First off, Lonian is a product of the Netherlands. Secondly, it is currently a visitor in my front yard. About 4 or 5 miles distant in my front yard of Kachemak Bay, Alaska.

Lonian Revealed: Inside the 87 Metre Feadship Superyacht
2020-07-14BY MIRANDA BLAZEBY
Dutch yard Feadship has revealed first-look images of the 87 metre superyacht Lonian following her launch last year.
The yard has kept the yacht strictly under wraps at the wishes of her owners, who stipulated the desire for a full year's private cruising without publicity.

Interest in the yacht has been strong however, evident in a time-lapse video of Lonian's construction, which received more than five million views on Feadship's YouTube channel. Now the yard has released the first images of the yacht.
On her adventures around the world, in which Lonian spends as much time away from marinas as possible, the yacht travels with a "flotilla" of toys and tenders, as well as a 66 metre support vessel, which transports more equipment and an additional crew of 22.
Lonian's exterior design, which is characterised by a deep blue hull, plentiful stainless steel and extensive glass, was penned by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design.
“The result is a Feadship with the presence and stance of a beefy motoryacht wich simultaneously retains and elegant and slender air," the yard said.
A total of 22 openings from interior to exterior create an "unrivalled open feel on board," Feadship said.
One particularly dramatic feature is the swimming pool, the translucent bottom of which doubles as the ceiling of the beach club below. A cinema screen, not visible in these daytime shots, is also integrated into the edge of the pool.
The interior of the yacht, which remains private, was created by Sinot in collaboration with Richard Hallberg Interior Design. While the interior has not been revealed, Feadship revealed that it contains a glass elevator serving all five decks and a main deck lounge with panoramic full beam views.
Accommodation on board is for a total of 14 guests in seven cabins, including the owner's stateroom, four large guest staterooms and two VIPs. The crew quarters meanwhile consists of 15 crew cabins and one captain's cabin.

There remains much unsaid; a simple Google search and certainly a look at the article quoted above are worth while if this is of interest.
I live along a majestic bit of coastline that draws many tourists throughout the summer, and most of the boat fleet is charter fishing and recreational boaters. Two nights ago we looked out and were taken by the notably beautiful form of the boat, so we exercised out 7x binoculars and 60x spotting scope to see what this visiting stranger was. A quick read of the ship's name and Google revealed pages of photos and information, and a yacht follower's page that predicted their arrival in Homer, Alaska on this day.
The boat costs more than I can dream of earning in a lifetime, belongs to a billionaire, and is accompanied by its own tender to support proper travel.
I have heard of such boats in the past, and it is nice to see one coming by to share the local magnificence.
Kudos to the shipyards in the Netherlands, and wishes for fair winds for the rest of the voyage!
