The Woubrugsebrug, the bridge which spans over the canal in Woubrugge, was open for around 40 minutes to let Pi pass through on Wednesday morning, according to Studio Alphen. It was reportedly making its way for Alphen aan den Rijn, a city in the western Netherlands.

The pictures show Pi towering over the local homes and buildings. It is being supported by two other vessels located at either end of the yacht.

The village of Woubrugge is located around 7.5km (4.7 miles) north of Alphen aan den Rijn. A number of local people gathered to watch the huge yacht pass through the narrow canal.

One woman said,according to the local website: "I wonder what it looks like on the inside? I think it's a luxury paradise."
