On Saturday, a 63-foot yacht, carrying 32 social media influencers, nearly sank off Miami Beach near Monument Island. The U.S. Coast Guard received a distress call about the vessel taking on water and quickly initiated a search-and-rescue operation. All individuals aboard were successfully rescued or evacuated without injuries, as confirmed by Petty Officer 3rd Class Nicholas Strasburg. The boat, which did not hit the bottom, was assisted by Coast Guard responders who used air bags to keep it afloat until its owner could decide its fate with the help of a salvage company.
The yacht is a Tecnomar Lamborghini 63, a model with variable passenger capacity based on customization and layout. While one for sale in the area lists a capacity of 12 people, the overall limit is generally guided by its 24-ton capacity—critical for understanding weight management. Similar yachts have been priced around $4.7 million.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, videos posted by those on board depicted a laid-back atmosphere, with some passengers joking that the vessel had hit an iceberg, reminiscent of the Titanic. Onlookers from nearby boats also filmed the incident, showing the yacht sinking stern-first.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the incident, although details regarding the cause remain unclear. A contact for the listing of the yacht declined to comment on the situation. This event has drawn attention not only for the rescue but also for the influencers who documented the unfolding drama on social media.
