A sleek 63-foot yacht, reportedly a Tecnomar Lamborghini 63, experienced a near-sinking incident off Miami Beach on Saturday while carrying 32 passengers, many of whom were social media influencers. The U.S. Coast Guard responded swiftly, rescuing all individuals on board without any injuries reported. The yacht began taking on water near Monument Island in Biscayne Bay, prompting the Coast Guard’s Sector Miami to initiate a search-and-rescue operation.
Fortunately, the vessel did not hit the bottom, allowing responders to use airbags to keep it afloat temporarily until the owner could consult with a salvage company regarding its future. Eyewitness videos from other boats and those aboard the yacht captured the chaotic scene, including light-hearted comments from passengers, one jokingly referencing the Titanic while the yacht sank stern-first.
The Tecnomar Lamborghini 63 yacht’s passenger capacity varies based on individual configurations, with listings showing capacities of 12 to 16. It weighs 24 tons in total, giving a general guide for handling weight. The Miami Herald noted that a similar model is on the market for $4.7 million, but there is a stipulation against sale in U.S. waters to U.S. residents, leaving the reasons unclear.
Currently, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the cause of the incident, although details remain sparse. There were no immediate responses from a representative connected to the yacht listing regarding the situation. In summary, thanks to prompt Coast Guard action, all aboard were safely rescued during this memorable and alarming incident.
