Superyacht owned by Liverpool FC boss spotted in Scots harbour on tour of Scotland

A superyacht belonging to billionaire Liverpool owner John W Henry was spotted in Scottish waters this weekend during a trip around the country.

The 10-year-old vessel, which is 66-metres-long, was pictured in Aberdeen, after appearing in the harbour on Saturday, August 24 after leaving Leith.

The boat, which was built in 2014, was bought by the Liverpool FC owner, thought to be worth $5billion, in 2016. And it sailed to the Granite City as the owner took in his side's 2-0 Premier League win over Brentford at Anfield.

Aberdeen Live reports there was no sign of the American in Aberdeen, and that the yacht departed on Monday, heading south along the east coast.

Henry first took over the English footballing giants back in 2010 when Fenway Sports Group purchased Liverpool, with the group also owning American baseball outfit Boston Red Sox.

Originally built under the name Ester III and delivered in 2014 by German company Lurssen. On its website, Lurssen states "Elysian features strong lines and an extraordinary deck layout and near-vertical bow.

"Her external profile is unique, distinct and masculine, with a big swimming pool aft, a helicopter landing pad positioned above the wheelhouse and two separate al-fresco outside dining locations.

"Espen Øino International worked closely with the owner to create an individual look. Elysian's interior, by Reymond Langton Design, includes features such as a stunning piece of hand-carved leather artwork that runs the length of the main stairwell."

It also contains "a glass lift that grants access to all levels". The investment management firm boss, 74, also owns the Pittsburgh Penguins ice hockey team and The Boston Globe newspaper, and he is the co-owner of RFK Racing.
