Get ready to be shocked as you witness the unbelievable moment when a luxurious £95 million superyacht collided with a smaller boat carrying at least six passengers. The incident took place off the coast of Yalıkavak, Turkey on Saturday, as the 232 ft boat named Ice gracefully glided through the water towards the other vessel.
As the footage captures the scene, screams can be heard from the passengers on the smaller boat as they realize the superyacht is heading straight towards them. The bow of the massive vessel then crashes into the stern of the 101ft motor yacht, causing significant damage. It has been reported that there were at least six people on board the smaller boat at the time of the collision, but the reason for the accident remains unclear.
Fortunately, despite the major damage to the stern of the smaller boat, no one on board was injured. The superyacht, which is a part of the renowned Lürssen shipbuilding company, can accommodate up to 14 guests and 27 crew members. Its impressive features include a helipad, beauty salon, and bathtubs carved out of solid limestone. There is also a state-of-the-art gym, jacuzzi, and numerous lounge and relaxation areas, both indoor and outdoor.
The Coast Guard has launched an investigation into the incident to determine the cause of the collision. This is not the first time such a tragic event has occurred on the waters. In June, during a yacht race, two boats were involved in a devastating crash, and a sailor was thrown overboard. The incident took place during the Round the Island Race in the Isle of Wight, where competitors were battling rough seas.
In a heart-stopping moment, the man was flung from the boat and had to cling onto his life jacket before being rescued. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution quickly came to his aid, despite the extreme conditions, and successfully pulled him from the water. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety measures and precautions while out at sea. Let us hope that such accidents can be prevented in the future.
