Lamborghini yacht sinks

At least it looks like several of the young ladies thought ahead about safety, and had some built-in flotation devices. :unsure: :ROFLMAO:

Is this Lamborghini the same company as the car company?
 
Not only did they have flotation but there was plenty of butt-floss and nasty thigh ink. Was it my imagination or was the de-watering pump dropping the output right back where it came from?

I tbought the same thing about the outflow. Another angle later showed it not going back in. Maybe it started out shooting the water back in, then someone adjusted the outflow hose.

These boats were built by an Italian yard (Tecnomar) with styling from the car company.
 
and this one

 
As a captain I have always crossed off any Italian boat off the list when recommending / advising customers. Electrical systems are almost always overly complex with no manuals or diagrams. Mutts, Ferrettis, etc.

Another high profile incident was the 130 footer belonging to singer Marc Anthony which went up in smoke in miami a couple of years ago. While the cause was a candle in a stateroom, it turned out they had to use candles because they had lost all the lights in the staterooms and neither the captain nor the engineer could figure it out …
 
Speaking of complex, I've been watching videos of the many offshore fishing boats of different styles at the Miami Boat show. All I can say is they are incredible, both the outboard and inboard vessels. Mostly my interest has been focused on boats above the 35' range. What incredible systems we have today and my hat is off to the captains who can efficiently and effectively run these boats. These are not vessels for the weekend captains. While these systems make doing a job easier it still requires that one knows how and when to use the features they provide. If I were 20 years younger I would be considering selling the condo and pulling cash out of investments and making my beach place be a boat. Damn, it is a good thing I'm too old for all that would require.

We've seen some mature folks bringing boats over to the Abacos and Exumas.
 
nowadays it’s all about big center consoles which have taken over both the go fast and fishing markets, as well as the cruisers. Anywhere between 40’ and 60’, some with five 500hp outboards and price tags up to $3M!

Not a great picture being a screenshot from my helm cam but a group of them arrived yesterday at Compass Cay as we were leaving… all made by MTI boats. As I was backing out and pivoting, it occurred to me it would have been a lousy time to have an engine control malfunction… must have been over $30M right there 6’ off my bow! And another couple of millions worth of plastic surgeries :)

Some of the CC boats have a pretty impressive cabin if you're headed offshore for a few nights. I'm still thinking that unless a person uses the boat very often then he will "forget" how to use many of the features especially with the electronics. I know I used to have a refresher need each spring after not using the boat for a few months.
 
Most have a double berth and enclosed head, all AC of course. Some squeeze in and other single berth aft. Impressive designs.
 
details on that Lamborghini. If you skip to the part where he is driving, he is moving the steering wheeel quite a bit at 40 kts in those swells

Not to mention that many have above deck seating that a person can really stretch out on. I've often slept open air nights on the water, even prefer it to ac at times.
 
They are thinking water came in through the opening at the passarelle

I can imagine. We were at Staniel when a CC pulled in with the stereo blaring. They left the boat at the dock with the stereo up loud and went to the club. I let the office know, and they went aboard and turned it down. The owner (a frog) came down and cranked it up again.
I used to gripe about the mega's in the Exumas but a slew of CC's pulling in could be worse. A mess of party animals in CC's at Compass would ruin the environment. Glad we got it done before all of this came about.
