The 134 metre superyacht Serene in Auckland

The 134 metre superyacht Serene was recently spotted in Auckland, New Zealand. Her arrival in Princess Wharf last week was looked on at by groups of spectators, and she is believed to be the largest boat ever to visit the country. The vessel is owned by a Russian vodka magnate, who is reportedly cruising in the area over the next several weeks.
