Motoryacht Cocktails Runs Aground

Posted on by

Photograph from the land of a yacht that ran aground. It is close to shore. There are 2 red tugboats on either side of the yacht. The white yacht is leaning to the right side of the photo. 2 people dressed in black and red are watching from shore. There is a ship at anchor in the background.

How do you take your cocktails – straight…or on the rocks?

ROCKY DAY

The owner of motoryacht Cocktails, a Miami-based mega yacht charter vessel, ordered rocks.  For example, it was the “rocks” that left his multi-million dollar baby a bit tipsy.

Friday, the 85-foot motoryacht, Cocktails, ran aground near Nobska Beach in Woods Hole, Mass. This happened after hitting a rock about 100 yards offshore.  The Coast Guard specifically said that the skipper grounded the vessel to keep it afloat.

INJURIES?

No luxury yacht charter guests were onboard at the time of the incident.  Only the skipper and one crew member sailed. 

 

HOW WAS THE YACHT MOVED?

No fuel was spilled, and after dewatering the motoryacht, tugs towed the vessel to Fairhaven for repairs.  In New England for the summer, it is expected Cocktails will be fixed in time to return to Miami for the winter Florida yacht charter season.

There were no reports of any injuries…except to the skipper’s pride…
