Billionaire& former Tottenham Hotspur owner Joe Lewis has been accused of ‘blocking’ the sea view for holidaymakers with his £250million superyacht.

The 322-foot vessel named Aviva was docked off the coast of Devon, in front of two family resorts, over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Lewis, who is worth a reported $7billion, uses the boat as a ‘floating home’. It was custom built in 2017 and features marble interiors, an office and even a padel court.

The superyacht has been branded an ‘eyesore’ by local residents and tourists, who say it has been taking cover behind the Plymouth breakwater since arriving earlier in the summer from Gibraltar.

Sandra Hunter, 52, from Bridgwater, Somerset, said: ‘Why does he feel that he has to park up outside of a place normal people wish to go on holiday for the Bank Holiday?

‘These yachts belong in Monaco not off the quiet Devon coastline. It was very strange to see it quite honestly. I hope he takes it to the Mediterranean next year!’

The superyacht was pictured yesterday around the Bovisands, Jennycliff and Staddon Heights area in Plymouth Sound.

The area is located next to two holiday parks, Bovisands Lodge Holiday Park and Cedar Park, which are popular with families.
