Yacht Sinking at Haulover! ABANDON SHIP!

Рік тому

A Sunseeker 52 Manhattan yacht catches on fire and the boat starts to sink at Haulover! The fire was put out immediately, most likely by the yacht's fire suppression system.
The yacht began taking on water and rescue boats arrived to start the rescue and recovery right away. Everyone was taken off the boat by Sunny Isles Police and taken safely back to shore.

Glad everyone was safe. Fantastic footage.... and thank you to whomever edited the video for not adding a bunch of annoying background music.

thanks Brian. our boy on the drone is killer, so lucky to have him for the last few years!

Its up for sale on a local Miami brokerage. They must of got it back to dock, made some repairs and cleaned it up... buyer beware.. These are typically $2m yachts. This one is marked down to $1.4m.

do u have the link for it?

@Gardis72 Рік тому

Do we know why it was taking on water??

@mareewalker1096 Рік тому

No way will someone pay 1.4 mill! There is salt water all through the bildge under flooring on lower deck! Plus engines may of taken in water! Yes you can fix it BUT people spending 1.4 million are no fools! I'd say 800k is it's worth if they can even sell it! They may end up giving it away for maybe 400k if there lucky to get a buyer! Even 400k is a lot of risk! And engine fails rust will cost more than 400k! It's toast! Happy sailing all and God bless all 🛥⚓❤🙏

@MISTERLeSkid Рік тому

How does a small, extinguished fire cause a hull to start taking on water? Something has to either breach the hull or open a seacock for that to happen?

@deksea Рік тому

perhaps the fire, assuming it was in the engine compartment, ruptured an exhaust or cooling line that was open to sea.

@danielcave7065 Рік тому

That boat is not sinking. They’ve simply lowered the hydraulic swim platform at the rear. It’s virtually impossible for such a small fire such as this to sink a current model Sunseeker

@frankz5864 Рік тому

Doesn’t look like it’s sinking, looks like they’ve lowered the stern swim/dive platform.

@bradleylopez6056 Рік тому

Agree

@ls60fd Рік тому

I'm far from a boat guy and I thought that too, that some of the nicer boats have a swim platform that can be lowered and raised. Also to launch the dingy which this boat seemed to have too. Might have been a fire since there was smoke and it disabled the boat.

@tedspeed3338 Рік тому

Yeah, If you look at 6:30 the waterline paint is pretty even front to back

@Realhighlife Рік тому

They lowered the platform so they can get to dinghy in the water

@ericvonp Рік тому

If it was my boat I would’ve had the passengers board the surrounding many boats with a sense of urgency while the tow boat rig a line already. But hey, hopefully they have insurance.

Life Jackets and where is the tow line? Surely should have been quickly hauled in, perhaps has.

@reighbh13 Рік тому

relatively modern boat too. Are the standards for licences quite stringent or can any Tom, Dick or Harry buy a boat and take it out without fully understanding the systems onboard and how to deal with issues when they dont go to plan.

@robdog1245 Рік тому

You wouldn't need a captain for a boat that size. USCG 6 pack/Near coastal licenses are pretty tough to get, I just got my 100 ton and its not something Joe Schmoe who's never been on a boat before would be able to do. In this case, it looks like they had a captain (maybe? guy in the white shirt who stayed aboard) and he seemed to be pretty competent, he got everyone off first then started helping the towboat guys.

@816928 Рік тому

You can go rent a sailboat for a week in the Virgin Islands and have no earthly idea what you are doing. Credit card captains. I am not sure if you can get away with that here but there are certainly people with enough means to purchase this type of boat and have no boating experience whatsoever. I doubt it would be insurable but that never stopped stupid before.

@dr.strangelove7739 Рік тому

Why arent they running the bilge pumps?

@bayardtaylor2990 Рік тому

@susanhighfield8284 Рік тому

Did they tow it to a dock or just let it sink? Looks like they were pretty close to shore.

@Ben-ph7pv Рік тому

How many people were on that yacht?

@ostreds Рік тому

Holy calm waters......

@CodyBosch Рік тому

Forgive me for sounding like a peasant, but does something this new come with a warranty? I feel like this yacht is too new to be having issues. And I realize that it’s a boat and all boats have problems regardless of age, but still.

@kristinejackson8268 Рік тому

You would think the rescue boats would have some gas powered pumps too keep the yacht from sinking so it could be pulled too dry dock.

@ZipZapPower Рік тому

they do, priority is to get everyone off then save the boat, it was towed back in later that day.

@purdyboi8078 Рік тому

Note the large hose coming out of the engine bay of the yacht, over to the green boat(starboard side) & then into the water next to its engines...causing that brackish water you can see being pumped out(3:36)

I could imagine, you have a 2 million dollar boat sinking, and someone is flying a drone around to capture your misery.

It doesn’t look like it’s sinking at all; they’ve just put the hydraulic platform down in order to launch the tender.

@ZipZapPower Рік тому

look at 04:12, the yacht is listing and you can see the pump hoses across the stern and deck running from the green recovery boat.

@AnsonBelvin Рік тому

@@ZipZapPowerYes, but the list could also be caused by the 6 or 7 people on the port side disembarking the vessel.

@dougnval Рік тому

not sinking, lowered the swim platform into the water to deploy the dingy. Probably just an engine failure.

Didn't look seaworthy to begin with on first glimpse, kinda' top heavy, and I don't know boats or yachts. Glad it got saved from sinking.

@crazyfroggie6546 Рік тому

@tektkite7255 Рік тому

water got inside of it, this causes the boat to then sink

@crazyfroggie6546 Рік тому

@@tektkite7255 Sarcasm aside ... how did the water get in, was it the propshaft seals/bearings failure or what?

@tektkite7255 Рік тому

@@crazyfroggie6546 it is impossible to say. I think there was another video where there was smoke coming from the vessel, but fires usually dont breach the hull. The boat does not seem to have a catastrophic leak because it is sinking very slowly and it was refloated by pumping water out. it could be many things, a small hull crack from hitting a structure or a water intake that broke. It could be as simple as a sea water cooled engine manifold had a break in its sea water supply.

@crazyfroggie6546 Рік тому

@@tektkite7255 i only asked because it was listing badly at the stern, the bathing platform was underwater, so the water was right at the back then.

@tektkite7255 Рік тому

@@crazyfroggie6546 it would not matter where the water came in. the water will level within the boat regardless where the leak is. big ships will have compartments that contain leaks but sports boats do not. the bilge will run front to back. most boats sit bow up so the stern will sink first

@jamesrichardson1 Рік тому

LOL the boat is not sinking that rear deck lowers into the water to allow the tinder to be launched.

@jejoko Рік тому

Yes, the deck lowers, and yes, they did lower it to launch the dingy, but the boat was taking on water and would have eventually sunk if not for the towing team there. SOP for a sinking vessel is that all people are rescued first, and then operations to rescue or salvage the boat can begin if at all possible.
