Dozens of social media influencers had to be rescued Saturday afternoon after the 63-foot Lamborghini yacht they were traveling on began to sink off the coast of Miami Beach, Florida.
All 32 people aboard were safely evacuated from the boat, and no injuries were reported, according to authorities.
The yacht — called the TNT, per the Miami Herald — started taking on water near Monument Island around 5 p.m., prompting an emergency response from multiple agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and local marine patrol units.

Witnesses described a dramatic scene as first responders arrived.
“We saw, like, a bunch of cop boats, like police boats, and there was another yacht that was flipped over, completely vertical in the water,” Rachel Miller told Miami’s WSVN-TV.
Passengers on the sinking vessel, though, were reportedly “nonchalant” to any potential danger and continued filming and taking selfies because the boat was in shallow waters. Videos shared online showed one joking about the Titanic.
The cause of the sinking is under investigation. Some media reports have suggested the yacht could have been over capacity.

“Commercial salvage is attempting to recover the vessel and isn’t a hazard to navigation,” the U.S. Coast Guard wrote on social media, adding a “special thank you to the Good Samaritan boat operators in the vicinity who also rendered assistance.”
