It’s understood that the boat was being refitted by German superyacht maker Lurssen.
The vessel boasts an incredible six floors, containing its own helipad and swimming pool.
Some are saying that it may be the largest superyacht that Poole Harbour has welcomed, coming in at a whopping 134.22 metres.

Pat and Carole Ockenden, from Oakdale, were visiting Poole for a spot of shopping and to check out the superyacht that’s been all across social media.
After seeing multiple pictures and even drone footage of the 134m yacht, the pair thought they’d come down and check it out for themselves.

Carole said: “We came out shopping and Pat said ‘do you fancy having a look at that new yacht’.
“You can’t imagine people having that sort of money, how the other half live!”
Carole added that boats have been very important in her family, with her dad building his own years ago.
She said that having lived in Kent in the past, they’ve been visiting the area for around 60 years.
Carole said: “It’s amazing to see all the boats.”
Poole resident James had also visited the harbour with hopes of seeing the superyacht.
He said: “I mean just look at the size of it, it’s humongous.”
Andy Donovan, known for his page A D Coastalmedia, captured some images of the boat, adding that seeing a vessel of this size takes a bit of time to take in.
He said: “Being a local mariner and a keen drone photographer, I look out for the extra special boats and scenery to shoot locally.
“Superyacht Deep Blue didn’t disappoint with its sleek lines a beautiful deep blue coloured upper deck. Not a colour I’ve seen on a superyacht before. It really sets it off under the right lighting.
“The design layout of the lounge decks is quite something and the swimming pool with a glass rear wall to make you feel like your connected to the ocean.
“The size of this vessel takes a little time to sink in. Seeing it earlier in the day towering over a cross channel catamaran ferry shows off its size.”
