The lattest addition to the couple's estate in Sonning Eye, Oxon, is a teak vessel now docked at a waterside pavilion. 

Actor George Clooney, 55, spent £13million [$17 million] purchasing the Georgian mansion in 2014, then refurbishing it. It resides on a five-and-a-half acre island located on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Thames.

George, ever the romantic, is reported to have said to the builders working on the project: "What Amal wants, Amal gets." Wise words.

Local sources said they have spotted the couple using their new boat for romantic rowing trips on the Thames river.

The Ocean's Eleven star showed his love of the water in 2014.

Clooney has always had a great love of water. In 2014, George led a parade of boats down the Grand Canal ahead of his wedding to international human rights lawyer Amal, 38.

The fancy new purchase comes after the Clooney couple filed a restraining order against a man who was threatening the lovebirds.
