A 98-foot superyacht, Angiola II, sank off the coast of Sardinia on Tuesday evening, just four days after its delivery to a new Italian owner following a refurbishment. All 14 people on board were rescued without injury, 12 by a nearby boat and the owner and a friend by a patrol vessel. The yacht, built by Italian shipbuilder Permare in 2020, capsized after an engine failure reportedly caused a fire and allowed water to enter. The exact cause is under investigation. The vessel now rests on the seabed at a depth of 7 metres, and authorities plan to use a 200-ton pontoon for recovery. Its reported price varies: British sources say £3.8 million, while Italian media estimate over €8 million.
