The biggest superyacht to visit New Zealand slipped into port yesterday morning - but had to berth at Auckland's Wynyard Wharf because it was too big for the dedicated big boat marina.
The arrival of the 134m, $423 million Serene was watched by a sprinkling of onlookers who were taking
pictures of the towering craft at the end of the Tank Farm wharf.
"I haven't seen anything like it," said Gavin Bakewell who builds an early morning walk of the waterfront into his day.
"I guess this is how the 1 per cent live."
Roger McElroy picked it as a Russian-owned boat.
