WATCH: The Dramatic Moment a 40-Metre Superyacht Sinks Off the ... (Man of Many)

Social media has been flooded with footage of a 40-metre superyacht sinking off the coast of Italy, demonstrating the power of the ocean.

“The maritime personnel of the Saga who were on board the tugboat were transferred to the Coast Guard patrol boat to be accompanied to the port of Catanzaro Marina.” The first four passengers and a crew member were rescued via the Romanian patrol boat and subsequently moved onto the patrol boat, where they were then taken to the port of Catanzaro Marina, while the shipping company contacted a towing company from Crotone to try to recover the vessel. Needless to say, this isn’t the last we’ve heard of this Saga. The worsening of meteorological conditions, with the gradual and increasing tilt of the unit on its own straight, have made any attempt to beach the yacht, unknowingly in a short time, impractical. [Italian press has identified as the ‘Saga’](https://www.catanzaroinforma.it/senza-categoria/2022/08/20/yacht-affondato-a-soverato-i-particolari-di-quanto-accaduto-la-scorsa-notte-nelle-acque-catanzaresi/257307/), can be seen swaying violently from one side to the other, caught in a torrid crosswind that threatened the lives of all on board. According to the Italian coastguard, the [luxury vessel](https://manofmany.com/rides/boats) ran into troublesome waters around 14.5km off the Catanzaro Marina, a famed tourist destination favourite by the rich and powerful.

Super Yacht sinks off shores of southern Italy (Economic Times)

A super yacht "My Saga" sank off the coast of Italy in the Ionian Sea, which was 40 meters in length and people watched in horror as the incident happened.

[Tim Heywood Design](/topic/tim-heywood-design). The causes of the boat sinking are being investigated. The Italian coast guard shared the footage of the incident, and you can see the white-coloured gigantic luxury boat sink stern first into the swallowing waters in [Catanzaro Marina](/topic/catanzaro-marina). Initially, the boat is seen floating in the video, and the sea is rough around it. Brought nine five crew members and four passengers to safety before the boat sank by the Italian coast guard. The name of the beautiful boat " [My Saga](/topic/my-saga)" seems quite ironic, as it is swallowed by seawater.
