The planet's largest privately owned residential cruise ship, "The World" has dropped anchor in Mossel Bay.
The ultra-luxurious yacht arrived in town on Monday night.
Apartments on "The World" cost millions of rands and are owned by the mega-rich as a condo can set you back between $2 million and $15 million.
According to a press release issued by The World, Mossel Bay is one of only three ports the ultra-luxurious yacht is visiting in South Africa this year.
The other two are Cape Town and Durban.
The exact dates of the yacht's port stopovers are not provided for security reasons.
The vessel is spending almost two weeks in South African waters and will visit six continents this year.
There are 165 homes on board and an average of 200 residents and guests.
A number of the residents are South Africans, so SA is a favoured destination of The World, which first launched in 2002.
According to an article published by CNN in 2017, The yacht is home to the world’s only full-sized at-sea tennis court, a 7,000-square foot spa and fitness centre, and a 12,000-bottle wine collection.
