Police were called to the blaze on the 85ft (26m) vessel at Princess Pier in Torquay, Devon, at about 12:10 BST on Saturday.
Members of the public described hearing a bang, before seeing a huge plume of black smoke. No injuries have been reported, Devon & Cornwall Police said.
Emergency services declared a major incident and officers evacuated a nearby beach and roads.
The boat, which police said broke from its mooring, was secured by the fire service near the marina's pier before it sank.
The Environment Agency (EA) said it was believed to have had about nine tonnes of diesel on board.

Watching the F1 practice and qualifications I can’t help wonder if some Russo oligarchs are enjoying the sea and sun while their fearless leader burns down 2 countries.

And, was it deliberate? And if so, was it set ablaze by a Russian, a Ukrainian, or?

No mention of the owner in any article. Could be the reason it isn’t mentioned.
