On Valentine's day, the millionaire owner presented his lavish gift in a ceremony with red balloons.

The mega yacht was gift-wrapped in a matching bootstripe - a narrow line along the length of the boat.

The floating Taj Mahal - just like the famous Indian landmark - was also built as a present to the owner's wife in 2015.

It was allegedly owned by the Dutch tech millionaire Rudolph Booker.

The Kiss was the brainchild of boat company Feadship, delivering the owner's dreams of a yacht of "fantastic quality".

Before the owners sailed off into sunset on romantic voyages around the world, the husband concluded the sweet ceremony with his final words.

He said: "My wife had a dream to build a yacht of fantastic quality.

"I cannot thank you enough for realising her dream." 

But apart from the lovely sentiment, the yacht also boasts luxurious amenities.

Per the owner's request, the yacht was painted in a unique metallic black colour, which required a painstaking effort.

The Feadship CEO Henk de Vries called it "the most complicated object ever to have been painted this way".

The yacht company developed a new mixing machine for the team to spray paint the outside with one clean sweep.

Kiss is also believed to be the first sea trial of gas-to-liquids synthetic diesel on a yacht.

The caterpillar twin engines propel the yacht to a cruising speed of 12 nautical miles per hour.

The interior of the yacht was carefully designed to fit the taste of the owners.

The private deck features a cosy saloon which makes a perfect romantic setup.

The penthouse-style cabin opens up a stunning ocean view.

And the massive hatch in the cabin's ceiling slides to reveal the blue skies to satisfy "the owner's love of fresh air".

The cabin's terrace offers an intimate, al-fresco lounge for the couple to enjoy their breakfast.

It is also equipped with a dining table to host family and friends, and the sunshade which provides a hideout from the blazing sun.

The yacht can accommodate 12 guests in six cabins including a VIP suite on the main deck.

With the family-oriented layout in mind, the Kiss has plenty of space for the kids, and even cabins for the nannies and a teacher.

The children's suite features a bunk bed to free up floor area for the kids to play on.

There's a study desk, and the furniture is covered in fabrics that are "easy to clean".

The interior designer studio RWD has weaved "lighthearted" touches throughout the room with decorative artwork.

The owner's suite stretches out to sundeck complete with a 360-degree view spa pool.

Meanwhile, the back of the boat features a hydraulic side boarding ladder and a platform which can be transformed into a stairway or a diving board.

And for children's safety, it can be easily lowered into the water offering a flat swimming pad with railings around it.

In June 2023, the Kiss was sold to an unnamed bidder and now sails the seas under the name Lady Victoria.
