Despite being overloaded with passengers, all rescued individuals avoided injuries and were examined by the Miami Beach Fire Department. Multiple agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, assisted in the operation.
The Tecnomar for Lamborghini, capable of speeds up to 63 knots, was inspired by Lamborghini's supercars. An investigation into the incident is ongoing by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
The incident coincided with the Miami Grand Prix, drawing attention to the luxury yacht's sinking near the racing event. Further updates on the investigation are pending.
