Horror as $4.5M influencer-laden yacht SINKS off Miami... after glam women made a rookie maritime error

Daily Mail​04-05-2025

Dozens of glamorous bikini-wearing women were frantically rescued from a sinking Lamborghini yacht off the coast of Miami Beach.
On Saturday afternoon, about 30 women jammed onto the luxurious vessel - made for just five passengers - for a boozy day in the sun during Formula One weekend.
They flaunted their ritzy excursion online - posting videos of themselves popping champagne and dancing as they laid out on the boat.
But chaos erupted when the $4.5million yacht started rapidly tipping over and sinking, quickly turning the flashy outing into a dire situation.
Footage from the yacht, shared by passenger Lauren Nicole, showed orange life vests being passed around as the women gathered together, nervously waiting to board rescue boats.
Pieces of the Lamborghini 63 yacht were seen floating in the water as Lauren shouted 'f*ck my life' in a panic.
Multiple emergency vehicles rushed to the scene as the women were quickly taken off the boat - now quickly vanishing into the ocean.
Despite the disastrous scene playing out around them, the women did not appear to let it get in the way of their million-dollar good time.
They flaunted their ritzy excursion online - posting videos of themselves popping champagne and dancing as they laid out on the boat - during the calm before the storm
Social media posts showed them still partying - laughing and dancing as they watched the yacht sink from the safety of their lifeboats.
One of the cruisers was seen cradling a bottle of Clase Azul Gold Tequila she managed to swipe off the yacht.
As she hugged the $330 bottle of liquor while grinning, she and her friends shouted 'baby is safe!' and 'the women and children are okay!'
'Why God, why? Why did you do this to us?' Lauren exclaimed as she sailed away from the boat.
Meanwhile, shell-shocked onlookers whipped out their phones to capture the dramatic moment the Miami Coast Guard swarmed the yacht from the shore.
Authorities said 32 people were saved from the boat, according to CiberCuba. No serious injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
The incident is under investigation, as the 63-foot yacht was packed way over its intended capacity.
The limited-edition Lamborghini 63 series, which is a joint venture between the Italian car company and The Italian Sea Group, is only meant to fit five guests and two crew members.
Despite the Lamborghini drama, Lauren shared video later in the day from a lively event at Miami's Jungle Island proving the Miami girls-trip was far from ruined by the dangerous setback.
Formula 1 weekend at the Miami Grand Prix is a three-day annual car racing event hosted at the Miami International Autodrome.
The highly anticipated event is categorized by its lively events, drawing in hundreds of thousands of sports fans and high-profile celebrities each year.
On Saturday night, a lavish Carbone Beach party in Magic City was attended by Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany.
Mahomes was seen enjoying a bottle of beer at the bash while mingling with the likes of Brady, American rapper and singer Jelly Roll and other guests.
According to Page Six, the couple were mingling backstage with Jelly Roll, who took to the stage later in the evening to perform some of his best hits.

Formula Legends' ‘F1 across the eras' is so good, you wonder why nobody did it already

Gaming With a playable demo out now, TG checks in with one of our most anticipated racing games Skip 10 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Formula One's best asset isn't the Netflix show or the upcoming movie. It isn't even the audio library of Kimi Raikkonen's best team radio lines, which will surely sustain the next century of meme creation. It's the heritage. The 75 years of history, iconic machinery, immortal heroes and feats of unfathomable bravery. Odd, then, that indie simcade racer Formula Legends is something of an outlier for encapsulating the sport's various historical eras in one experience. When we first saw the reveal trailer and digested the concept – an accessible, cartoonised take on circuit racing featuring unlicensed takes on F1 cars from the 1960s to present – we got quite excited. Having taken a deeper look at the game, which now has a playable demo live on Steam from 6 June, that excitement is now veritably bubbling. Advertisement - Page continues below The first thing that stands out about the racing is the quality of AI opponents. They jostle with each other in braking zones and take varying lines through turns, which really shouldn't be a rarity in the modern genre but somehow is. 3D Clouds founder Francesco Bruschi explains: 'We don't have a learning AI. It's very simple, but very tuned for the feeling that the player's in a real race. What you've seen is our first pass at that, we're not at the finish yet. I want a clean race with maybe some [AI] mistakes and different strategies. My first priority is to bring my racing experience to our development.' You might like And that might be the secret sauce that makes Formula Legends stand out: this isn't a studio having a stab at what the community might want from a game like this. It's members of that community making the game they want to play. This might be a friendly and approachable looking title, but it's the hidden depths like tyre wear and pit strategies that elevate it, and they've found their way into this game because Bruschi has been modding racing games since the days of the venerable Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 2 in 1996. He's also a former racer who's competed against Sebastian Vettel in Formula Renault, among other accolades. Advertisement - Page continues below Structurally, it works like you'd imagine. Career mode takes you from the cigar-shaped deathtraps of the 1960s right through to modern energy-harvesting machinery, all in unlicensed but very recognisable form. There are over 100 different vehicles to span those seasons, and their liveries are instantly recognisable nods to their real-life counterparts. Likewise the drivers, whose names have had their letters jumbled in early '90s console racer style, but remain easy to decode. Each era of vehicle has its own handling behaviour and is built around a different physics model. The older cars will step out around corners and prompt your brain to provide a quick supercut of your life before the tyres find traction again, while the modern ground effect cars will reflect the greater downforce and turn-in speed. You really notice the sound differences between historical eras, too. The turbos sound like turbos, with that same musical roar that soundtracked many a Prost-Senna tussle. Details like that all contributed to Formula Legends ' warm reception when it was revealed, and that reception confirmed what Bruschi's team suspected: there's a gap in the genre for this exact experience. 'About a year ago we were thinking about Art of Rally ,' says producer Francesco Mantovani, 'which is our main reference at this point. Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter. Look out for your regular round-up of news, reviews and offers in your inbox. Get all the latest news, reviews and exclusives, direct to your inbox. 'It has received a big response from the market, and we wondered why nobody made this kind of game about the F1 world. We started working on it, we had some doubts along the way, but when we first saw the first prototype we realised there was something huge there.' That positive reception at reveal also spurred 3DClouds on, and fuelled the team's motivation to create a playable demo before launch. 'When we shared the trailer, says Bruschi, 'I knew that we had something good in our hands. We caused all sorts of praise and discussion, everybody was enjoying this game. We'll share something new in the next month, and also the demo.' Of course the hands-on experience will make or break Formula Legends , but with the team's experience on and off the track, it stands a better chance than most.

