Just watching the Night Agent. They have a Tardis yacht. It looks 40ft max on the outside. Same sort of size as my Sigma 36. Down below however it takes them 5-6 steps to cross the width of the saloon. The Sigma has 1 step. It looks like a 70-80ft on the inside. Do Hollywood always do this? Are the embarrassed about how cramped (cozy) sail boats really are?

Doubt you can fit a camera dolly and lights inside a Sigma36 - so it's probably a set somewhere.

There should be an award for most unrealistic scene involving a boat. For me Nicole Kidman recovering Sam Neil from man overboard with one hand whilst doing probably 6 or 7 knots would be a winner. Contrast that with firing a flare at your crews mouth which is totally relatable!

The expansive interior exceeding the obvious area available from an exterior view is not new or unusual, although the Tardis is perhaps the optimum example of this effect, but a short film made in North Wales in 1949 'Noson Lawen' (based on a story by Sam Jones) demonstrates the effect well in that the scenes in the kitchen/parlour show a room far larger than could have been achieved in the farmhouse that was used for the exterior shots.
A production which avoided this effect was 'Brookside' which was recorded using an estate of newly built houses, some were modified internally for production engineering etc. but most were used as as the sets themselves.
