When you think yacht, one would imagine a floating palace featuring a swimming pool, jacuzzi, cinema room, luxurious suites and maybe even a dance floor. But when money is no object, they can be built with cutting-edge technology and customised finishes that can transform this luxury toy into a superyacht. Here are some of the world’s most expensive yachts, according to luxury brokerage company Luxury Property.com.
1. Dubai – $350 million
The Dubai is what yacht dreams are made of—a jacuzzi, helipad and a large dining room that can house 90 guests. Its swimming pool, made with handmade tiles, can hold around 115 people. But it doesn’t stop there. There are plenty of activities to enjoy onboard. It features a squash court, cinema room and disco hall. If that is not impressive enough, it also comes with a submarine. Her current owner is the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The Streets of Monaco is a fitting name for this superyacht. While it is still yet to be completed, the finished product will be more like a mini version of Monaco than a yacht.
