A £25 million party boat which is set to sail up and down the River Thames with as many as 1,500 passengers is facing opposition from locals concerned about events on it going on into the early hours every night of the week.

Luxury superyacht Oceandiva is set to host high-end conferences and soirées from Spring next year, and promises to be a 'revolutionary' net-zero events space.

Owners Oceandiva London have submitted a planning application to operate the vessel Monday to Sunday between 11am and 2.30am the next day.

Looks more like a stealth barge packed with missiles than a "yacht". I wonder what the last beautiful thing the West built? I would vote for Art Deco with Rockefeller Plaza.

I thought that ship had a familiar shape. It looks like a mutated Kriegsmarine Schnellboot (S-boat).

[Blennos]

That is certainly one ugly boat.

Now, THIS is the yacht Emilio Largo SHOULD have had. The Disco Valente was way to pussy.

Comment of the day!!! I suppose enough class was still around in the 60s to make the “Death Yacht” unacceptable.

It does look more like a luxury barge than a yatch.

Isn’t that Putin’s confiscated yacht?

Any shore batteries left from WW2?

[PGR88]

Being stuck on a yacht with 1500 social-climbers and drunk arseholes sounds like one of Dante’s levels of hell

London is drowning
And I, I live by the river

Is that GIF from a Japanese amime?

Dear Sir or Madam,

This is why people hate the rich.

“Is that GIF from a Japanese amime?”

I don’t know. I found it when I googled “cannon firing gif” or something similar to that. Looks pretty realistic.
