The 65ft motor yacht Louise made her name when she was at the centre of the largest drugs seizure the UK has ever seen.

The Dutch-built yacht was being used to import drugs. When she was seized in Southampton by UK Border Agency officers two years ago she was found to be carrying cocaine with an estimated £300m street value. Louise is still berthed in Southampton, but at 1830hrs today she is due to go under the hammer at Wilson's Auctions in County Antrim. See a video of the yacht below:

 


 

Louise was built by Zijlmans Jachtbouw BV in The Netherlands in 2002. She has twin 170KW 230 HP Vetus Deutz turbo diesel engines, a 12KVA generator (mastervolt) bow and stern thrusters, full aircon system, KVH4 sat TV system, 4KV open array radar and Autopilot.
