The Italian coast Guard rapidly sprang into motion and rescued all 4 passengers and 5 crew members. The vessel was heading from Gallipoli to Milazzo when it sank.

The vessel, My Saga, was crusing on Saturday night when the coast guard responded to a name from the crew that the boat’s stern was filling up with water, as per a report by Bloomberg.

The coast guard responded rapidly and dispatched a ship to the yacht and efficiently rescued all onboard.

The 129-foot tremendous yacht sank on Saturday (August 20) within the Gulf of Squillace, about 9 nautical miles off the coast of Catanzaro, Italy.
