The Samsara, which is docked near Bishop's Landing, is reportedly owned by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
People were stopping by Sunday to get a look at the yacht and see if anybody was on board. Crew members could be seen at times.
According to the website 'SuperYachtFan', the Samsara was sold to Rowling in 2023 and is valued at $150 million US.
CTV News has reached out to Rowling's PR team for more information.
Federal cabinet ministers Filomena Tassi, Carla Qualtrough, and Dan Vandal announced Thursday they will not run for re-election. Senior government sources tell CTV News at least one other – Marie-Claude Bibeau – doesn't plan to run again, setting the stage for Justin Trudeau to shuffle his cabinet in the coming weeks.
