Aria SF: 45m superyacht sinks following fire in Ibiza
The 45 metre ISA motor yacht Aria SF has sunk off the coast of Cap Martinet, Ibiza, following a devastating fire that ripped through the yacht on August 11 in the waters of Formentera.
After several hours of tackling the blaze, the still-smouldering vessel was towed away from the busy waters of Formentera towards Ibiza, but it was deemed too dangerous for it to enter the port.
Aria SF remained in the waters of Cap Martinet until August 14 when she sunk. She is currently lying at a depth of around 12 metres.
In a statement made to a local media outlet, Miguel Chicón, a spokesperson for Salvamento Marítimo (Maritime Salvage) commended the efforts of the salvage vessel which towed Aria SF to its current resting place.
"It has been a very expensive job and the effort of the staff of the Guardamar Concepción Arenal has been impressive," he said, adding that no injuries or contamination has been reported.
The fire broke out while the yacht was on her maiden season in the Mediterranean. According to local news reports, the Spanish Coast Guard received a distress call at 5pm local time and sent two rescue boats to offer assistance to the vessel and its crew.
The yacht's nine guests and seven crewmembers evacuated the vessel safely, but initial attempts to contain the fire were unsuccessful. She remained ablaze for more than 24 hours.
Aria SF was sold in March 2019 as the first hull in a new GT45 series of superyachts by Italian shipyard ISA Yachts. She left the shipyard only last month and was due to make her world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.
Prior to the sinking, the salvage vessel which towed Aria SF remained by her side for several hours at Cap Martinet. According to local media, the vessel withdrew from the area on Saturday August 13 and the salvage operation will now be handled by the owner.
The salvage operation is expected to get underway in the coming weeks. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Watch: Luxury yachts worth millions of euros are washed up and damaged in Spain’s Balearic Islands amid ‘dangerous’ summer storms
A NUMBER of luxury yachts washed up on the shores of the Balearic Islands after an unseasonal late summer storm.
The Wally Love, a sleek 30.5-metre vessel valued at €4 million, was found washed up on the shores of Formentera after being battered by gale force winds and heavy seas.
Designed by Luca Bassani and constructed in 2007, the yacht’s carbon fibre structure and contemporary interiors made it a noted name in the superyacht world.
Despite recent upgrades – including new sails, a carbon fibre mast inspection, and tank cleanings, the Wally Love could not withstand the force of the storm.

The storm caused widespread damage across the islands, with numerous boats being swept away from their moorings.
One experienced ship engineer told the Olive Press the vessel ‘should have had 24 hour watch.’
“If they know there’s bad weather coming, they should have heightened watch with the engines ready to start at any time if things looked bad,” he said.
“There should also be an alarm bell attached to the anchor to alert the crew if it starts to move.”
For the smaller boats that washed up, he blamed it on a lack of experience from the owners.

“People don’t always know what they’re doing and they don’t put enough chain on the anchor.”
In addition to the Wally Love, other luxury yachts, including the Benetti Sea Belle and the Sanlorenzo Francamarina, were also damaged in the incident.
The storms and rain have been wreaking havoc in Mallorca during the height of the summer season.
Videos shared online show roads completely flooded with cars being carried away.

Spain had issued a red weather alert for Mallorca on Thursday due to the severe storms and rainfall.
A so-called DANA weather front passed over the Balearic Islands after leaving storms and heavy rain in the north-east of the mainland earlier this week.
The red alert by Aemet is the highest warning level possible and means there is a serious risk to life.
Meanwhile the rest of the entire island was on orange-level alert for the same freak weather.
The entirety of Ibiza was also on an orange alert for storms and rain.
