We don't mind Chinese or Russian vessels but a YACHT! Oh my. What is it doing here? Why are you here?

Mystery solved. You may have seen this superyacht off the coast of Waikiki.

Anne Abaya snapped a photo and asked Hawaii News Now to find out more.

We confirmed the nearly 400-foot-long vessel is called the LIVA°.

Since last week, it’s been berthed at Pier 9, then Pier 2, and right now, it’s parked in front of Aloha Tower.

Reports say it’s owned by German-born, U.S. citizen billionaire Stephen Orenstein, who lives in Dubai.

He bought it for about $250 million and spends about $25 million a year to operate it.

No word on why the ship is here, or where it’s headed next.

If you're ever curious about a vessel you can do a search for AIS details.  https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-157.928/centery:21.349/zoom:14

kamala is coming after your money, Stephen.

She's gonna use it to spread the JOY.

You might have to downgrade to a 13' Boston Whaler. ;D
