One of the world's largest superyachts is on its way to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup.
The Mayan Queen IV, a 92m monster owned by Mexican billionaire Alberto Bailleres, is one of dozens of multimillion dollar yachts that will be lending the glam factor to Auckland marinas.

industry sources are reluctant to release the names of visiting yachts, but one industry insider named half a dozen glamorous vessels on their way to Auckland.
They include the 34m Ophelia, which features a large spa, two large support boats and room for a helicopter; the 47m Ocean Victory; the Spanish yachts Alarife and Ammonite; and the 31m, nine-bed Espiritu Santo.
But the Mayan Queen IV outshines them all, in size and specifications. The five-deck launch can sleep 16 guests and 24 crew, and has an outside bar, spa, sunbathing spaces and smaller pleasure boats available to use.
