• A 154-foot Hong Kong ferry that was converted into a luxury yacht is for sale for $2.7 million.
• The yacht has 6,000 square feet of living space over three levels, including four guest cabins and a home cinema.
• It was redesigned to be eco-friendly, with solar panels and a water catchment system.

What used to be a passenger ferry boat in Hong Kong has been transformed into a luxury yacht with 6,000 square feet of living space and a home cinema - and it's for sale for $2.7 million.

The 154-foot boat, called Dot, can sleep up to eight passengers in four en suite cabins. It comes with a home cinema and a central mezzanine area that houses the largest sofa in Hong Kong and enough space for a 14-foot Christmas tree, according to Ocean Independence, the superyacht brokerage listing the boat.

The owner, a British-born Hong Kong resident, bought the boat in 2011 after its ferry route shut down and transformed it into a weekend retreat, the yacht brokerage told Insider. He renovated the interior and added more than 1,800 square feet of solar panels, a large battery tank, and a water catchment system to make the vessel as self-sustaining as possible.

The owner wished to remain anonymous and was not available for an interview to share more details on the conversion process.
