Key Points:
- A 98-foot superyacht, The Angiola II, valued at $9.1 million, sank off the coast of Porto Cervo, Sardinia, just days after being delivered to its new owner.
- The yacht caught fire due to an engine failure, began taking on water, and eventually capsized, but all 14 guests and crew onboard were safely rescued with no injuries reported.
- The owner, believed to be an Italian businessman, and another passenger were the last to leave the vessel, waiting for Italian authorities to arrive.
- The half-submerged yacht was secured on the ocean floor to prevent drifting, with no fuel leaks detected; Italian authorities plan to use a 220-ton pontoon boat to recover the vessel.
- The incident is currently under investigation by the Italian Coast Guard.
