The 'King of Bling' has arrived! Russian tycoon moors his incredible £225million bombproof superyacht on the Thames. Tens of thousands of ships have passed through Tower Bridge since it first opened more than 120 years ago, but few would have caught the eye as much as this extraordinary £225million bombproof superyacht. The distinctive white ‘Motor Yacht A’- owned by Russian tycoon Andrey Melnichenko, who is known as the ‘King of Bling’ - was spotted sailing up the River Thames in London on a wet and windy Saturday afternoon. The 390ft vessel, which is one of the world’s 25 largest superyachts, features three swimming pools, including one with a glass floor, luxurious cabins and an unconventional design described as an upside down hull. And the boat, which launched eight years ago and was reported in April to have gone on the market, was photographed mooring alongside D-Day bombardment vessel HMS Belfast having sailed up the Thames. Three spa pools with current-generating technology are spread throughout the yacht, and one has a glass floor that passengers can look into from the lower deck, according to the Yacht Harbour database. There are seven luxurious cabins for up to 14 guests and accommodation for 42 crew members. Over the years it has been spotted in places such as Honolulu, Malibu, Monaco, Puerto Rico, Turkey and Thailand. Powered by two diesel engines, the yacht has a top speed of 23 knots (26.4mph) and a cruising speed of 19.5 knots (22.4mph), with a range of 6,500 nautical miles.
