A £66 million yacht belonging to the owner of Liverpool FC has docked in Aberdeen.
Elysian, a 66-metre-long vessel owned by John W Henry – majority shareholder for the Anfield club – appeared at Aberdeen Harbour on Saturday.
The vessel, which sails under the Cayman Islands flag, had departed from Leith in Edinburgh earlier in the day.
It is not known how long the yacht will stay in Aberdeen.
It comes after one of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s yachts docked in Aberdeen earlier this year.
Elysian was built in Germany by Bremen-based company Lurssen Yachts.
Previously named Ester III, the luxury yacht was owned by Russian entrepreneur Georgy Bedzhamov.
However, Henry acquired it in 2016.
Superyacht has swimming pool, gym and helipad
Elysian ranks among the top five per cent of the world’s largest yachts, according to Boat International.
The superyacht has an outdoor swimming pool, a spa centre, a gym and a helipad among its features.
Mr Henry’s gem can accommodate up to 12 guests in six staterooms, and 17 crew members in separate quarters.
Who is Elysian superyacht owner John W Henry?
Henry is the founder of investment management firm John W Henry & Company.
The 74-year-old has been Liverpool FC’s majority shareholder since 2010, when Fenway Sports Group took over the club.
He’s also the principal owner of baseball club Boston Red Sox, hockey team Pittsburgh Penguins and American daily newspaper The Boston Globe.
According to Forbes, he has an estimated net worth of £3.86 billion.
