Perth Now06-05-2025

A group of around 30 influencers stepped aboard a luxurious Lamborghini Tecnomar to enjoy a relaxing cruise around Miami Beach on Saturday but it started to go horribly wrong when the boat started taking on water and the $4million yacht started to sink.
The Coast Guard and Good Samariton boat quickly came to help the sinking yacht and shared details of rescue on social media.
'A U.S. Coast Guard Station Miami Beach crew and partner agencies responded to a 63-foot vessel taking on water near Monument Island, rescuing 32 people with no injuries reported around 5pm, Saturday.'
Many influencers seemed unbothered by the sinking yacht and continued to take selfies throughout the rescue while others prioritised saving their most prized possessions, including a MacBook and a $350 bottle of Clase Azul Gold tequila.
The expensive bottle of booze was cradled by former Miss America competitor Regan Hartley on a rescue boat while someone else shouted, 'The baby is safe,' according to the Sun.
Some of the influencers have shared videos of the ordeal on thier social media pages, Luis Leon Martinez a self-proclaimed Miami Guide with over 250,000 followers has shared multiple videos of the influencers being rescued, showing many of them laughing, drinking and passing thier designer handbags to members of the coast guard.

'Women and children first, women and children,' a man can be heard jokingly shouting as some of the women laugh from the rescue boat.
Many were shocked by the blasé response from the group and flooded the videos with comments.
'Everyone on the sinking yacht taking selfies' one person commented.
'No f–ks given,' another wrote. On the left one influencer can be seen clutching her Macbook, on the right a Coast Guard is passed a designer handbag. Credit: Instagram
It still remains unclear exactly why the boat sank but commentors on the Coast Guard's Facebook post have speculated that there was too many people on board the 63-foot vessel.
'The tecnomar Lamborghini 63 is CE certified by RINA for 12 pax….. 32 is a way overloaded' one person wrote.
'Over capacity against the law for a Bare boat charter. Typical Miami' another suggested.

Beloved NZ star of Xenaverse dies on birthday

Beloved New Zealand actress Marise Wipani has died on her 61st birthday. She is treasured for her roles in the television universe that encompasses Xena: Warrior Princess, and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. She was also a popular presenter on NZ television, and worked on movies including the 1985 adventure comedy, Came a Hot Friday. 'Marise passed peacefully today on her 61st birthday surrounded by family and friends,' a statement shared on her Facebook page said. It said Wipani 'just wanted to say' her final goodbye with a nod to Driving Miss Daisy. 'I have shuffled off this mortal coil. Goodbye, good luck, good God!' she said. Tributes began to flow online for the 'eternal Queen Kanae from Xena: Warrior Princess.' 'A fierce performer, a presence of wisdom and spirit. Her voice echoes in the woods. Her legacy lives in every warrior,' one fan said on X. New Zealand-Australian actor and singer Jay Laga'aia, who worked with Wipani on the 1991 drama series Soldier Soldier, was shocked to hear of Wipani's passing. 'I saw this and quickly checked that it wasn't some kind of sick joke. Sister, I am devastated to hear this news,' he wrote underneath the statement shared on her Facebook. 'You are so young and I will miss you. We have worked together over the years and I was always so pleased to have you on set. Travel well, my sister, love you always.' Another man, who described Wipani as 'the one that got away', also paid tribute to the star. 'You are one of the strongest people I've known, and you did things your way. A huge loss to the world, I love you and always have.'
