Benetti handed over the largest yacht built at its docks, the 90-metre Lionheart. Photographer Karl Borg captured the boat moored at Grand Harbour Marina in Malta.

The photos show a black hulled tender with a lion motif attached to the boat.

Lionheart is a displacement vessel with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. The exterior design was a collaboration between Stefano Nat ucci and the Benetti design team. Green & Mingarelli Design designed the interiors. The value of the megayacht is estimated at £100m.

Lionheart is owned by British businessman Philip Green who owns Topshop clothing brand.

The megayacht is the third in the billionaire's garage. Green also has a 2006-built 63-meter Benetti that was recently renamed from Lionheart to Lioness V.

The purchase sparked outrage from the British public: it comes a year after Green sold major clothing chain BHS for £1 to a little-known investor. BHS is now on the verge of bankruptcy and many blame the former owner.
