Mercedes-Benz is known for its luxurious cars, but the company is also behind one of the most anticipated yachts being shown off this year at the Monaco Yacht Show.
On Wednesday, the German automaker debuted Edition 1 of its Arrow460-Grandturismo yacht, a sleek-looking vessel that begins pricing at about $1.7 million. The company originally showed off its yacht concept in 2012, but later worked with the yacht building company Silver Arrows Marine to turn the concept into a reality.
The two companies plan to only build 10 Edition 1 models of the yachts and aim to only sell one in each country, making the yacht incredibly rare.
Here's a closer look at some of the other features that make the vessel so special.

The 46-foot yacht may be on the smaller side, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in design.
From the side, the stylish yacht resembles a saloon style car, similar to Mercedes Model S-Class.
