A $360 million, 400-foot-long Kismet superyacht shocked everyone on the River Thames in London.
Shahid Khan, who currently owns the Jacksonville Jaguars football club in the US and Fulham F.C. in the UK, arrived in London in his 400-foot-long (121 meters) luxury superyacht.
The Thames is always brimming with tourist boats and everyday vessels like dishing and ferry transports, but not superyacht.
You can tell this is an unusual sight, because the yacht looks so big you think it might end up touching both banks of the river at the same time.

A 400-foot Kismet superyacht against the backdrop of London
Shahid Khan took delivery of his Kismet superyacht earlier this year, and he’s not chartering it, he’s actually using it.
Before docking in London, the yacht was reportedly spotted in Guernsey, Channel Islands, and later in Tilbury, United Kingdom.
Interestingly, there’s actually another Kismet yacht, and this one is indeed available.
It can be chartered from charter firm Cecil Wright & Partners for $3.3 million per week.
One of the largest yachts in the world
Commissioned by Lürssen Yachts, the vessel is a like a small city for the sea.
The yacht is massive, but designers chose to only make room for 15 VIPs, so you can imagine how much space will be devoted to each individual guest.
The attention to detail is incredible, but then again, you’d expect from a yacht that cost more than a private jet.
Lürssen, the shipyard that built it, also shared a timeline clip of the yacht being built from scratch.
It’s also fascinating to see how the yacht somehow looked smaller inside the yard where it was being built than it does as she sails along one of the world’s most important rivers.
