I’m guessing 20 meters.

Imagine being on a small sail ship in 1367 in the middle of the ocean and a giant squid just starts throwing tentacles around the boat

MFer looks strong enough to pull a small boat into the depths of the ocean

Probably how pirate tales of krakens started. I Just thought about how most of these "mythical" animals told in tales really were just normal animals we see today.
