Le port Vauban est notamment connu pour son « quai des milliardaires » où sont fréquemment amarrés les plus beaux yachts du monde2, dont le Phocéa de Mouna Ayoub, le Lady Moura de Nasser Al-Rashid, l'Aquarama III de Roman Kopine, Octopus de Paul Allen, cofondateur de Microsoft, Kingdom 5KR, du prince saoudien Al Walid Ben Talal, le Pelorus de David Geffen, l'Indian Empress, dont le propriétaire Vijay Mallya possède aussi la seule propriété privée de l'Île Sainte-Marguerite, Le Grand Jardin.
