James Bond-Themed Superyacht Called '007' Sinks Within Yards of Greek Beach

"In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore," a boat owner who watched the event unfold said of the captain's actions

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.

Sunken but not stirred.

Footage captured the calamitous moment that a massive superyacht named “007” sank — with five passengers inside — in Greece

The maritime disaster occurred Friday night after the 160-foot vessel, which reportedly sails under a British flag but is owned by a Swiss businessman, experienced a GPS malfunction off Kythos Island, SWNS reported. This reportedly prompted the captain to bring it closer to shore than was advisable.

As a result, the James Bond-themed luxury boat hit the rocks, and began taking on water with five passengers inside.

“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,” explained a boat owner who witnessed the catastrophe.

Accompanying footage, uploaded to YouTube, shows the swanky vessel, which sports a helipad, lying half-sunken on its side around 50 feet from the nearby Kolona Beach.

Thankfully, all five passengers were rescued and transported to safety before the “007” sank. “No people were hurt,” described the aforementioned eyewitness. “The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night.”

Rescuers also erected an anti-pollution perimeter in the area, although there was reportedly “no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery,” the bystander said.

Local authorities will launch a probe into the sinking of the “007,” which was delivered in 2006 by the Bodrum-based shipyard Aegean Yacht, but whose owner remains unknown.

Along with a helipad, the superyacht reportedly boasts five cabins, including a master suite, and can reportedly sleep ten people.

This isn’t the first time a luxury vessel has visited Davy Jones’ locker of late. Last month, heart-pounding footage emerged of a 130-foot superyacht capsizing and sinking stern-first into the water off the Italian coast.

In February, a Ukrainian man was arrested for partially sinking his Russian tycoon boss’s $7.7 million luxury super yacht in Spain in protest over the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Aegean superyacht known as 007 sinks in Greece

A 49-metre (147-foot) Aegean superyacht known as 007 reportedly sunk in Greece this morning. The incident, which took place last night and into this morning, occurred off of the Greek island of Kythnos.

The superyacht 007 ran aground on Friday evening, causing an inflow of water that gradually tilted the vessel.

The coastguard answered mayday calls and discovered the vessel in a semi-submerged state, though the five passengers on board were not in danger and were quickly rescued.

The yacht has now been stabilised by the coastguard in an almost fully submerged state. An initial investigation of the incident is now also being carried out at the Port of Kythnos.

A statement from the coastguard read, “In the evening hours of Friday, the Port Authority of Kythnos was informed by the Unified Center for Coordination of Search and Rescue LS-EL.AKT., that the yacht "007" of the flag of Great Britain, has run aground in the sea area of Kolones Bay, Kythnos with five foreign passengers.”

The superyacht 007 was launched as Amazon A by Turkish shipyard Aegean Yacht in 2006. She was originally 32m (104ft) in length but has since undergone at least two major extensions, to a length of approximately 49m (147ft).

Astonishing moment spy-themed superyacht dubbed '007' SINKS as passengers saved

The "007" was reportedly led astray by its GPS before it ran aground near Kolona Bay on the island of Kythnos, Greece, with the coastguard rescuing the five passengers on board

• 16:54, 7 Sep 2022

This is the astonishing moment a spy-themed superyacht dubbed "007" sank off the coast of Greece.

The vessel was carrying five passengers when it ran aground near Kolona Bay on the island of Kythnos.

The coastguard rapidly responded to a mayday call and rescued the five people on board the boat.

Shocking images showed the superyacht keeling over after it hit some rocks under the waterline, the Daily Star reports.

The British-flagged vessel is believed to be owned by a Swiss businessman.

It was just 45 metres from the shore when it ran aground.

MailOnline reports that the boat had reportedly been led astray by its GPS, but soon began to lean heavily to one side as water flooded in through the damaged area.

The incident took place on Friday (September 2), and the boat had almost entirely sunk by the following day.

Adorned with the logo of Ian Flemming’s 007, the 10-person boat also had room for five crew.

The sinister-looking ship had an aluminium structure and a steel hull, although it wasn’t enough to prevent the catastrophic rock damage.

Fit for a Bond villain, it even had its own helipad.

Built in 2006 by Bodrum-based shipyard Aegean Yachts, it was hemmed in by the coastguard, which used a floating sea wall to trap it in place and stop it or any pollutants from floating off.

Officials are currently investigating.

According to the Superyacht times , it is the largest ship Aegean makes, and was sold in 2012.

With five cabins, the boat was able to cruise at 12 knots.

A local boat owner said: “They say that the captain had some depth problem and he hit the bottom.

“In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore, in less than 10 metres depth, and that's how the ship got to that position. No people were hurt.

“The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night.

“Next morning they put an antipollution perimeter. It appears there was no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery.”

If this were a real James Bond scenario, it would be a darn good one. A James Bond-themed superyacht, aptly called 007 and restyled to resemble something the world-famous spy would sail, has been refloated, six full months after it was intentionally run aground.

On September 2, 2022, 007 ran aground off the coast of Greece, in Kolona Bay, some 15 meters (49.2 feet) from the beach. Initial reports said that some kind of navigation error had steered the vessel off course, so it hit rocks when it entered shallow waters. The hull was pierced and it started taking on water, so, to prevent it from sinking into deeper waters, the captain ran it aground.

After that, 007 tilted to the port side and eventually capsized, ending up on its side. It spent the next six months that way, with authorities seemingly in no rush to salvage it, though they did put up floating walls to keep pollution under control. As of this moment, the exact damages to the ecosystem are unknown.

