$25 million superyacht smashes into moored boats
Several boat owners in the Italian Riviera will be waiting a while before they can take their vessels out for a spin, after a $25 million superyacht smashed into a number of moored boats in Portofino.
The 50-metre British luxury yacht, Tales, hit six boats as it attempted to navigate the tight space. Thankfully, no-one was injured in the incident.
“At the time there was a party of eight onboard, as well as 12 crew members,” a spokesperson for Portofino’s harbour master told The Mirror. “After it had raised its anchor and was on its way out, the captain could not disengage the gears and it continued sailing backwards, hitting the boats.”
The damage bill is believed to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. We hope they have insurance!
