Superyachts are not only luxurious floating homes but also symbols of status and success. No wonder their owners usually park them at the most prestigious marinas all over the world. This is where they get a high level of prestige and service, and also impressive panoramic views, well-developed infrastructure, and different entertainments. Moreover, staying at these marinas helps billionaires communicate with like-minded people and show their wealth and impeccable taste. Let’s see where these places are located.
