Select Language Chinese Arabic French German Italian Japanese Korean Portuguese Russian Spanish English

Monaco Yacht Show 08, which raises its curtain today, has lots to offer when it comes to fine luxury! You will get to see all sizes of high end luxury yachts and different makes such as Ferretti, Azimut, Benetti, Princess etc on display. And to add a spark to the Yacht Show, the visitors will get to see a sketch of megayacht-inspired versions of the Range Rover sport-utility vehicle.


So if you are buying a $60 Million 270ft luxury mega-yacht at the Monaco Yacht Show this month the next thing you probably would want is a Range Rover to go with it. So if that's the case consider yourself lucky! Edmiston the global yacht brokerage and sales company have come up with a program to have yacht designers create megayacht-inspired versions of the Range Rover sport-utility vehicle. The Range Rovers are pimped up to go with the multi million $ yachts.


Andrew Winch, Martin Francis, Terence Disdale, Ken Freivokh, Dickie Bannenberg, Tim Heywood and Redman Whitely Dixon are the Seven leading yacht designers who submitted their designs. The sketches will be on display at the Monaco Yacht Show and a winner will be chosen tomorrow, 25th of September. Customers can order an actual model, for a mere €200,000 to €800,000, or nearly $300,000 to $1.2 million! If that sounds expensive, Edmiston comments that its nothing when compared to a typical mega-yacht tender.


Amongst the design submitted, the design by Disdale and Bannenberg are the most interesting ones. Mr. Disdale created a convertible to become what he calls the “St. Tropez Al Fresco tender”. The luggage compartment is tucked beneath a teak cover and has large white waterproof seats.


The Bannenberg model has an entire rear deck, complete with a sun tent, custom-molded chaise lounge and champagne holders! Its unbelievable that a Range Rover can be modified to such an extent. Lets wait and see which designer is crowned as the winner for the ultimate Range Rover Tender!
