Dozens Rescued from Sinking Yacht Off Miami Beach
Thirty-two people were rescued from a sinking yacht off Miami Beach this weekend, officials say.
The rescue happened around 5 p.m. Saturday near Flagler Monument Island, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The small man-made island houses a 110 foot-tall obelisk monument that was built decades ago to honor Henry Flagler, a key developer of Florida’s east coast. Monument island is near the luxury Hibiscus, Star and Palm islands, where many famous celebrities live.
Pictures shared by the Coast Guard online show more than a dozen people, some wearing life jackets, on board the 63-foot vessel. Other photos show the yacht submerged, with the ship’s nose jutting out of the water.
Several other agencies, including from Miami Beach, Miami, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and some “Good Samaritan” boat operators, also helped with the rescue, according to the Coast Guard.
Dispatch calls and witnesses described the ship as a “Lamborghini vessel” though the boat’s exact model has not been confirmed, according to Miami Herald news partner CBS Miami.
Yachts Worldwide, a yacht-dedicated social media account, identified the boat as a $4 million Lamborghini Tecnomar in a recent video it posted of rescue crews responding to the sinking boat.
The Coast Guard said no one was injured and that the ship was in the process of being recovered. The FWC is leading the investigation.
