Footage has emerged of the moment the 46m motoryacht Moatize crashed into a wharf in Cairns Marlin Marina after suffering from a technical fault. The captain and crew were able to respond to the situation in an appropriate manner and fortunately no one was hurt.

The incident occurred when the yacht was docking at the Cairns marina at around 6pm on Saturday night. The vessel only suffered cosmetic damage but collided with the pier very close to waterfront diners and, as a result, part of the marina and a nearby restaurant have closed while the site is restored.

Following the incident, local press interviewed  Moatize ’s captain about the cause of the crash and his response. “We came [into the marina] and did a tight turn… and our starboard gear was stuck ahead when I selected the go astern,” he told local news outlet The Daily Telegraph .

“We used the bow thruster to come over into a clear vision, went astern to exit the marina, but it was still going ahead at all times. We took control in the wheelhouse to try and see if it was a technical fault on the controls, but it was still going ahead again. So, we did what we’re trained to in collisions: we shut down all engines, dropped an anchor and thank God we selected a nice spot where there were no personnel.”

Regarding the damage caused to the boat and the affected infrastructure, he added; “I am not even worried about the money and neither is the owner. We are just making sure that everyone here is still functioning, that no one is put out, and there is no injury – that’s our only concern.”

Video: Multimillion-dollar Superyacht Crashes into Marina as Diners Left 'Screaming and Very Frightened'

A luxury superyacht suffered a mechanical fault over the weekend and was caught on camera crashing while docking at a marina in Cairns, a city in Australia.

The vessel, known as the Moatize, hit the gangway and narrowly missed a restaurant trawler called Prawn Star, which uploaded videos showing the mishap to Facebook. The incident occurred at Marlin Marina on Saturday shortly after 6 p.m. and is under investigation.

"It was scary, people were screaming and very frightened. But no-one was hurt and that's the most important thing," the manager of Prawn Star, Kay Green, told local media outlet ABC . "One of the customers said he felt like he had been in the [Hollywood movie] Speed 2, " they added.

A probe is being conducted by the marina's operator, Ports North, but it is not believed the crash resulted in injuries. The Moatize was eventually guided to the berth without further incident.

Speaking to 7News , the man behind the wheel of the superyacht, Jason Chambers, explained how the crash unfolded, saying a gear became jammed which left the boat stuck in a turn.

"We used about thrust to come clear, went astern to try and exit the marina but it was still going ahead at all times," he said. "We took control in the wheelhouse to see if it was a control fault, it was still going ahead so we did what we're trained to in collisions. We shut down all engines, dropped an anchor and thank God we selected a nice spot where there was no personnel.

"You had a restaurant on the right hand side, you had a lot of people straight ahead, I had a gap with a lot of small vessels on my starboard side so that was my best solution, come over where there was no personnel," the skipper added. The boat was damaged on its left-hand side but the marina crash did not result in serious breakage. It was mainly cosmetic, Chambers said.

The first video showed a close-up perspective of the crash, while a second clip was filmed from a distance. A loud crunch could be heard as the Moatize hit a ramp leading to the restaurant.

Never a dull moment at the Prawn Star. Everyone was safe but a little shaken after this happened yesterday! Thank you to our amazing crew for handling it so well. Posted by Prawn Star Cairns on Saturday, August 10, 2019

Chambers confirmed that the boat had come from Brisbane and would be in Cairns for a couple of weeks, but declined to disclose the identity of its owner. According to the Cairns Post , it is owned by a local coal baron called Michael O'Keeffe. It remains unclear exactly how much the vessel is worth, but multiple local outlets described it as a "multimillion-dollar" superyacht.

The skipper told local media he was not concerned about the financial cost of the crash.

"Not even worried about the money to be quite honest," Chambers stated. "We are just making sure everyone here is still functioning—the businesses—and there is no one here that is put out and there is no injury. That is our only concern. That is everyone's concern."

