Footage shows how the luxury yacht was doused with water from a crane.

As the fire raged, police officers cordoned off the area and evacuated nearby buildings in Sotogrande Port, Spain.

By the time firefighters arrived, strong winds had created an inferno that had engulfed the entire vessel.

And it wasn’t until 5am the next morning that the fire was completely extinguished.

More than a dozen firefighters were called to put off the blaze.

The fire broke out after the maintenance team had finished work for the day.

Port officials also confirmed that electrical work had taken place in the engine room shortly before the blaze.

Some reports say there were eight tonnes of diesel fuel on board at the time of fire.

However, it is still unclear what led to the horror inferno.

The Elysium is a British-built Sunseeker yacht that features four luxurious cabins alongside a jacuzzi, a plunge pool, and a gym.
