Many sightseers on the Charlottetown waterfront are stopping to check out the yacht and look it up online.

"It's phenomenal, just wondering if it's a commercial vessel or a private vessel," Alison Gilmour said, a visitor from Oshawa, Ont.

"Pretty amazing ship," added Gary Robinson, of Parry Sound, Ont.

"We have to make a really difficult decision whether we're going to rent it next summer," he said.

"I'm just kidding obviously."

The super yacht is listed online as being available for €196,000 to €224,000 per week — around $300,000 Canadian.
