Flaming Yacht Drama Unfolds at Botafoc Marina

Flaming Yacht Drama Unfolds at Botafoc Marina

A luxury yacht dramatically caught fire at Ibiza's Botafoc Marina, leaving locals and tourists stunned as thick smoke billowed across the island's skyline. The sleek Jaguar 72 HT | Lefty, a prime charter vessel built in 2021, erupted in flames on Monday afternoon while docked, prompting a robust response from fire crews who battled the fierce blaze for hours. Fortunately, the yacht was empty, mitigating potential tragedy. In a bid to control the inferno and halt environmental harm, a containment barrier was erected to thwart oil spills, while neighbouring yachts were moved to safety. The yacht, after undergoing rigorous recovery procedures, was eventually salvaged and towed for repairs. Insurance investigators are now delving into the cause of the incident, which has left a palpable buzz among Ibiza's vibrant nautical scene.