Netflix fans left ‘on the edge of their seats' by new crime thriller - raving over ‘shocking and brilliantly executed twist' that no-one saw coming

Netflix fans have been left 'on the edge of their seats' by a new crime thriller - raving over a 'shocking and brilliantly executed twist' that no one saw coming. Sara: Woman In The Shadows follows former secret agent Sara (Teresa Saponangelo) who leaps back into action after her son's tragic death in suspicious circumstances. The Italian-language six-part series, added to the streamer on Tuesday, is based on a series of crime novels by prolific Italian thriller writer Maurizio de Giovanni. It also stars Claudia Gerini - who played crime boss Gianna D'Antonio in John Wick: Chapter 2 - as Sara's old colleague Teresa, who agrees to help her investigate. With the programme climbing to number seven on Netflix's TV chart, just a day after its release, fans took to X to say how gripping they found the thriller series. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. One user said: 'The ending of Sara: Woman In The Shadows leaves viewers on the edge of their seats. 'The twist is both shocking and brilliantly executed, tying up loose ends while leaving room for reflection on Sara's journey. 'A must-watch for crime drama enthusiasts!' Another added: 'Sara: Woman In The Shadows, what a beautiful series.' Sara's flawless intelligence work, including being able to lip-read, sees her dubbed 'the invisible woman' in the series - which critics also found thrilling to see in action. Time Magazine said: 'Sara: Woman In The Shadows ends with the promise that as long as injustice exists, there will be those who fight - and that true justice is born in the hands of those who refuse to give up.' Similarly, review site Ready Steady Cut added: 'This is six dense episodes of grounded and compelling procedural spycraft enhanced by an unconventional lead and a willingness to meet its underlying themes and ideas halfway.' Meanwhile, pop culture title Midgard Times said: 'Sara: Woman in the Shadows emerges as an intelligent thriller that gives us emotional theatrics along with psychological complexity.' With the programme climbing to number seven on Netflix's TV chart, just a day after its release, fans took to X to say how gripping they found the thriller series The character of Sara Morozzi was first introduced by prolific Italian crime writer Maurizio in 2018, with his novel Sara Al Tramonto (Sara At Sunset). She soon proved a standout among his protagonists, as an older, more withdrawn and highly intelligent character. The set of novels about Sara marks the third of his book series to have been adapted into Italian TV shows, with this show filmed across Rome and Naples. The TV programme draws some several books in the series about her, rather than following one individual text. Speaking to Italian publication Il Recensore, Maurizio said: 'Sara is back, and it has always been my favourite series... 'Writing about her is always an intense experience, because Sara has a rare superpower: to listen.' And actress Teresa, who plays Sara, has spoken about taking on the role to Italian title Il Mattino: 'She worked for years in the secret services and has the gift of being able to read lips, so the less she stands out, the better she conducts her investigations. 'She is an observer, who remains in the shadows, investigates laterally, in silence. She is shy, does not expose herself, tends to subtract rather than add, always working by subtraction both in her private and working life.' The success of the Italian crime drama now on Netflix follows the popularity of another on the platform from closer to home - hailed as 'pure greatness' by fans. Scottish drama Dept Q sees cranky detective Carl Morck, played by Matthew Goode, attempt to solve Edinburgh's cold cases from a shabby office. The nine-part series also features The Queen's Gambit's Chloe Pirrie and Guilt star Jamie Sives. It has proved a hit with fans, climbing the charts and racking up an impressive 81 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans have taken to social media with praise as one posted to X: 'Dept Q on Netflix is such a good crime thriller. 'Matthew Goode's acting was next level! I hope they make season two of this series.'
