A sleek £334million superyacht has turned heads on Britain's south coast as it made its way to its secretive new Chinese billionaire owner.
German-built Deep Blue is a 439ft, 9000 tonne, five-deck superyacht equipped with a helipad and two swimming pools.
The vessel, launched in June of last year, was a highly secretive build by luxury shipbuilders Lürssen.
It set sail from Lemweder port in Germany last week before stopping in Poole Harbour, Dorset, on Friday on its way to its new owner.
Although ownership of the superyacht is yet to be publicly confirmed, it has been widely linked to Richard Qiangdong Liu by industry sources.
Mr Lui is the founder of a major Chinese retailer JD.com and is estimated to be worth $6billion.
Construction of Deep Blue began in 2021, with her hull constructed and launched on a floating dock in July 2023, followed by the joining of her bow to rest of the vessel.
The ship - which is said to cost £34million annually to run - can comfortably host 24 guests and carry a crew of at least 45.

And it boasts all the comforts expected of a luxury vessel. On board, there is a spa, gym and beauty room, private cinema room, bar, jacuzzi and infinity pool.
Extensive glass windows wrap around each level of the ship, which is structured in a unique tiered design.
Deep Blue is only one of many luxury ships manufactured by Lürssen for the ultra-rich.
It previously built the Al Said luxury yacht for the Sultan of Oman and Rising Sun for Oracle CEO Sam Ellison.