On March 6, Greek authorities began the salvage operation, which concluded on March 22, with 007 refloated. If this happened in a James Bond movie, it would probably be the scene before the end credits, and Bond himself (Bond, James Bond) would make an appearance alongside the lady of the moment, and they would kiss as the camera would zoom out on the beautiful vessel, back in an upright position.

But this is no movie, and the situation continues to remain very strange, beyond the fact that authorities waited half a year to remove a vessel that posed a danger to the picturesque area.

By the looks of things, 007 has been abandoned by the owner, a millionaire businessman who was also the captain, amid claims that he deliberately ran it aground for other reasons than those having to do with the danger of sinking. One particular report, included in the second video available at the bottom of the page, says that he did it because the ship was no longer seaworthy and may have had severe balance issues brought on by repeated modifications to the hull.

Delivered in 2006 by Aegean Yachts as Royal Enterprise, 007 was initially a 32-meter (105-foot) that was modified extensively in subsequent refits. When it ran aground, it was 49 meters (160 feet) long and featured all the trappings of larger superyachts, including a touch-and-go helipad and an additional deck that wasn’t in the original design by Yavuz Mete.

According to the latest reports in the Greek media, the millionaire owner has been given one month to recover his superyacht, now that it’s been refloated, after which he will be liable to huge fines. Whether he’s actually coming back for it, after it spent half a year half-underwater, remains to be seen

Lizenz zum Sinken

Megayacht '007' in griechenland gesunken.

Das 55 Meter lange Schiff lief am Freitagabend vor der Insel Kythnos auf Grund.

Die Luxusyacht, die über einen Hubschrauberlandeplatz verfügt, wurde etwa 15 Meter vom Strand von Kolona entfernt auf der Seite liegend gesichtet. Die Megayacht dürfte beim Anlegen gekentert sein. Für den Fall, dass Treibstoff ausläuft, wurden Verschmutzungsbarrieren errichtet.

In einem Versuch, das sinkende Schiff noch zu retten, fuhr der Kapitän nahe an Küste heran. Verletzt wurde niemand. Die Küstenwache war sofort informiert und schickte noch in der Nacht Hilfe. Am nächsten Morgen sperrten sie den Bereich gegen Verschmutzung ab. Offenbar ist kein Diesel ausgetreten und die Landschaft wurde nicht beschädigt.

Die lokalen Behörden in Griechenland werden nun eine vorläufige Untersuchung durchführen. Die 007 wurde 2006 von der in Bodrum ansässigen Werft Aegean Yacht geliefert.

Nach Angaben von SuperyachtNews.com erklärte die Küstenwache, dass das Schiff "halb unter Wasser" war, als die Rettungskräfte vor Ort eintrafen. Ein Sprecher sagte: "Die Passagiere, die alle bei guter Gesundheit waren, wurden auf ein Hilfsboot gebracht und dann in den Hafen von Merihas gebracht. Der Hafen von Kythnos führt eine vorläufige Untersuchung durch, und seit dem Vorfall wurde keine Verschmutzung der Meeresumwelt festgestellt.

VIDEO: 007 Superyacht sinkt in Griechenland

Monday, September 5th, 2022

Written by: Marine Industry News

In einer scheinbar endlosen Reihe von Katastrophengeschichten in diesem Jahr ist eine 49-Meter-Superyacht – bekannt als 007 – ist gekentert und befindet sich nun halb unter Wasser in Griechenland, 15 m vor der Küste, und wartet auf die Bergung (2. September 2022).

Nach Angaben der griechischen Küstenwache wurden fünf Passagiere gerettet. Keiner wurde verletzt. Der Vorfall ereignete sich in Kolona Bay, Kythnos.

Medienberichten zufolge lief die Superyacht am Freitagabend auf Grund und verursachte einen Wassereinbruch, der das Schiff allmählich kippte.

Die Küstenwache beantwortete Mayday-Anrufe und fand das Schiff in einem halb untergetauchten Zustand.

Laut Kykladen24 , gab es einen Fehler im GPS und das Boot lief in den Untiefen auf Grund, es entstand eine Bresche und es gab einen großen Wasserzufluss, der verursachte 007 sich auf die Seite ins Meer lehnen. Dies muss noch bestätigt werden.

Ein alternativer Bericht von eSysman schlägt vor, dass der Kapitän absichtlich versucht hat, das Schiff zu erden, um zu verhindern, dass es sinkt, nachdem es auf die Felsen geprallt ist.

Das griechische Medienunternehmen sagt auch, dass keine Meeresverschmutzung verursacht wurde und die Verfahren zur Entfernung bereits eingeleitet wurden. Ein Abschleppunternehmen ist in Kythnos eingetroffen und überlegt, wie das Ultra-Luxusboot abgeschleppt werden soll.

007 wurde gestartet als Amazon A von der türkischen Werft Aegean Yacht im Jahr 2006. Sie war ursprünglich 32 m lang, wurde aber inzwischen umfassend auf 49 m umgebaut.

„Geschüttelt, gerührt oder on the rocks, Mr. Bond?“ fragt ein Kommentator.

Anfang August MIN berichtet über die Untergang einer 39-Meter-Yacht in Italien, und davor die 26m Tropfen sank vor der türkischen Küste . Eine Der 49-Meter-Schoner sank ebenfalls im Juni nachdem sie in einem spanischen Hafen von einem Versorgungsschiff angefahren worden war.

Eine Untersuchung des Untergangs der Superyacht in Griechenland hat begonnen.
