HOLLYWOOD superstar Tom Cruise is staying aboard an incredible £32million super yacht as he holidays in Cornwall.

The 59-year-old’s incredible vessel - called the Triple Seven - was spotted sailing into the bay at Penzance last night as the actor travels around the stunning coastline.

Tom is currently enjoying a break from shooting the latest Mission Impossible film at the Warner Bros Studios in Hertfordshire, and on location around the UK.

The 68 metre yacht can host up to 12 people, as well as 17 crew members to wait on his every need.

It features a huge waterslide, a jacuzzi and various outdoor dining spaces, depending on where Tom fancies his dinner. 

It is tastefully decorated inside with cream interiors and an impressively sized master bedroom.

Last month The Sun revealed that filming on the seventh installment of the film had ground to a halt once again after someone on set tested positive for coronavirus. 

Some people pointed their fingers at the leading man himself, claiming they hadn’t seen him on set since. 

An insider said: “Filming on Mission Impossible 7 is on hold again because of coronavirus. And this time, those working on the production have said they think Tom could be the possible cause of the postponement.

“Everyone on the set was told that filming was being stopped again because of a positive test. And since then, Tom hasn’t been on set once.

“Now people are speculating that he could have come into contact with the person who tested positive. And in some cases, people are even gossiping and saying it could be him.

In an impassioned speech Tom pleaded with those on the production to stick within the rules to avoid further hold-ups.

Tom Cruise's luxury £32m superyacht as he enjoys sailing getaway in Cornwall

Tom Cruise was reportedly spotted stepping off an enormous yacht in Cornwall while he takes a break from filming the latest Mission Impossible movie

Hollywood star Tom Cruise's mega-yacht was reportedly spotted sailing around the Cornish coast as the actor enjoyed a break from filming Mission Impossible.

The 59-year-old actor, who is currently in the UK filming the latest instalment of the action saga, is making the most of the scorching British weather as he stayed aboard a yacht called the Triple Seven, which is said to be worth millions.

The enormous 65-metre vessel reportedly costs around £32 million and boasts 17 crew members and a host of exciting toys such as a huge slide and jet skis. There is even kite surfing equipment and stand-up paddleboards on the incredible yacht should Tom fancy even more adventure.

Onboard, there is also a jacuzzi and lots of gorgeous outdoor eating areas as well as several luxurious bedrooms to relax in. Inside the vessel, there are cream interiors and a stunning lounge area with sofas and pillows.

Although it is unclear who had joined Tom on the yacht, the vessel has enough space for 12 guests.

According to Cornwall Live , the actor was spotted on the yacht before stepping onto the shore and jumping into a Mercedes with blacked-out windows.

Tom has been hard at work in the UK where he has been filming lots of dramatic scenes that will form part of Mission Impossible.

He has also been spotted at lots of high-profile events in the country including Wimbledon and the Euros.

Mission Impossible 7 and 8 are being filmed back to back but unfortunately have faced major delays due to the ongoing global pandemic as the movies attempt to film scenes around the world.

In the latest setback, last month's filming was thrown into disarray when a crew member on set tested positive for Covid-19.

It meant that filming had to be halted for safety reasons.

An insider speaking to The Sun said at the time explained: "Filming on Mission Impossible 7 is on hold again because of coronavirus . And this time, those working on the production have said they think Tom could be the possible cause of the postponement.

The source added: “Everyone on the set was told that filming was being stopped again because of a positive test. And since then, Tom hasn’t been on set once."

It also came seven months after Tom was recorded furiously screaming at crew members and accusing them of jeopardizing the film industry after they failed to adhere to strict Covid health and safety rules.

Despite the setbacks, it is understood that Tom is desperate to get filming completed on time as the film industry struggles to bounce back from several lockdowns.

According to  Cornwall Live , Cruise was brought to shore by Triple Seven in the early hours of the morning, before being 'whisked away' in a chaffeur-driven black Mercedes. 

The local publication also reported that a 'silhouetted figure' could be seen on deck at sunrise, however they were unable to confirm whether it was the actor himself. 

As well as filming MI:7 in the UK, Cruise's appearance comes after a film crew moved into a quarry in Wiltshire, with many residents spotting A-list celebs in the area. 

Triple Seven can be chartered for an eye-watering fee of £460,573 per-week, and was last known to be on the market for around £38,000,000 - before being sold recently to an anonymous buyer. 

Facilities on board include a deck Jacuzzi, a gym, a sun deck and swimming platform. The boat also has the capacity to host an inflatable waterslide and carries jet skis, kayaks, wakeboards and jet skis for guests to enjoy.

