The ship appears to be a Princess Y85, an eight-person ship with two engines and luxury fittings. The video shows the details.
A new Y 85 should cost around $7 million according to TWW.
Grace Kedzior-MacDonough told Insider that the yacht caught fire.
She said that everyone started to crowd around after seeing black smoke.
The boat had burned through its moorings and was floating in the harbor when police and firefighters arrived.
She said that the fire had gotten out of hand.
The force was first called at 12.50 a.m., according to the press officer.
She could not say when the first responders arrived, but an online statement detailing a response of several crews was issued at 1.05 p.m.
Kedzior-MacDonough said that small explosions could be heard from the yacht. The yacht contained 8,000 liters of diesel when it caught fire.
Local police asked people to close their windows to avoid inhaling the smoke, as per an online incident report.
The images showed that the ship had stopped burning.
