A jaw-dropping $150 million superyacht made headlines at the Monaco Grand Prix as it docked at Port Hercule, stealing the show among the ultra-luxury vessels. Owned by Louis Vuitton boss and F1 partner Bernard Arnault, the Symphony superyacht is a sight to behold.
Breaking records as the first Feadship vessel over 100 meters, the Symphony stretches an impressive 333 feet (101 meters). Crafted in 2015 by Dutch shipyard Feadship, this masterpiece boasts exterior design by the renowned Tim Heywood. With six decks, the yacht can host up to 20 guests in eight lavish cabins.
Internally, the Symphony is a marvel designed by Zuretti Interior Design, featuring light wood panels, elegant furniture, and touches of gold. Among its luxurious amenities are a glass-bottomed swimming pool with a waterfall edge, outdoor and indoor cinemas, a private owner’s deck with sauna and jacuzzi terrace, a wellness center, beach club, and even a pop-up golf tee with biodegradable balls.
Powered by MTU engines, the Symphony can cruise at a top speed of 21 knots, making a grand entrance as it arrived in Monaco for the Grand Prix weekend.
Adding to the glamour in Port Hercule is the Sarastar superyacht, which turned heads with a rare McLaren Solus GT hypercar parked on its deck, captivating racing enthusiasts.
Louis Vuitton’s recent partnership with Formula 1 has stirred excitement in the racing world. As the title sponsor of the Australian Grand Prix since 2025, Louis Vuitton, under the LVMH umbrella, solidified its position within the sport. The partnership includes presenting F1 trophies in the brand’s iconic trunks, showcasing a blend of luxury and innovation.
F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the shared passion for excellence and creativity between Louis Vuitton and Formula 1. The unveiling of the trophy trunk for the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix added a touch of elegance to the prestigious event.
The fusion of luxury, craftsmanship, and high-end competition sets the stage for an unforgettable partnership between Louis Vuitton and Formula 1, promising a year of excitement and innovation for fans and enthusiasts alike.
