197 vessels gathered in Port Hercule and along the French Riviera for Sunday's race.

Among the largest was the 120-metre Kismet, one of the most expensive yachts available for charter, alongside the 112-metre Renaissance and the 101.5-metre Symphony, owned by LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault.

The fleet transformed Monaco's harbour into a floating luxury venue, with owners, guests and celebrities using the yachts as exclusive viewing platforms for Formula One's most prestigious race.

Water taxis operated throughout the weekend, ferrying visitors between the vessels, the circuit and a series of high-profile private parties.

The spectacular gathering provided a fitting backdrop to the 83rd Monaco Grand Prix, which was won by Kimi Antonelli for Mercedes.
