This cruise was a total washout for these wannabe celebs.
Around 30, budding, bikini-clad influencers took a luxurious Lamborghini Tecnomar out for a spin in the waters off Miami Beach on Saturday – only to have their hopes for a picture-perfect jaunt sink when the posh yacht started taking on water.
The glamorous but clueless bunch cracked jokes and appeared mostly unbothered by the harrowing ordeal.
The Coast Guard and a good Samaritan boat swooped in to get everyone off safely – with many of the influencers able to save their most prized possessions, including a MacBook and a $350 bottle of Clase Azul Gold tequila.
The pricey booze was cradled by former Miss America competitor Regan Hartley on a rescue boat while someone else shouted, 'The baby is safe,' according to one video.
Social-media footage showed the rescued young women taking photos or videos of their sinking yacht from afar.
'No f**ks given,' an Instagram user noted of the blasé attitude of the group. 'Everyone on the sinking yacht taking selfies.'
The high-end boat began sinking near Florida's millionaire haven of Star Island around 5pm, and was nearly vertical as its 32 passengers and crew members rushed to the deck, the Coast Guard said.
Some of the attention-seeking wannabe trendsetters provided a behind-the-scenes look at their brush with disaster.
A series of videos from a model and stylist showed the women, now all in life vests, standing on the top of the sinking, 63-foot, black and white boat as each is led onto a Coast Guard vessel.
'Sheesh,' a woman can be heard saying as each one was rescued. 'F**k, f**k.'
After the group got off the sinking yacht, the woman posted a video of the Lambo boat nearly submerged with only the front of the boat still peeking through.
'How did this happen?' another woman can he heard saying in a second video posted by aerial dance instructor Anita Ayala.
Another young woman can be seen in a separate video holding tight to her MacBook laptop in footage posted by Miami guide Luis Leon Martinez.
'Women and children first, women and children,' a man can be heard jokingly shouting as some of the already saved women laughed.
Officials said the women were taken to the Miami Beach Marina.
Authorities have not identified the owner of the yacht nor details of why it went under.
'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,' witness Rachel Miller told WSVN-TV News.
The Tecnomar is a limited-edition fleet of just 11 ships designed by the high-end Italian car maker.
One such boat belongs to former MMA fighter Conor McGregor, who bought his for $3.6 million in 2021.
