Billionaire Bill Gates has not commissioned a hydrogen-powered superyacht from designer Sinot, the firm has told the BBC.
It has been widely reported that Mr Gates ordered a £500m ($644m) luxury vessel, based on the concept which was displayed in Monaco in 2019.
Sinot said it had "no business relationship" with Bill Gates.
It added that that the concept yacht, called Aqua, was "not linked" to either him or any of his representatives.
"Aqua is a concept under development and has not been sold to Mr Gates," a spokeswoman said.
She added that it was shown "in Monaco [and] meant to build a better future, and inspire clients and the industry."
