Alan Sugar's 181ft superyacht, with Jacuzzi, two dining areas and space for 12 people to sleep is for sale for £12.2 million.

But while it waits for a buyer, the superyacht was spotted cruising the Thames moored near Tower Bridge during the bank holiday heatwave, according to MailOnline.

Lord Sugar bought the luxury vessel in 2015 and renamed her Lady A, after his wife of 50 years, Ann.

The billionaire businessman then gave Lady A a total refit, which cost £11.8 million and took 10 months.

The party ship now features marble sculptures, glass walls to make the most of the views, walnut cabinetry and solid timber floors.

There are six luxury en suite cabins sleeping up to 12 people.

The Owner's cabin on the lower deck complete with a private study, own Jacuzzi, shower room and dressing room. There are three further guest cabins on the lower deck, all with double beds and an inside dining room where guests can dine in privacy.

On the main deck, sailors can enjoy a seating area with a lounge, large dining space and plenty of comfortable seating, with an additional covered seating area if the weather turns.

A VIP guest cabin and twin guest cabin make up the rest of the rooms on this floor.

The top deck features a spacious lounge area as well as a vast space for sunbathing, and further aft deck dining and lounge area. A second Jacuzzi, a bar and sun awnings offer further opportunities to relax.

The superyacht has been on sale since late last year and has already received a great deal of interest, according to Nicholas Edmiston, of Edmiston, who are brokering the sale.

“Her heritage and recent refit mean that she represents a fairly unique opportunity; a modern classic design that is ready to go,” he says.

“Lady A’s guest areas are perhaps her most notable feature, from the main salon with its curved window-line to the vast sun deck, flanked by Bannenberg’s architectural wings.”

The yacht was originally built in 1986 and designed by Jon Bannenburg, arguably the world’s premier yacht designer.

“A feature of Bannenberg’s design is the innovative use of glass, with radius, circular and full-height sections adding both stylistic elements and also great views,” says Edmiston.

Lady A was refitted in 2017 to include an extension to the aft end of the upper deck to increase the seating areas further as well as given a comprehensive refit indoors.