For the FULL story make sure you catch the local news tonight OR read Cairns Post tomorrowThanks Sarah Jones for sending this through to us :D Posted by Prawn Star Cairns on Saturday, August 10, 2019

One of those businesses impacted, Prawn Star, made light of the incident online. The trawler was briefly closed after the collision and has temporarily been moved to another area of the docks. News.com.au reported it was at full capacity at the time of the crash, holding 60 people.

"Never a dull moment at the Prawn Star," the company wrote on Facebook. "Everyone was safe but a little shaken after this happened yesterday! Describing the night of the incident, Green told ABC yesterday: "Our crew handled it perfectly, they kept their calm, got everyone off the boats and got everyone settled down and since then the spirit of cooperation has been fantastic."

The footage of the incident has attracted hundreds of comments and shares since being uploaded online over the weekend.

At the time of writing, the short video showing the up-close Moatize collision has been viewed more than 130,000 times. "So glad everyone is okay and no injuries. [It] could have been much worse. Way to stay calm and handle a very scary situation," one person wrote. Another Facebook user joked: "Crew on yacht wanted to see if you had [a] drive-thru service. Glad all are OK."

Cairns crash

This is the incredible moment a multimillion-dollar superyacht went careering into the Cairns Marlin Marina.

Nobody was hurt, but visitors enjoying the sunset ended up with quite a dinner show when the Moatize simply failed to stop as it made its way back to the wharf.

Watch the video above.

The company was upfront about the incident, posting video on its Facebook page on Sunday morning.

"Never a dull moment at the Prawn Star," the post read.

"Everyone was safe but a little shaken after this happened yesterday! Thank you to our amazing crew for handling it so well."

In the video, deckhands can be seen waving frantically, warning people on the wharf.

‘F**k Albo’: CFMEU rally turns feral

Footage of a multimillion-dollar superyacht crashing into a wharf in Cairns has emerged showing terrified diners watch on.

The 45.6m yacht Moatize lost control just after 6pm last night when a mechanical problem caused one of its engines to lock into full speed.

The quick-thinking crew were seen at the front of the yacht waving their arms and telling people to get out of the way as other members dropped the anchor to minimise damage.

The Moatize crew were praised for quickly slowing down the superyacht, meaning other boats at the marina were only slightly damaged.

Diners at the Prawn Star, a converted-trawler restaurant, watched on as the superyacht kept coming closer and closer.

Despite the close call, no one at the restaurant, which was at its full capacity of 60 people last night, were injured.

Prawn Star even embraced their dramatic Saturday night, posting footage of the near miss to their Facebook page.

“It was scary, people were screaming and very frightened. But no one was hurt and that’s the most important thing,” Prawn Star’s business manager Kay Green told the ABC.

“One of the customers said he felt like he had been in an episode of (the movie) Speed 2 .

“I offered everyone free beer but they said it was the best entrainment they’d had for years so they weren’t really bothered about free beer.”

The Prawn Star was forced to close after the crash due to the superyacht damaging the marina’s berthing pontoon.

Ms Green stayed positive and said she expects the restaurant to be back up and running soon.

“Our crew handled it perfectly, they kept their calm, got everyone off the boats and got everyone settled down and since then the spirit of co-operation has been fantastic,” Ms Green said.

Ports North, which operates the marina, is still investigating however no spills from Moatize were reported.

The hotel was ranked in the top 50 best hotels in the world – beating some of the globe’s most luxury locations in cities like New York and London.

A bus driver has been rushed to hospital after they were allegedly stabbed outside a shopping centre.

We selected for you top 4  yacht stories  of the last week at  Yacht Harbour .

Kylie Jenner hosts birthday party on EUR1.1-million-a-week superyacht Tranquility

Last Saturday,  the youngest self-made billionaire ever Kylie Jenner  celebrated her 22nd birthday aboard 91.5-metre Oceanco  charter superyacht Tranquility  off the coast of Italy, according to entertainment news outlet TMZ. The vessel was formerly known for her ownership by Jho Low under the name Equanimity, before she was  seized  and  auctioned  by the Malaysian government.

