Monaco Yacht Show - E.T.Come Home...


Steven Spielberg's yacht, the US$200 million Seven Seas, was on display this year.

She was moored way over the other side of the port near the Harbour Master. After fighting the crowds and heat to get there, I decided to take a boat back across the harbour. There are free shuttles all day to several pontoons around the show. The last photo was taken from the water.

Seven Seas is 86 metres long. She has an infinity pool with a 15-ft. glass wall that can also be used as a movie screen which means Mr. Spielberg can watch a movie and take a dip at the same time. There's also a helipad, a fully equiped gym, a spa, a massage room and an indoor cinema. The yacht accomodates 12 guests and 26 crew.

  1. Steven Spielberg is from Scottsdale, Arizona. I guess growing up in the desert created a love of the water.

    I would expect a yacht with creative features for someone with his money and imagination.

  5. Wished I had stayed longer in the French Riviera this time around to have seen the show. Friends that were working at it said it was great this year. I would've loved to have seen that yacht.
