Walk along the River Thames this weekend and you might spot something a bit different.

That’s because there is a 400ft super yacht moored along the river amongst the usual tourist boats and small vessels.

The $450million behemoth belongs to the Fulham and Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan.

Khan is in town ahead of his NFL franchise spending the next two weeks in London.

First up is a clash against the Chicago Bears at Tottenham on Sunday, before playing a ‘home’ game against the New England Patriots at Wembley next week.

The Jags have been regular London visitors for the last decade and they were mooted as a potential London franchise. Khan once tried to buy Wembley.

This weekend, however, he made his grand entrance to the capital in the stunning super yacht.

Khan took delivery of the mega yacht named KISMET earlier this year and is much longer than an American football field.

It is designed to pamper 12 uber VIP guests over the yacht’s massive six decks. 

The master suite spans two decks and features a private hot tub, sunbathing area and his and hers bathrooms.

The yacht’s wellness and beauty sections feature a Balinese-themed spa, which includes a hammam, sauna, and cryotherapy chamber. There is also a dedicated gym and yoga studio complete with a juice bar, both of which have sea terraces that can be opened.

Additionally, there is a treatment room equipped with a massage table, waterfall shower, and chromotherapy bathtub. For evenings when glamour is required, the yacht provides two hair and beauty rooms—one situated in the spa area and the other in the owner’s suite.

It even has its own basketball and pickleball court, as well as an array of water sports toys.

The boat can also be chartered for around $3m-per-week.

The Jags have started this NFL season 1-4 and looking for a boost after spending two weeks in London.

Head coach Doug Pederson is under huge pressure, while franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence is providing more problems than solutions.

Former star running back Maurice Jones-Drew did have a message ahead of their showdown with the Bears.

“They’ve been close,” Jones-Drew said. “The Jags have been close. That’s the biggest thing. They’ve been super close.” “

“Getting that first win has been tough. Right? And that’s always been the thing. You gotta get that first win.

“Once you get that first win, it’s kind of like the monkey is off your back a little bit. They’ve been close in some games. They had the blowout against the Buffalo Bill, but other than that, they’re a team that’s been a play or two away.”
