The £75 million superyacht Archimedes has now started its journey out of Bristol Harbour.

The huge yacht, which belongs to billionaire James Simons, has been docked in Bristol since Sunday afternoon (August 5).

Its presence has seemingly caught the attention of most of Bristol - with many curious about the reason for the visit.

Others took offence at the presence of the yacht and decided to stage a protest.

At the time of writing (5.21am) Ship Finder has the yacht passing through Cumberland basin as it heads back up the River Avon.

By 5.46am it had passed Clifton Suspension Bridge as it heads out of Bristol.

It is not yet clear where the boat is heading next.

• It's beam, widest point, is 12.3 meters - the length of double decker bus
• It can be crewed by a 18-strong team and house 16 guests
• This is over 8 cabins, comprising a master suite, 4 double cabins and 3 twin cabins.

• The boat can store 53,400 litres of fresh water on board
• It is estimated the standard fuel usage for a 71m yacht is 500 litres an hour, meaning an average of £265m is spent just on petrol every year
• It can cost around £350,000 a year just in dockage fees
• The crew will command a salary of around £1.5m and the boat will generally need £1m spent on maintenance
