Luxury Yacht grounds on rocky Maui shore, filling bay with spilled diesel

Billionaires proving to be shitty sailors....

I don’t like to post anything until I find out the full details, but as of now here is what I know. They were not properly tied up to a state funded mooring. They also apparently over extended their stay. They broke loose of their mooring while they were below deck. They were not able to get back on deck in time. When they did in fact get back at the helm and started the engines, they accidentally went forward instead of reverse and went straight into the reef.

All eight aboard were rescued, but sadly they did not get their deserved Captain Cook treatment.

Someone’s full-time crew about to get the shit sued out of them.   

That's not a luxury yacht and no self respecting billionaire would be seen in that piece of shit. That's the boat of a DFW realtor who overextended his credit to get it.

Gotta watch the whole thing again.  Still great.

Yeah, that is not a billionaire's yacht. That would be about the minimum length boat needed in the waters off the coast of Hawaii, probably about 42ft. And the bottom hull needs repainting. Shit, it probably isn't even crewed.

Here's a 40ft for comparison. A 2012 is about $500K.

sounds like someone at sea in their boat rental spied @Hank_Hill's wife's ass on the beach and tried to get a little too up close...

^^^  It's more than 2X that size:

Still only $6-8 mil so his point is valid. Not a billionaire's yacht.

The costs from this type of mistake will most like be pushed to taxpayers. Even a well-off person can't afford to pay for an environmental cleanup.

I would hope the company renting the boat has insurance for this kind of thing, but I'm sure that will be a long legal battle to determine if the operator disqualified their insurance claim by not following the contract rules.

Ahoy polloi!

That bay definitely looks like it has FILLED with spilled diesel.  

"the boat's owner" is apparently classified info

If this were the founder of pornhub, everyone here would be blaming the rocks.

Don’t blame him. Seriously though fuck this guy. He’s about to get the freeze from every person on this island. Moored for 48 hours on a mooring that has a 2 hour limit. Company didn’t drain the boat before ditching it. This is also on the local government and CG though, she sat there for 24 hours without anyone draining the fuel or setting up a protective barrier. God knows what this is doing to the reef. Fucking shame because this is one of the best reefs on Maui. Here’s a not dead turtle pic from a dive of mine there to make everyone happier

He was also on board at the time. So his "I have dumbshit employees" excuse is out the window.

 

Edit - Owner of boat is also the owner of the charter company that leases it.

perhaps if a couple of assholes were completely financially ruined, it would act as a deterrent to other assholes to be assholes.

Hey, I'm pretty limited in my knowledge of secret squirrels. Last I saw, you and a very attractive woman (from South America) wanted to sell faceless tapes. Short synopsis of the rest of the story?

Did she have legal representation when you presented her with the prenup to sign?

Surly slipping.  I read the title and fully expected this to be post #2.

Sounds like the charter company crew has some explaining to do.

This thread is classic Surly. The Surly 2% (wink wink) start running at the mouth about what a POS yacht it is, acting like it’s a dinged up old Jon boat that they’d be embarrassed to be seen in. They’ve probably chartered a fishing trip a couple of times at a bachelor party in Cabo or something, and now they are yacht experts. Too funny. Never change Surly.

This is all true. Still doesn’t make that boat (which is indeed very nice) a luxury yacht.

This is a luxury yacht:

Not to get all pedantic on you but I would call that a superyacht. Anything over 40’ or so I would refer to as a yacht. Once they start to get ridiculously massive, 80’ or maybe 100’ and up, then that’s a superyacht of mega yacht. And they are all luxurious yachts to me.
 

 

A billionaire would use that yacht. How is that even a discussion?

Clearly it’s your run of the mill, over-extended Dallas realtor type yacht. Not even luxurious.  Keep up bro.

A billionaire would get that dinghy to leave at his fourth home port for when he has to fly in in a hurry instead of waiting for his actual yacht to arrive.

So you're the expert. How was that trip to Cabo?

Rich people fucking shit up w/ zero consequences; an American tradition like no other. 

You really think rich people in other countries are different?
