63’ Tecnomar Lamborghini yacht sinks in Miami

Smells like a charter… if that’s the case the captain and owner is going to have to answer some questions… and the insurance isn’t going to cover.

In Miami now. Tied up at the Venetian waiting on family. Even on a Sunday there were many“charter” ops going on here just like I have seen at Miami Beach Marina. Slip neighbor put 13 and 2 crew on a 48 Sea Ray last night for about a 4 hour cruise. Not for me but plenty of it going on. I don’t care much for Miami but maybe it’s me not liking big cities.

I dunno about this being a charter: 30 bikini girls doing tequila shots would ride for free on my boat.

It's hard for me to imagine 30 skinny women sinking a 63' boat.

Agree, not an overload or a high center of gravity issue..

The usual suspects were probably at play, a hose or hose clamp could have failed or an engine water pump, lots of possible scenarios..

(A friend of mine on a 44’ sailboat in Biscayne Bay called a mayday requesting rescue as the bilge was full of water and sloshing over the floor boards, turned out his 400 gallon fresh water tank had let go and he never tasted the water for Salt OR Fresh. No doubt on the bikini yacht however)

On the other hand I've seen a few homes wrecked by just one skinny woman.

Aye Capt. Ralph, meh thinks the 7 bodies were accommodations, like cabins and bunks, not total load, or total pax.

A 63 foot boat can probably handle 3,000-4000 pounds payload and another 5-6000 pounds fuel, water and stores, except a Nordhaven, Add 30 -40k for it.
Let’s say these skinny little bikini girls averaged 107 lbs each, times 30, then 2 fat guys, a 220 lbs Captain and a 155 lbs mate, well within limits.
Horrible accident it was not, but in sheltered and warm waters with lots of rescue and support vessels in the immediate vicinity, the babes partied as the tub was sinking.
Wish I was there.

Too many people for sure but surely that wasn't the root cause of taking on water? 32 people is likely less then 6,000 #'s so wouldn't be enough weight to be the cause of the sinking for a 63' boat. I wonder if we will ever hear the real story?

Guess you guys didn't see the 39' Seavee at Boca Bash this year, boat had a tower and 56 people on it. Supposedly water on the floor the entire day and bilge pumps going.
