9.1 Million Euro Superyacht Sinks Near Sardinia After Engine FirePreviousNext

A 9.1 million euro superyacht, Angiola II, sank off Sardinia's Costa Smeralda four days after delivery following an engine failure that caused a fire. The 98-foot vessel, carrying 14 guests and crew, caught fire near Porto Cervo, leading to water ingress and sinking to about 23 feet deep. All onboard were safely rescued without injuries. Authorities secured the site, reported no fuel leaks, and plan to recover the yacht while monitoring the area.
