An incredible $300 million superyacht has been spotted making waves off the coast of Bangor.

Kaos, the largest superyacht built in the Netherlands, has four decks, and it is 110-metres long and weighs over 4,500 tonnes.

It is reported to be owned by Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie who has an estimated net worth of $8.7 billion and was constructed by renowned shipbuilder Oceanco.

It was spotted earlier this week moored in Dun Laoghaire Harbour in Co Dublin before making its way up the coast to the Co Down coast.

Shipbuilder Oceanco said: "Built to the Passenger Yacht Code, she has spacious accommodation for up to 30 guests, including an owner's deck with a master suite in the customary bridge position to provide spectacular views.

"A first for a yacht of her magnitude, Kaos was delivered as a fully turn-key project, outfitted with all owner's supplies, from tenders, spares and watertoys to china, silverware and loose furniture."