Kylie Jenner is a renowned media personality, member of the Kardashians family, businesswoman and the founder and owner of Kylie Cosmetics company launched in 2015. At the age of 21, she was named The Youngest Self-Made Billionaire Ever by Forbes (still, the title that many tabloids call in question). 

The makeup mogul’s personal net worth is currently estimated at $1 billion, while in 2018, her company’s revenue increased at 9% to an estimated $360 million. At the moment, the company is worth no less than $900 million, while Jenner owns a 100% stake.

Built by Oceanco in 2014,  Tranquility  has been hitting headlines since summer 2018. In August 2018, the Indonesian authorities  seized Low Taek Jho’s superyacht at the request of the US Department of Justice , and  transferred her to Malaysia . It is alleged, that the yacht was originally purchased by Low Taek Jho using money embezzled from the 1MDB state fund.

Shortly afterwards, Tranquility was put on sale as a part of the effort to recover funds stolen by Low and his cohorts from the state fund. In April 2019,  the deal was closed on the vessel’s acquisition by Genting Malaysia Bhd for $126,000,000 , which made only half of her initial price. In the meantime, the vessel’s  maintenance had cost the government over $3,500,000  since her reclaiming in August 2018.

Tranquility was the first superyacht designed and built to be fully Passenger Yacht Code (PYC) compliant. She features exteriors by Oceanco’s in-house design team and interiors by Winch Design.

The yacht can accommodate up to 26 guests on-board, along with 28 crew members. The yacht is also trademarked with extensive spa area on the lower deck, plunge pools and customised interior. 

Tranquility’s interior was designed by Andrew Winch and along with Travatino Veluto marble and bleached oak with wenge finishing, the decor has a subtle, oriental influence.  In the upper saloon, a fully operational, perspex-cased piano is a spectacular show piece, and there’s a luxuriously comfortable lounge area as well as a formal dining room for 12.

46m superyacht Moatize crashes into a wharf with a restaurant

On Saturday evening, a  45.6-metre superyacht Moatize  smashed into Cairns marina (Queensland, Australia) while attempting to moor. The port has remained closed since the accident, reports Sunrise.

The vessel crashed into the port heading to the converted-trawler restaurant Prawn Star Cairns, making diners rush out of their seats. Fortunately, no one of the restaurants full capacity of 60 got injured though.

According to some reports, a mechanical problem caused one of the yacht’s engines to lock into full speed. Meanwhile, the crew frantically tried to minimise possible damage. 

The crew members were seen at the bow waving their arms and warning people to move way, while the others dropped the anchor at the time. Thus, they managed to slow down the vessel quickly, ensuring other boats at the port got only slightly damaged.

The captain of the Moatize  told 7NEWS Cairns  that the starboard gear stuck as they were making a tight turn. No fuel spills were reported, although the marina operators are still investigating.

The Prawn Star had to close after the crash, as the superyacht had damaged the berthing pontoon. Still, the restaurant’s business manager Kay Green told the ABC remained positive on the restaurant to be back up shortly.

‘Our crew handled it perfectly, they kept their calm, got everyone off the boats and got everyone settled down and since then the spirit of co-operation has been fantastic,’ she said.

With interior volume of 509 tons, the yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests within interior designs by Redman Whiteley and exterior designs by Dubois Naval Architects.

Canadian billionaire’s 96m superyacht Faith spotted in Sardinia

The 96.55-metre Feadship superyacht  Faith  has been recently spotted at anchor in the bay of Cala di Volpe in Porto Cervo, Sardiania. The vessel is believed to belong to Lawrence Stroll, a Canadian billionaire with current  net worth of $2.6 billion . According to Forbes, the owner’s previous yacht was sold to a renowned fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger.

Lawrence Stroll is known for masterminding the American fashion brand Michael Kors’ hugely successful IPO in 2011 with a Hong Kong fashion tycoon Silas Cho being his business partner. Thus, the largest part of his fortune comes from selling his shares in Michael Kors; with the last stake sold in 2014. Moreover, Mr Stroll has been a part-owner of the SportPesa Racing Point F1 Team Formula 1 team since 2018.

