In the realm of maritime luxury, the quest to offer yacht charter guests the perfect night's sleep has become an art form, one which luxury bed and linen supplier, CC Design, has fully committed to.
A 49-metre (147-foot) Aegean superyacht known as 007 reportedly sunk in Greece this morning. The incident, which took place last night and into this morning, occurred off of the Greek island of Kythnos.
The superyacht 007 ran aground on Friday evening, causing an inflow of water that gradually tilted the vessel.
The coastguard answered mayday calls and discovered the vessel in a semi-submerged state, though the five passengers on board were not in danger and were quickly rescued.
The yacht has now been stabilised by the coastguard in an almost fully submerged state. An initial investigation of the incident is now also being carried out at the Port of Kythnos.
A statement from the coastguard read, “In the evening hours of Friday, the Port Authority of Kythnos was informed by the Unified Center for Coordination of Search and Rescue LS-EL.AKT., that the yacht "007" of the flag of Great Britain, has run aground in the sea area of Kolones Bay, Kythnos with five foreign passengers.”
The superyacht 007 was launched as Amazon A by Turkish shipyard Aegean Yacht in 2006. She was originally 32m (104ft) in length but has since undergone at least two major extensions, to a length of approximately 49m (147ft).