In the master suite the stylish and contemporary decor - which is believed to have been updated in 2014 - continues, with a huge bed covered in white bed linen and a beige leather chaise longues.

The boat sleeps up to 10 guests in five different rooms, including the stunning master suite, three double cabins, one twin cabin and two pullman beds (a bed that pulls down from the ceiling or folds out from the wall).

The outside living space is just as enviable, judging by the spacious hot tub which is submerged into the decking on the back of the luxurious yacht.

Tom has spent much of the last year in the UK filming the seventh instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise and has been pictured filming action-packed scenes in the Yorkshire Moors in recent months.

During his downtime, the screen star has also been pictured at several big events including Wimbledon and the Silverstone Grand Prix. 

He was also seen mingling with David Beckham at Wembley Stadium for the Euro 2020 final.

Last month, Mission: Impossible 7 filming has reportedly been paused again due to a positive Covid test with crew members speculating it could be Cruise.

Despite there being 'no proof' to back up the idle talk, it has been claimed that people are gossiping it could be Tom, due to his alleged absence on set.

A source told The Sun: 'Filming on Mission Impossible 7 is on hold again because of coronavirus. And this time, those working on the production have said they think Tom could be the possible cause of the postponement.

'Everyone on the set was told that filming was being stopped again because of a positive test. And since then, Tom hasn't been on set once.

INSIDE TRIPLE SEVEN 

• Built by German shipyard in 2006, Triple Seven underwent a maintenance refit in 2016.
• Triple Seven can host 10 guests within her five staterooms, cared for by a crew of 17. 
• She is fully kitted-out with a waterslide, jacuzzi, multiple alfresco dining areas and a lavish interior.
• Triple Seven travels at a maximum speed of 17 knots and cruising at 14 knots thanks to her twin diesel engines.
• The vessel's last-known asking price was €38,000,000.

MailOnline contacted Mission Impossible film representatives for comment at the time.

It is not known whether Tom has received the Covid vaccine or not, although despite being proven to dramatically cut the risk of coronavirus, none of the jabs approved in Britain are 100 per cent effective.

It means some vaccinated people will inevitably get infected without having any symptoms, leaving them unaware they are infected and contagious — unless they get tested. 

In March, it was reported that Tom had  surprised NHS staff to thank them for working though the coronavirus pandemic.

The movie star is thought to have secretly visited the ExCel Centre in East London to 'pay personal tribute to frontline health staff'. 

A source told The Sun at the time: 'He told his team he wanted to pay his personal tribute to frontline health staff who have helped get movies back on track. 

'They were really shocked to see such a huge movie star. Tom wanted to keep it a secret and ensure it was a nice surprise for them.

'The world had heard his rant at crew on set and that proved just how seriously he has taken the pandemic.'

MailOnline contacted representatives for Tom Cruise and the ExCel Centre for further comment at the time. 

The ExCel Centre is a major vaccine centre with another part of the site being used for the NHS Nightingale Hospital's patient rehabilitation facility. 

Elsewhere it was claimed that Tom was reportedly in a rush to finish filming Mission: Impossible 7 in only three weeks. 

Thanks to several delays to the shooting schedule brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, there was said to be only 21 days left to get the film completed.

What a life: The outside living space is just as enviable, judging by the spacious hot tub which is submerged into the decking on the back of the luxurious yacht

A source speaking to The Sun claimed: 'Without them, Tom will be left scratching around for replacements. And if that wasn't enough, he has his own scheduling conflicts.'

The source added that as Top Gun 2 is released in November, Tom will have to begin promotional work for the movie soon.

While the majority of the next Mission: Impossible is already filmed, there was said to be one final big scene to do that involved a speeding train being driven over the edge of a cliff.

MailOnline contacted a representative for Tom Cruise for comment at the time. 

Delays: Last month, Mission: Impossible 7 filming has reportedly been paused again due to a positive Covid test with crew members speculating it could be Cruise (pictured left in 2018 and right in October)

Pictures show superyacht that's brought Tom Cruise to Cornwall

The 38 million euro vessel costing £450,000 a week to rent arrived in Penzance last night, coming from Mevagissey, where Hollywood actor Tom Cruise was spotted coming ashore from it

• 09:14, 22 JUL 2021
• Updated 11:31, 22 JUL 2021

Early risers were treated to the impressive sight of a new visitor in the bay at Penzance this morning (Thursday, July 22,) as sunrise revealed the luxury superyacht Triple Seven, which arrived overnight with Hollywood legend Tom Cruise on board.

The Mission Impossible star was spotted on the huge yacht off the Cornish coast on Wednesday (July 21) - with rumours he is in the UK to work on a film with Simon Pegg.

