Saturday evening, passengers aboard a 63-foot, $4 million luxury yacht, the Tecnomar for Lamborghini, found themselves in trouble as the vessel began taking on water near Flagler Monument Island. The island, located in Miami's Biscayne Bay, is a popular destination.
In response to the emergency, multiple agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, rushed to the scene to help the distressed passengers. Remarkably, all 32 individuals were rescued without injury, according to a spokesperson from the Miami Beach Police Department.
As the Coast Guard struggled to recover the vessel, they assured it no longer posed a hazard to navigation. They expressed gratitude to the Good Samaritan boat operators nearby who also lent their assistance.
According to reports, the yacht was carrying twice its designated capacity when it started sinking. The Tecnomar for Lamborghini is designed to accommodate a maximum of 16 individuals, as per the Lamborghini Miami website.
The Tecnomar for Lamborghini, a collaboration between Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group, weighs in at a substantial 24 tons and boasts a top speed of 63 knots, or roughly 72 miles per hour. Inspired by Lamborghini's iconic super sports cars, this limited-edition yacht delivers an exhilarating marine experience.
The sinking of the luxury yacht occurred during the Miami Grand Prix weekend, a Formula One event taking place May 2–4 at the Miami International Autodrome. The 2024 edition attracted over 275,000 in-person fans across the event's duration, according to the Formula One website.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is currently investigating the matter. Preliminary findings suggest the incident might be linked to the yacht carrying more occupants than recommended, potentially leading to safety issues.
