This was the sight that greeted Cornish locals when Russian billionaire banker Alexander Svetakov docked his 235ft-long superyacht at Falmouth.
The 2,293-ton £90m Cloudbreak, which boasts six staterooms, a helipad and an outdoor pool, dwarfed the surrounding boats as it entered into the harbour today.
The ship arrived with a complement of crew early this morning, and members of staff were seen loading and unloading the yacht for hours.

The ship arrived with a complement of crew early this morning, and members of staff were seen loading and unloading the yacht for hours
The vessel was built by Abeking & Rasmussen, a shipyard near Bremen, Germany, and was delivered in 2016.
It was designed by Espen Øino, a world recognized designer and naval architect who is behind some of the most iconic superyachts.
Christian Liaigre, a French interior designer and architect, is responsible for the sumptuous and striking interior.
Outside, Cloudbreak looks like something a Bond villain would live in – with metallic greys next to striking whites.
Inside, the yacht is opulent with cream furniture, floor to ceiling windows, a massive corner sofa – and a 98.5” TV.
Cloudbreak also has a massage room and a large number of staff, who are currently only allowed off the boat to exercise.
The boat is powered by two Caterpillar marine engines which bring the luxury yacht up to a maximum speed of 15 knots (17mph).
Cloudbreak has a cruising speed of 12 knots.
Named after the Fijian surfing reef, as Svetakov is fond of surfing, Cloudbreak has a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure.

Now, Svetakov is worth around £1.82bn, according to Forbes, has three children, and one ex-wife – Yulia Svetakova.
Alongside Cloudbreaker, Svetakov owns two private jets – a Bombardier Global 5000 and a Bombardier Challenger 500.
He also owns a Bell 429 helicopter which can be seen on the back of Cloudbreaker, where it is permanently based as Svetakov likes to heli-ski.
The Cloudbreak sleeps up to 12 guests in six rooms, including a master suite, three double cabins and two twin cabins, with further (less luxurious) space for 22 crew
Compared to many, its interiors – including this spacious dining area – are more refined and minimalist than over-the-top opulent

Guests can also take part in ‘heliskiing’ – which is similar to waterskiing but uses the ship’s helicopter (pictured) rather than a boat
