MONACO, Monaco, May 26 (UPI) -- Police in Monaco have shut down a floating brothel for Formula 1 Grand Prix spectators who paid as much as $500 per hour for racier diversions.

While the 120-foot yacht in Monaco harbor offered good views of the street racetrack, police said the bevy of Eastern European prostitutes and porn stars aboard likely didn't leave much time for watching the race.

Some patrons paid as much as $35,000 for a 24-hour stay aboard the yacht, whose services were advertised on the Internet in the run-up to last weekend's race, The Mirror reported Thursday.

"We found around 25 working prostitutes and various clients," police said in a statement.

Three men were charged with aggravated pimping, the women and their clients were given cautions, and the yacht was impounded.
