That yacht is amazing. I went to Baker Beach today around 2pm, and I saw it emerge from the fog out over the ocean on its way into the bay. I guess there were a ton of people who knew it was coming, but I had no idea what it was. The 3 giant (20 stories!) sales were very impressive. That thing made all the other boats look like toys.
Yes it was Massive.
Here is a photo from on the bridge as it was passing through to give you a sense of scale:
