Beautiful animal!

It would be great to know the size of the boat

That boat is 25 feet, 7,62 meters. Asked from that company doing those tours. So it looks like, that estimation of 6 meters, which is mentioned in many places is quite realistic.

@GuateGojira Pardon me if my vision is inaccurate, but there seems to be a discrepancy between this picture and the first picture. Let me put them together:

In the first photo, the croc's head appears to be so large so as to occupy roughly half the height of the man with the white shirt, but in the second photo, the head seems just about big enough to consume 2 human heads. Maybe it's the position of the camera in the first pic that makes it look bigger. The reason why I got suspicious was because of the first photo's similarity with a photo-shopped pic that made a croc look bigger than it actually was:

This is a good example how difficult it is to make estimations from photos/videos if there isn´t something to what compare and which is same in both photos or then some object in different photos, which has known measurements to compare.

I made a quick photo, where is pointed out, that when comparing to height of railing, length of crocodile head is the same, approximately twice the height of that railing. So if there is some photoshopping in that first photo, where crocodile jumps, then that is quite minor.

Yes, I was using the people in the 2 photos for comparison, especially the guy with the cream hat and white shirt, who seems small compared to the lady behind him. Merely comparing him to the crocodile would make the croc look huge indeed, but with the railing, and with the other people, including the seemingly tall woman, it becomes different, I wonder if the guy is crouching so as to appear short in the photo:
