A MASSIVE 55 metre superyacht - the biggest of its type in the world - has docked in Southampton.

The Pink Gin VI arrived in the city today and is currently docked in Ocean Village.

The vessel, which is 53.9 metres long, is currently the largest carbon fibre sloop ever built.

It was constructed by Finnish specialist yacht builders Baltic Yachts.

The superyacht comprises an 18 tonne composite carbon hull and deck, which was built in three parts, and boasts a sail that is almost 70 metres high.

Inside, it features a stunning en-suite master bedroom and lounge, as well as various other mod cons.

Experts say the boat can travel upwards of 16 knots - around 18 mph.
