The flashy boat, which boasts features such as a water slide and helipad, belongs to billionaire Oleg Tinkov.
The Russian entrepreneur is the founder and former owner of Tinkoff Bank.
The 76-metre La Datcha also comes with a jacuzzi, fully-equipped gym, and waverunners.
Lucky guests can make use of two helicopters, a submersible and snow scooters.
The boat cruises at around 14 knots and has a range of 3,000 nautical miles.
It arrived at the marina after spending a few days anchored off Gourock.
La Datcha has six guest suites, including two master cabins and two VIP suites.
Each suite comes with a bathroom (a toilet and a shower or a tub) and a walk-in wardrobe.
A description of the vessel reads: "Full height windows of the observation lounge, main saloon and the owner's suite let you enjoy the stunning views, while the upper-deck observation deck creates an ideal spot for uninterrupted panoramas.
"Spend a romantic tropical night on the sun deck, listening to the waves softly breaking over the reef. Or under the Arctic's midnight sun, celebrate the day's discoveries with a warm dip in the jacuzzi.

Schultz was previously the CEO and chairman of Starbucks.
And the £80million yacht Rocinante, owned by American billionaire games developer Gabe Newell, used the dock as a base for a nine-day tour around Scotland's west coast.
Meanwhile, Alexei Mordashov's Lady M craft also moored there during a visit.
