Here’s what Yahoo News reported:

Thirty-two people were rescued after a yacht party ended in disaster with the $4.5million vessel sinking off the coast of Miami Beach.

Pictures had showed the Lamborghini boat’s sundeck filled with a group of influencers during the Formula One weekend in the city.

But on Saturday afternoon, the 63-foot vessel started taking water near Monument Island, a popular island in Miami’s Biscayne Bay.

Footage from the yacht showed female passengers being passed orange life vests before rescue teams, including the U.S. Coast Guard, arrived.

Others on board could be seen taking pictures of the sinking yacht while one person joked “iceberg, iceberg”.

The stranded passengers were taken to Miami Beach Marina, while the luxury yacht, one of a limited-edition fleet of just 11 ships designed by the high-end Italian car maker, sunk further into the water.

“Everyone went to the top of the boat, and then we realized half the boat was in the water,” one passenger told CBS News Miami.

Officials have not yet confirmed what caused the boat to start sinking. A USCG social media post confirmed that no-one suffered injuries.

Witness Rachael Miller told CBS News Miami that she caught a glimpse of the yacht sticking upright in the water.

Per Fox News:

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.
