Huge £20m super yacht moors on Liverpool waterfront
The owner is reported to be a multi-millionaire CEO
A huge £20m super yacht has appeared on Liverpool's docks.
Reef Chief, which is registered to and carrying the flag of the Cayman Islands, appeared in Canning Dock at 12.59pm on Wednesday, July 5. The 161-foot vessel arrived in Liverpool after making a trip from Cardiff.
The yacht was reportedly put on the market in 2011 for an asking price of $29.9m, per superyachting website Boat International, although SuperYachtFan.com puts this at $25m [£20m GBP].

Reef Chief was named Anjilis at the time. The same website reports its current owner to be American multi-millionaire James F Dicke II, the chairman and CEO of Crown Equipment Corporation, one of the world's largest forklift truck manufacturers.
The CharterWorld website says Reef Chief's cruising speed is around 18 knots and she includes a spa pool, a bar, accommodation for up to 11 guests and room for a crew of nine people. The website also indicates the yacht is not available for charter although other sources are unclear on this. Other similar yachts are listed for hire at more than $150,000 per week.
