What it's like to spend the night on a UK superyacht without needing millions in the bank | The Sun

WHAT if I told you you could spend the night on a superyacht without having millions in the bank?
Just a few steps from The Expo in London is the Sunborn Yacht Hotel – the only superyacht in the UK you can spend the night.
I was lucky enough to spend the night on the yacht, which also has a similar one in Gibraltar with plans to open another in London next year.
The five-star hotel is docked at Royal Victoria Dock, so don't worry if you get seasick either as you won't even feel it moving.
This includes 138 rooms and suites as well as a restaurant, bar, outdoor terrace and event space – a lot to fit into the 142m boat.
As I arrived, I was whisked up a tiny lift from outside, and was plonked into the middle of a huge grand lobby, with spiral staircase and very outlandish glass chandelier.

Feeling just as glam as a cruise ship, I was shown to my room down the narrow corridor, but opened up into my suite with some of the most stunning views across the river.
The huge glass doors led out onto the balcony, and was a surprisingly peaceful area despite being next to the busy London conference centre.
But the star of the yacht is its restaurant Land's End.
I was certainly underdressed – one guest came in a floor-length sequin dress, compared to my trousers-and-shirt combo – although there is no dress code and the staff didn't even seem to notice.
