This 90-foot luxurious sailing yacht features its own towboat and is on sale for over $5 million. Take a look inside.

• We went onboard a $5 million luxury sailboat at a showcase in London.
• The Oyster 885 comes with its own tow boat, four bedrooms, and private crew quarters.
• Dan Wurzbacher, head of Oyster sales, said customers can personalize the yacht, which ups the price.

The Oyster 885, a $5 million sailing yacht, was showcased at a luxury boat event in central London. The yacht was built by British boat builder, Oyster.

The particular model at the London Luxury Afloat show was called "Clare." The owner was ready to sell the yacht after owning it for under 10 years.

The Oyster 885 is the biggest yacht that the company builds. It comes with four bedrooms that all have ensuites, as well as lounge spaces, a kitchen, crew quarters, and entertaining space on the top deck.

At the front of the deck, there's even a tow boat which carries passengers from shore to the yacht.

Dan Wurzbacher, US head of Oyster sales, told Insider that the base price of the Oyster 885 was $5 million but customers can personalize the yacht via options list, which increases the price.

Customers have the option to choose different layouts, colors, and materials for the exterior and interior design of the yacht, Wurzbacher said.

One of the most popular features of the yacht is the hydraulic folding bathing platforms that allow people to swim off the back of the yacht, Wurzbacher said.

Wurzbacher said the most common type of the customer the company sees buying the yachts is entrepreneurial.

This was the main lounge area inside the yacht. The glass sunroof let a lot of light into the space.

This lounge can substitute for a bedroom because the sofas pull out to become beds.

The crew members cook for the guests in the kitchen, which was very narrow.

Crew members can get access to the engine room through the kitchen to check up on the operations of the yacht.

The crew members sleep in an extremely narrow room on bunkbeds.

The most senior crew members or the captain sleeps in a slightly bigger room which has an ensuite.

The guest bedrooms are more spacious — one offers a double bed while the other room has a double bed. Both had private toilets.

The master bedroom, the largest room on the yacht, has a desk, a sofa next to the window, and a private toilet. Wurzbacher said another top feature for customers was the triple vertical seascape windows.

The master bedroom's toilet was far more spacious than the other toilets onboard and had a good amount of storage too.

Purchasing a yacht like the Oyster 885 "tends to be one of these things where... all your life events have to line up to be able to do something like this," Wurzbacher said, adding that it depends on finance, business, health and free time to use the boat.

'it's just crazy': crews readying to tow 1 month after multimillion-dollar yacht capsized.

The latest breaking updates, delivered straight to your email inbox.

A month after a multimillion-dollar yacht capsized in the West River near Edgewater, crews are getting ready to tow it out of the area.

On July 27, the Love Bug took on water and made a mayday call before capsizing .

"It's just crazy, right? It's not every day a multimillion-dollar yacht gets capsized off your home," said Samantha Kaplan, who lives in the nearby Beverly Beach neighborhood near where the boat went down.

Some neighbors have had a front-row seat for all of it, even watching as all five people on the boat were rescued.

"They actually rescued people to that dock right there, so we saw people getting off the boat," said Ann Gaines, a neighbor. "I guess the owner and a couple people had already been rescued by another boat."

For nearly a month, neighbors looked at the boat lying on its side. They said after the remnants of Hurricane Debby blew through, artifacts from the boat washed ashore, including the boat's bar.

"Countertops and chairs and all of these liquor bottles, like Maker's Mark, and one of our neighbors gathered it all together and set it up like it was a bar," Gaines said.

"I found a frozen burrito that was no longer frozen, and added it to the bar collection," Kaplan said.

That's all gone now, and the Love Bug soon will be too.

Last week, salvage crews, barges and cranes surrounded the yacht and stood it upright. Crews had to rig it up and patch holes before the boat could be towed away to New Jersey.

Neighbors said it's been an interesting month, and even once the boat is gone, they will still have quite the story to tell.

"Every time we've had a person come and visit us the last few weeks, we're like, 'Also this is the million-dollar yacht that sank off our coast.' It's definitely been a good storytime for a little bit," Kaplan said.

The investigation into what caused the ship to take on water is ongoing.

Liverpool FC owner’s £66 million superyacht spotted off Broughty Ferry

Elysian, owned American businessman John W Henry, has a helipad and heated pool.

A £66 million superyacht belonging to Liverpool FC owner John W Henry has been spotted off Broughty Ferry.

Elysian, a 66-metre-long vessel, docked in the Tay – between Broughty Ferry and Tayport – on Monday morning.

It travelled to the Tay from Aberdeen, where it was berthed over the weekend.

Locals said those on board the luxury yacht appeared to be using a smaller boat to reach the shore.

Superyacht Elysian visits the Tay

It is understood Henry was among them.

The yacht has since moved out towards Barry Buddon.

One onlooker said: “I think it belongs to the owner of a Premier League football team as I’d read it was up in Aberdeen yesterday .

“We were walking along the beach this morning when we spotted it.

“You think they’d rather be in the Mediterranean at this time of year with a boat like that.”

Elysian’s arrival in the Tay was mentioned by  Liverpool fan group KopTalkTV on YouTube .

In the video, the host said: “Don’t assume that he is in the UK just because the yacht’s in the UK.

John Henry’s superyacht spotted off Broughty Ferry after Liverpool game

“Maybe if you see him at the game then he’s obviously there, and what happened – he turned up at the game .”

The reason for the visit has not been confirmed but some locals have speculated Henry may be heading to the Old Course in St Andrews.

The yacht, which sails under the Cayman Islands flag, was built in Germany.

With a top speed of 16.5 knots, it has an outdoor swimming pool, helipad, spa centre and gym and glass lift.

There is room on board for up to 12 guests and 17 crew.

Previously named Ester III, the yacht was once owned by Russian entrepreneur Georgy Bedzhamov.

American businessman Henry – who also owns the Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Penguins – bought the ship in 2016.
