Photos show luxury boat with 50m pool and water slides near Kim Jong Un's summer retreat

Satellite images have repeatedly captured an 80-metre (263-foot) luxury vessel off the coast of Wonsan, North Korea, between July and mid-October this year.

The vessel was seen near the area associated with Kim Jong Un’s summer retreat. Images accompanying the report highlight a large swimming pool measuring 50 metres, along with water slides, adding to the boat’s unusually elaborate design.

Repeated sightings in satellite imagery

The vessel’s presence was recorded on multiple occasions during the reported period rather than in a single isolated image. Its location off Wonsan places it near one of North Korea’s coastal areas, although the available information does not identify the vessel’s owner, passengers or purpose.

What the images show

The reported dimensions indicate a substantial private vessel, measuring 80 metres from end to end. The pool and slides shown in the images point to facilities designed for leisure, but the satellite photographs alone do not establish how the vessel was being used during the sightings.

No further details are available about the boat’s movements after mid-October, its operating schedule or whether it remained in the area. The observations therefore document the vessel’s repeated appearance off Wonsan without confirming its ownership or activity.