Photos emerged of 'Triple Seven' in Mevagissey Bay yesterday , along with reports that Cruise was brought to shore before being "whisked away" in a black Mercedes.

Yesterday evening, Triple Seven left Mevagissey, arriving at Penzance at around midnight.

As the sun rose before 6am today, a silhouetted figure could be seen on the deck of the superyacht, although it is unclear if this was the famous actor himself.

The impressive superyacht - which has an asking price of around €38,000,000 - has a whole host of impressive features including a water slide, wake board, knee board, fishing equipment, kite surfers, surf-skis, jet skis, stand-up paddleboards, and an inflatable water park - amongst other things. See full details about it here .

The break of dawn reveals the superyacht anchored off Penzance, seen from Newlyn with St Michael's Mount in the distance.

A silhouetted man can be seen on deck, but is it Tom Cruise on the superyacht, and is he an early riser?

Yesterday, there were r eports claiming Tom Cruise came ashore from the luxury vessel at Mevagissey, before being driven away in a black Mercedes.

A small fishing boat passes Triple Seven at sunrise as it returns to Newlyn harbour to land its catch.

The rumours of Tom Cruise being on board come after people claim to have spotted A-list celebrities in Wiltshire after a film crew moved into a quarry, WiltshireLive reports.

Filming is underway off Long River Road near Westbury , where the gates are watched over by eagle-eyed security guards around the clock.

Many local residents have reportedly spotted world-famous actors Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg in the area, sparking excitement about what he could be filming in Wiltshire.

Tom Cruise was spotted in attendance at several of the Wimbledon matches that took place in London earlier this month, and he was also spotted fist-bumping David Beckham in the crowd at Wembley Stadium for the Euro 2020 final where England faced Italy.

The superyacht Triple Seven seen through a shelter on Penzance promenade.

Triple Seven was built by German shipyard Nobiskrug in 2006, and underwent a substantial maintenance refit 10 years later. Featuring in-house naval design, the luxury yacht company Newcruise were responsible for both her interiors and exteriors.

The impressive 68-metre yacht was once owned by Russian billionaire Alexander Abramov, business partner of Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich.

Abramov reportedly paid £34,068,000 for Triple Seven in 2013

Triple Seven was sold again in August last year, to an unspecified buyer.

The superyacht is in Penzance for what is set to be another very hot day, with an amber warning for extreme heat from the Met Office issued.

Today is due to be the last of the very hot days, though, with the weather turning cooler tomorrow and into the weekend, with a risk of thunderstorms and showers.

Eagle-eyed residents of Penzance will, no doubt, be keeping a look out for the Mission Impossible actor in case he comes ashore again today.

The area is no stranger to Hollywood actors, following the filming of Game of Thrones at St Michael's Mount earlier this year.

Whether the famous actor is on board Triple Seven or not, the luxury superyacht was getting plenty of attention this morning.

Step aboard the superyacht Tom Cruise has chartered for summer

The hollywood a-lister is back in britain to film his latest project. take a look inside the opulent vessel he's staying aboard this summer....

Words: Gentleman's Journal

First things first; let’s get the puns out of the way. Yes , Tom Cruise is back in Britain , filming the seventh instalment in the action-packed Mission:Impossible film franchise. Yes , he has decided to decamp to Cornwall and is spending his summer aboard a superyacht charter. And yes , that does mean that Cruise is on a cruise, that a crew’s cruising Cruise, etc. etc. etc.

But there’s more to the Hollywood A-lister’s summer holiday than cheap puns. Chiefly because Triple Seven — the sleek, stylish superyacht Cruise has chartered off the coast of Cornwall — sold in 2018 for a very un -cheap €45 million. So step on board below; and see what amenities the actor is enjoying this summer…

First up, where will Cruise be cruising his superyacht? For now, it’ll remain by Penzance, as he rejoins co-stars including Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames for his day job. But this is a boat who is just as happy motoring around the Med as she is exploring the deeper waters of the Pacific. Sure, she can handle remote waters; but she’ll be right at home in the French Riviera, too .

Custom built in 2006 by German shipyard Nobiskrug, she clocks in at 68 metres long. Her interiors are the last luxurious word in suave, elegant minimalism — less really is more, gents — and come courtesy of Newcruise Design.

And these interiors give way, in a seamless, natural manner, to the generous outdoor spaces. She’s in peak condition, too, having undergone a complete refit in 2014 — including a full repaint back in 2016.

And now to the good stuff: because Triple Seven really puts the ‘super’ into ‘superyacht’. Cruise’s latest charter is fully equipped for the current heatwave, with a beach club, a gym, a lounge and a fully-stocked bar — plus a teak-laid platform that’ll allow the stunt-happy actor to dive directly into the sea.

