Thirty-two passengers were rescued Saturday evening after a multimillion-dollar luxury yacht started sinking off the coast of Miami Beach.

The yacht — a 63-foot Tecnomar for Lamborghini that costs an eye-watering $4 million — was taking on water near Flagler Monument Island, a popular man-made island in Miami's Biscayne Bay.

Multiple agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, responded to the scene to help the stranded passengers.

The boat was carrying twice its capacity when it started sinking. The Tecnomar for Lamborghini can hold a maximum of 16 people on board, as noted on the Lamborghini Miami website.

The limited-edition Tecnomar for Lamborghini — created by Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group — weighs in at 24 tons and can reach a speed of 63 knots, or around 72 miles per hour. The high-end yacht was inspired by Lamborghini's super sports cars, according to the Tecnomar Yachts website.

Rules and guidelines don’t apply to some people. As far as ‘eye watering’ $4 million? In that area the lambo might be a skiff to some.

I’d like to see this thing doing seventy miles an hour with people standing on the deck.

I wonder if insurance can refuse to pay put.

Looks like it sunk only a couple hundred yards from shore.

Notice some on board - I might go down with the “yacht” but I’m taking my phone with me..

“You scratched my anchor!”

Saw a brand new speed boat sink at anchor in the Santa Rosa Sound during our Pirate Festival a few years back.

Overloaded with people and it just went in like a second. PLOP!....

Sea Tow had to pull it out of the water with a power winch that snatched it up in a few seconds.................

The boat was carrying twice its capacity when it started sinking.

"limited-edition" time

[Red Badger]

Well, it is Sinko de Mayo.................

[dfwgator]

I blame the French...

[1Old Pro]

Captain must be an idiot, overloads the boat and probably forgot to put in the bilge plug.

[Red Badger]

Those information plaques they put on boats aren’t there just for the heck of it..............

[grobdriver]

Bet they forgot to put the drain plug back in.

LOL

The NY Post headline : Over 30 bikini-clad influencers stranded after $4M Lamborghini luxury yacht ‘flipped over’ off Miami Beach

Would overloaded be justification for insurance to refuse a claim?

[V_TWIN]

I saw that, which is why I used a different source.
