  • More than $3.5 billion worth of yachts are on display, with an average length of 168 feet.
  • Here's a look at the 12 largest superyachts at the Monaco Yacht Show.

The Monaco Yacht Show, often dubbed yachting's most prestigious event, kicked off on September 26.

On display in the glittering Port Hercules are 121 superyachts, collectively worth $3.5 billion. Individually, the average value of each superyacht is around $31 million.

Of these superyachts, 42 are making their worldwide debut and 45% are less than two years old. But equally as impressive as their worth and age is their size - the average length of superyachts on display is around 168 feet, an increase from last year's Monaco Yacht Show. The average volume has also increased by nearly 15%.

But that's nothing compared to the show's superstars - the giant superyachts that cast that average into the shadows. The biggest yacht, Aquarius, is 312 feet, while the biggest debut, Dar, comes in at 295 feet.

We rounded up the 12 largest superyachts on display at the Monaco Yacht Show, which are all more than 230 feet. Here's what that looks like.

12. Axioma

Length: 236 feet

Owned by Russian billionaire Dmitry Pumpyansky, motor yacht Axioma features an infinity swimming pool, Jacuzzi, gym, massage room, and steam room — perfect for a little self care. Her charter rates range from $700,722 to $747,829 a week.

11. Solo

Length: 236 feet

Motor yacht Solo is making her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show. Not only does she look beautiful, she's also silent and efficient, promising a smooth ride. Onboard is a winter garden, nearly 20-foot swimming pool, and a superyacht beach club with a hammam, or Turkish bath.

8. Boadicea

Length: 251 feet

Motor yacht Boadicea is up for sale for $62,371,000 and has chartered for approximately $617,800 in the past. On board, there's a steam bath, cinema room, and master suite that features a 180-degree panoramic view.

7. GO

Length: 252 feet

Motor yacht GO is builder Turquoise Yacht's largest yacht to date. She boasts a sleek profile and a central tender garage that can accommodate a limo tender and a multipurpose tender. She also features a grand central staircase.

3. Dar

Length: 295 feet

Motor yacht Dar is completely finished in reflective glass, perfect for panoramic views from the interior. She has a helipad, swimming pool, beach club, and bathing platform and can accommodate more than 40 people on board at one time.

2. Aquarius

Length: 301 feet

Motor yacht Aquarius, owned by Steve Wynn, has a massage room, helipad, beauty salon, swimming pool, beach club, and media room. She can accommodate up to 14 guests in seven cabins, including a master suite and six VIP staterooms.

1. Kismet

Length: 312 feet

While the current sale price for motor yacht Kismet is only available upon application, she's the largest yacht at the Monaco Yacht Show — and with a weekly charter rate of around $1.29 million, we can only fathom a high listing price. Billionaire Shahid Khan, owner of Fulham football club and the Jacksonville Jaguars, currently owns her, and she's been chartered by Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
