Plans for Floating Replica of ‘Streets of Monaco’ Super Yacht

British designers have produced plans for a floating replica of the principality named Streets Of Monaco super yacht. The staggering 155m yacht is expected to cost over $1.1 billion to build and is modeled on scaled-down versions of its famous landmarks. Currently in the design stage, the super-ship will feature smaller versions of the state’s famous landmarks such as the Monte Carlo Casino and racetrack, as well as swimming pools, tennis courts, a cinema, a go kart track and a Hotel de Paris. “It is basically a floating city,” company director Rob McPherson said. The most ordinary feature is the Monaco Grand Prix-inspired go-kart track which runs around the deck. In entirety, Streets of Monaco’ would be capable of housing 16 guests and 70 crew and would cost the owner tens of millions to run each year. The only question remaining for Yacht Island Design is whether they can find a billionaire with enough spare change to turn it into a reality.

Observe The Benefits of Flying On board a Private Jet

Chartering an aircraft for your transportation and business needs definitely adds value to your time. There are serveral benefits accompanied with choosing a private jet rather than opting for commercial airline services. A few of those benefits include a flight itinerary suited to your schedule rather than an airlines needs, and the ability to fly into an airport closer to your destination. With a commercial airline you’re very limited on airport choices. You can also expect luxurious travel conditions on board a private aircraft. You won’t be sharing your cabin space with a crying baby or obnoxious passenger assigned next to you, which makes traveling much more enjoyable. On board, you’ll have privacy and amenities to relax or finish up a business meeting.
Cessna Aircraft Company explains it best in this short video displaying a side-by-side perspective of two businessmen with the same destination. One of the men are assigned to a commercial flight and the other a private charter. Observe for yourself the benefits of flying private.
