Luxury yacht sank in Sinop
The 'Familia' began taking on water on the evening of May 30, 2026, at its berth in Sinop and developed an increasing list to port side and going down by the stern at the same time. The six crew members were evacuated quickly and without injuries by rescue teams. The AIS turned off at 2.51 a.m. On the morning of May 31, the yacht had settled on even keel on the bottom with the hull being completely submerged, leaving only her superstructure above water. When the ship started to tilt, heavy rain fall was recorded. However, the cause of the sinking was currently unknown. Operations were initiated for pollution prevention. The 'Familia' had arrived at the Sinop Pier on May 28. Efforts have now begun to salvage the yacht. The 'Familia' was delivered in 2024 by the shipyard Bering Yachts as 'Phnx'. She was recently relaunched following the completion of an extensive six-month refit, which included a two-metre hull extension.