First known under the name  Vertigo , the superyacht was  built by Dutch yard Feadship in 2016 . Redman Whiteley Dixon was responsible for the exterior design of the vessel with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, while Chahan Interior developed the interiors and De Voogt Naval Architects worked on the naval architecture. 

The elegant curves of Faith’s streamlined profile feature proportion and harmony, with the same applied to the characteristically Feadship lines of her flared bow, which features a games deck and helicopter landing pad with a hangar for a Bell 429 WLG helicopter below. 

The sweeping hull line leads down and aft towards the main deck aft, home to an extraordinary swimming pool made of glass panels that also form the ceiling of the beach club below. Creating this 68-millimetre-thick construction involved laminating together five layers of clear glass interspersed with foil. To make matters even more complex, the deep end of the 42,000-litre pool has an S curved shape and descends to 2.5 metres. 

The vast sea-level beach club beneath the pool almost doubles in size when the transom and fold-down side terraces are open. Doors in the hull further forward allow launching Vertigo’s custom tenders, which are Feadship-certified in a partnership with Tenderworks.

The yacht’s main deck is a home to a cinema and serves as a prime real estate location for the guest accommodation section, which includes six staterooms (two VIPs), a hairdressing saloon and a dedicated pantry.

The vessel’s interiors feature large floor-to-ceiling windows maximising the natural light and ocean vistas. Set-piece elements include the double-sided fireplace in limestone & quartz and decorative glass screens that separate the main lounge from the dining area forward, as well as the floating staircase which combines stainless steel, multi- textured stone and blue leather with a wealth of lighting in an exceptionally detailed way.

Overall, the superyacht accommodates up to 18 guests, as well as a crew of 34. The owner’s cabin is located on its own private deck, highlighted by an imposing full-beam forward-facing stateroom with 180-degree views and a three-metre-high skylight ceiling above the bed. 

77m explorer superyacht Yersin joins charter fleet from EUR 600,000 per week

76.6-metre explorer superyacht Yersin  has just joint charter market for the first time, with  SuperYachtsMonaco  appointed as her central agent. Built by French shipyard Pirou in 2015, the vessel is now available from €600,000 per week.

Named after the legendary 19th-century scientist and explorer,  Yersin  strives to combine state-of-the-art technology with a range of 15,000 nautical miles for serious exploring.

Boasting a full-displacement steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Yersin has Ice-Class classification for all-weather sailing, with her exterior profile was designed by Pierre Jacques Kubis. Conceived as eco-friendly world cruiser, Yersin has been awarded with Clean class notation for her potentially low impact on the environment. 

The yacht’s versatile layout includes accommodation for large groups plus ample space for pilots and local guides. Her key onboard features include a media centre, library, private cinema, onboard spa, observatory and a vast sundeck with a swimming pool. In addition,  Yersin  disposes of onboard dining options including two large formal dining rooms for 12, along with two bars.

Yersin’s  interior can accommodate up to 12 guests across a master suite, VIP stateroom, two doubles and four twin cabins. Finished in light oak with steel and leather accents, each cabin features a full ensuite bathroom plus IT and entertainment systems. The yacht also has accommodation for a 24-person crew with additional cabins for helicopter/seaplane pilots.

Located on the upper deck,  Yersin’s  full-beam master suite features a chic modern design with oak flooring and Zebrano veneers. Opening onto a private deck area, the suite comes with a kitchenette, an office and an all-white bathroom finished in Corian quartz with a luminotherapy shower.

Styled by the owner’s own design team, Yersin’s light interior has a fresh modern feel, finished in contrasting shades of oak and Zebrano, while overhead sky-lights highlight her collection of modern art, and a six-level elevator provides guests with easy access to each deck.

On the lower deck, Yersin has a spa and gym area to meet onboard fitness and wellbeing requirements. The area is equipped with a hammam, hairdresser, massage room and spa pool.

The vessel’s top deck is dedicated to relaxation with a large swimming pool and built-in sunbeds and loungers for unwinding in the sunshine. A shaded outdoor lounge area is the perfect spot for after-dinner drinks as the sun goes down.
