    In the video, the woman reporting the incident stated "it was a million dollar yacht"...

    It's a 2004 116' Azimut... add a digit honey! :rolleyes:

    That would be you Carl.
    Interested in any photos & details of the damage incurred.
    Like to know how these babies really are made.
    Only one way to find out - break'em up!
    Ouch. :eek:

    Unfortunately, I'm playing the role of the anchor for next few weeks, not the field reporter. If news comes across the wire, I'll interupt our regularly scheduled program. ;)

    Really sad to see this! Does anyone know her name, it could be the first Azimut 116, TV. I don´t know how much of the 116ft serie yachts, Azimut already launched?

    Does anyone know is the yacht has finally been put back on water, or is it still on the rocks at the moment ?

    She has been freed, but half of the time the news refers to her as a 90'. :rolleyes:

    Another Azimut went into the rocks off of hillsborough inlet a few years back. I believe it was a 70 foot SeaJet. It will be interesting to see if this was a captain error or a major mechanical failure. I would lean towards a mechanical failure.

    Well one more sad news (after Mirabella V, Zeas Marina in Greece...). According to the few that I saw on the video, I can say that this 116ft Azimut is "TV". I saw her in Monaco during the last summer. When you look at the video, you can see the "TV" logo on the right of a blue square on the stern...
