Since it began in 1991, the annual spectacle of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) staged in the principality’s storied Port Hercule has been synonymous with wealth, extravagance and a display of gargantuan boats. This year is no exception, with around 118 gleaming superyachts and megayachts showcasing some of the finest (and largest) luxury objects money can buy.
