A tugboat-turned-superyacht has taken refuge in the East End after technical problems.
The Hoda arrived in Bermuda last September after being converted into a private vessel.
The ship was due to travel to Gibraltar, but turned around over technical problems and will remain docked in Penno’s Wharf.
The Hoda, formerly known as the C Champion and C Commodore, was crafted in the US in 1998.
She is 66 metres long and holds a volume of 2,106 gross tonnage.