It doesn’t end there. There’s also a sun deck jacuzzi; and spa facilities including a steam room and bathing platform. And Cruise better be a watersport enthusiast — because Triple Seven comes with an inflatable kayak and eight paddle boards, as well as an inflatable slide, climbing wall, wakeboard, and both waterskis and kneeboards.

In addition to those water toys, there’s also wind-surfing equipment on board, four mountain bikes and fishing gear. There’s even six sets of diving equipment if Cruise wants to recreate his thrilling subaquatic scenes from previous Mission:Impossible films.

The vessel continues to defy expectations on-board. There’s a cinema in the luxury sky-lounge, and a beach barbecue set-up complete with an inflatable tent, sofas, teak table and director chairs. So, if Cruise wants to throw on a throw-back film whilst barbecuing on-board, he can flick on Top Gun while flipping burgers.

There are six cabins altogether, with room to sleep 12. This is a party yacht, that’s for sure (but Cruise should follow our day drinking guide if he’s planning to party away with co-stars under the Cornish sun…).

Thankfully, his master suite includes a separate office, bathroom and lots of sleepy hidden spaces perfect for recovering in the morning after the night before. There’s a hidden security closet, too; and ‘his and hers’ dressing areas separated by a Portuguese marble bath fit for an Oscar-nominee.

So, whether you too want to live like an A-list actor, or you’re just a superyacht aficionado, why not enquire about following in Cruise’s cruising footsteps and chartering Triple Seven for yourself? Find out more below…

It was owned by Russian billionaire Alexander Abramov  but is believed to have been sold to an anonymous buyer.

“Everyone on the set was told that filming was being stopped again because of a positive test. And since then, Tom hasn’t been on set once.

“Now people are speculating that he could have come into contact with the person who tested positive. And in some cases, people are even gossiping and saying it could be him.

“Obviously there is no proof of that but it’s not stopped people ­gossiping about it. It’s now become a joke on set, with people saying how ironic it would be if Tom was the reason they had to press pause again.”

In December, The Sun released an audio re­cord­ing of Tom, who plays spy Ethan Hunt in the franchise, giving workers at the set in Leavesden, Herts, the hairdryer treatment over Covid.

In an impassioned speech Tom pleaded with those on the production to stick within the rules to avoid further hold-ups.

Marine / Super yacht linked to Tom Cruise arrives in Lerwick

A LUXURIOUS super yacht which has been linked in the media to Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has arrived at Lerwick Harbour.

Newspapers speculated that Cruise may have rented the Triple Seven yacht to take a break from filming a Mission Impossible movie in England.

However, an alleged sighting of Cruise coming off the boat in Cornwall in late July is thought to have been a yacht staff member who sported a resemblance to the movie star – leading to suggestion he may not actually be on board.

Nevertheless, the yacht is certainly a different sight in Lerwick Harbour in amongst the Dim Riv and the lifeboat.

It is reportedly is worth 38 million Euros and costs more than £400,000 a week to hire.

It arrived in Lerwick this morning (Monday) after sailing up from the west of Scotland.

Tom Cruise was nowhere to be seen despite the Hollywood star’s £33 million yacht arriving in Leith .

The Mission Impossible actor was said to be taking a break from filming the seventh instalment of the franchise in Hertfordshire by sailing around the East Coast of Scotland on the opulent Triple Seven.

Crowds gathered at Ocean Terminal to catch a glimpse of the massive boat after it docked, but fans were to be left disappointed as the 59-year-old was no longer on board.

Instead, mystery guests were whisked away in a blacked out Mercedes people carrier after crew members had given the vessel a clean.

Cruise had previously chartered the yacht to sail around Cornwall during time off from filming.

It arrived in Leith at around 10:15pm on Tuesday evening having left Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands last week.

Triple Seven was built by German shipyard Nobiskrug in 2006, and underwent a maintenance refit in 2016.

The 68-metre boat can host 12 guests within her six staterooms, cared for by a crew of 17. She is fully kitted-out with a water slide, jacuzzi, multiple alfresco dining areas and a lavish interior.

The yacht has a whole host of impressive features including a wake board, knee board, fishing equipment, kite surfers, surf-skis, jet skis, stand-up paddleboards, and an inflatable water park - amongst a host of other toys.

Estimates put Cruise's wealth at around $600 million - which is just as well as the superyacht can be chartered for an eye-watering fee of £460,573 per-week.

It was previously owned Russian billionaire steel magnate Alexander Abramov but is believed to have been sold to an anonymous buyer in recent years.

As Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker celebrate their wedding festivities on board a luxury superyacht, take a look at the other yachts chartered by A-list celebrities looking for some respite away from shore, including Tyson Fury, Michael Jordan, Leonardo di Caprio, Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Regina d'Italia | Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker

Codecasa superyacht Regina d'Italia hosted a high-profile charter group in May 2022 as Kourtney Kardashian and her family stayed on board in the lead up to her wedding with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The celebrity newlyweds were joined by their famous family and celebrity friends as they anchored off the Italian seaside town of Portofino, close to the hilltop villa where the ceremony was held onshore.

Measuring 65 metres LOA, Regina d’Italia was delivered in 2019. The two-toned silver and white yacht allegedly belongs to Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who were the designers chosen for Kourtney's wedding dress. The interiors, which can sleep up to 14 guests and 16 crew, were reportedly designed by Dolce and Gabbana themselves in an elaborate style complete with leopard print rugs and gilded furniture. Little else is known about the superyacht’s features except that she is equipped with a gym and a five metre swimming pool on the sundeck. She can reach a top speed of 17 knots and has an ocean-crossing range of 5,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots.

Regina d’Italia is currently not openly listed on the charter market.

Casey wasserman reveals tom cruise’s payday for death-defying olympics stunt: nothing.

It’s been a month since Tom Cruise stole the show during the Paris Olympics closing ceremony, and people are still talking about it. By people, at least one person (today), and it’s precisely the guy you still want to hear from right about now: Casey Wasserman .

Casey wasserman slams daily mail for reporting claims about personal life: "consider the source", wasserman buys talent management firm to grow creators business.

“It’s amazing how fast he got to L.A., isn’t it?” Wasserman joked during a CNBC x Boardroom: Game Plan panel at Fairmont Miramar Hotel and Bungalows in Santa Monica. The session, titled We Got Next: LA 2028, featured Wasserman seated alongside Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, LA28 board of directors member Jessica Alba, Team USA managing director Grant Hill and moderator Andrew Ross Sorkin of CNBC’s Squawk Box . Sorkin then asked Wasserman to give the audience the backstory of how it all came together.

“The backstory is that we realized we were producing a 15-minute live TV show, and so I hired who I think is the best person in the world to do that,” explained Wasserman, heaping praise on super producer and live TV guru Ben Winston. Wasserman continued by saying that Winston had two ideas after he was hired, one of which was Cruise while the other was making the Olympic rings appear out of the ocean “like a David Blaine kind of thing.”

“The best part of the story is we pitched on a Zoom, and the original idea was a person in the stadium as a stunt double,” Wasserman explained. “We’re like, ‘Well, there’s no way we’re getting this. We’re going to get four hours of filming time. We’ll do the thing that the L.A. with the Hollywood sign, he’ll hand the thing off and he’s done. Maybe we’ll get the other stuff and the rest will be just a stunt double.’ About five minutes into the presentation [Tom Cruise] goes, ‘I’m in. But I’m only doing it if I get to do everything.'”

After the Zoom ended, Winston then called Wasserman. “He says, ‘Don’t get too excited. He loves doing this stuff, but when his team realizes how many shooting days it’s going to be and rehearsals, this is never happening. I’m telling you I got it, but it’s never happening.’ Sure enough, every step of the way, he got more involved and more engaged.”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , Winston said the original plan called for a balaclava-clad stuntperson to the heavy lifting, but Cruise again brushed that aside. “I don’t think there’s anybody like him in the world,” said Winston, who heads up Fulwell 73 Productions. “There is no better collaborator.”

Another fun moment from today’s panel came when Wasserman said that they were able to pull off the Hollywood sign filming in secret thanks to a “one of those weird, lucky L.A. things.” He was referencing how the cameras that are always streaming the scene around the Hollywood sign just so happened to not be on when Cruise was in the vicinity. “I don’t know what happened, Andrew,” Wasserman quipped. “The cameras didn’t work that day and we were able to pull it off.”

For the record, Hollywood Sign Trust chairman Jeff Zarrinnam confirmed that they were in on the security camera outage. “Even our own cameras, our security cameras were turned off and not recording during this stunt,” Zarrinnam previously told NBC Los Angeles .

During the lively panel discussion, Wasserman also saved some praise for Paris and the people of France. “The French team deserves a lot of credit,” he noted. “They reminded people why people fall in love with the Olympics. … It’s been a long time since you had a really beautiful, high-engaged global city that had the resources and the time and the opportunity to take advantage of what the Olympics can be, and they did it spectacularly. To me, the greatest thing they did was they energized the people of France and those stadiums were full and excited, and you saw the results for the French teams being remarkable.”
