It's not every day you see a £70m super yacht sailing up the river.
But Shahid Khan's 95.2 metre long super yacht made an appearance on the Thames at Denton Wharf, Gravesend.
The yacht, which was built in 2014 is managed by the Moran Yacht and Ship chartering business, is associated with the billionaire owner of Fulham Football Club.
It has been fitted and finished in a luxurious style specified to be better than a five star hotel and includes a deck of black marble and a large bath made of solid onyx.
It is owned by Pakistani-American billionaire businessman and philanthropist Khan, who also owns the Jacksonville Jaguars who play in the National Football League (NFL).
Khan, 68, is also the owner of the automotive parts manufacturer Flex-N-Gate in Urbana, Illinois, and recently offered £600 million in a bid to buy Wembley Football Stadium from the FA.
However, he has since withdrawn the offer.
Khan was featured on the front cover of Forbes magazine in 2012, associating him as the face of the American Dream, and in August his net worth was estimated to be more than $7 billion.
He is ranked 70th in the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans, and is overall the 221st wealthiest person in the world.
Khan is also the richest person of Pakistani origin.
The super yacht was photographed by Gravesend photographer Fraser Gray.
