Luxury superyacht sinks in Greece

A video has captured the moment a 49-metre luxury superyacht sank in Greece with five people on board.

The incident occurred following a GPS malfunction off Kythos Island on Friday night.

The captain attempted to bring the '007' to shore at Kolona Beach but hit the rocks, causing an inflow of water that tipped the vessel.

The passengers were quickly rescued without injury, and an investigation has been launched into the incident.

Why no name of the owner? The yacht flies an English flag but has a Swiss owner! There’s a story there but where’s the follow up? Who were the 5 passengers?

First thing I would do is collect anyone in the area working for " SPECTER ".
Then I would bring in any old guys who have big fluffy white cats as pets.
I would also interview any women in town with ridiculous names like
Pussy Galore, Xenia Onatopp, Plenty O'Toole, Holly Goodhead or Lovey Cravesit.

I've never seen a ship sink so high above sea level … double embarrassing.

Sensible when money is low.. INsurance job..

A lot of yachts are sinking lately or just going up in flames.

NO DOUBT...this yacht was purposely "scuttled" for the millions of Euros of insurance money.

Good Lord...

I've been hearing a lot about superyachts sinking as of recent...

They're lucky it didn't sink in the middle of the ocean in the dead of night with icy cold water like the Titanic did. Did James Bond cause the demise of this Spectre superyacht yet again? That's the end of operation "Thunderball". Well done, James.

Didn't look like it sank to me, looks more like a beached whale🙂

That captain will be serving fish and chips next.

[mikefontaine]

You know how many Yachts have been sinking lately they're doing it for the insurance money.

Seems to be a spate of this. I can only hope it happens to more of them. The normal people are beset by inflation and limited energy while the swells go around harping about climate change while burning up more fuel on a trip on their boats and planes then we will see in a year, if we are lucky.

*Wow that Captain won’t even be able to work as a mall cop after this!!😱*

[Stuart_Cox]

The James Bond franchise sunk as well, maybe it was a statement?

[steve_anderson]

I heard it was only to be... "a three hour cruise, a three hour cruise."

[mjef]

Any of these super yachts sink way out in the ocean or are they close to shore?

It's like the yacht fainted. Probably can be righted and repaired.
