The luxury boat is owned by social media billionaire Mark Zuckerberg who is the CEO of Meta.
The mogul co-founded Facebook and its parent company Meta Platforms, of which he is the chairman, chief executive officer, and controlling shareholder.
And he bought the incredible superyacht last year after his 40th birthday.
The superyacht was purchased at the reported price of $300 million (around £232million)
Launchpad has been on a sightseeing tour over the last few days.
It has passed through Skye, the Hebrides and Ullapool and past Orkney and Shetland.
It’s now off the coast of Norway heading north.
It comes after it departed from the port of the Portuguese island Horta on March 27.
It is currently unknown if Mr Zuckerberg was on board the ship.
The massive vessel weighs 5528 gross tonnes and is the biggest ever yacht to be constructed at Dutch shipyard Feadship.
It has a huge deep blue hull adorned with its bold red stripe and also has a visible helipad.
The vessel, described as a “floating fortress” by boating enthusiasts, measures an immense 387 feet.
The interior boasts 12 cosy staterooms for guests, which are entertained by a private cinema, gym and other luxuries.
These are maintained by a full crew.
