Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel’s luxury superyacht has been spotted in the Marlborough Sounds.

Two hundred-million-dollar US superyacht Bliss was seen anchored offshore in Resolution Bay yesterday.

The sighting comes a day after the American billionaire’s private plane was seen on the tarmac at Wellington Airport on 28 December.

And while there was no sign of the social messaging app mogul or his wife, Australian Supermodel Miranda Kerr, staff were seen on board.

The 95-metre-long yacht was seen in Resolution Bay where it remained for several hours.
