Rachel Miller, a witness, said to WSVN-TV: “We saw, like, a bunch of cop boats, like police boats, and there was another yacht that was flipped over, completely vertical in the water.”
Coast Guard Rescues 32 Passengers Safely
The US Coast Guard and a boat nearby came to the rescue immediately, retrieving all 32 on board without any reported injuries. The passengers were taken to Miami Beach Marina. Images from the rescue depict the yacht with just its bow above water, close to being completely submerged.
Salvage teams of commercial nature removed the ship, which was certified not to be a threat to navigation. Investigation into the cause of the incident is underway. The owner of the yacht remains unnamed but the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 model is itself an exclusive status symbol with a global production volume of only 11 units.
