The impressive vessel sat beside the Britannia as Scots flocked to admire it's massive size.

Snaps of the three tier yacht show off the impressive size.

The outside of the vessel is a dark grey colour with some silver on the top.

From the back, the boat has a hot tub which lies on the top deck - perfect for taking in gorgeous views.

On the deck below, stunning floor to ceiling windows which will help bring in natural light.

The room is complete with a sofa, a great spot to relax and watch the waves on board.

The superyacht even has its very own submarine.

It comes as Shinkai, which is Japanese for Deep Sea, embarks on its first mission to travel the world.

It is thought to be the first of what will be a lifetime of journeys of global exploration.

And according to ship builder Feadship, the owner of this monster boat has an "enormous" amount of experience of "discovering the world by sea".

The teams at Vitruvius and Feadship developed the massive explorer alongside designer Philippe Briand.

They built it to be able to travel the world whilst remaining self-sufficient and fuel-efficient.

It comes it's own striking mast which catches the eye of onlookers.

It also has its very own 7.2 tonne submarine, which comes with a huge crane which is used for launching and collecting it.

There are already many adventures lined up for the massive vessel in the coming years.

Some of these include taking on the North-West passage.
