James Bond-Themed Superyacht Called '007' Sinks Within Yards of Greek Beach
Wed, September 7, 2022
Five passengers aboard a superyacht named in honor of British superspy James Bond had to be rescued after it capsized and began sinking yards away from a Greek beach Friday.
The 160-foot superyacht named "007" experienced a GPS malfunction around 50 feet from the beaches of Kolona Bay on the Mediterranean island of Kythnos, SWNS reported.
"They say that the captain had some depth problem and he hit the bottom," a boat owner said about the vessel's captain, per SWNS
"In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore, in less than 10 meters depth — and that's how the ship got to that position." Thankfully, nobody was hurt in the incident, added SWNS.
"The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night," the local continued, per SWNS.
"Next morning they put an antipollution perimeter," the boat owner continued. "It appears there was no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery."

According to SuperYacht Times, the "007" was developed by Aegean Yachts in 2006 and can accommodate up to 10 people. It also has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure.
In true James Bond style, however, the identity of the owner has not been revealed.
The sinking of the 007 follows the demise of a 131-foot superyacht named My Saga, which capsized nine miles off the coast of Catanzaro, Italy in August.
Shocking footage released by the Italian coast guard showed the vessel sinking stern-first near the Catanzaro Marina.
According to the BBC, "the Italian coast guard rescued all nine people on board – four passengers and five crew. The outlet reported the ship was heading from Gallipoli to Milazzo.
An investigation of the incident is ongoing and it is still unclear what caused the yacht to sink.
