions for the ultra-wealthy.

The term often appears in discussions of extreme wealth and its excesses: Billionaires parked their superyachts in Monaco.
