MIAMI (WSVN) - The yacht belonging to Grammy-winning recording artist Marc Anthony has capsized after a fire broke out at the vessel that was moored in Watson Island, according to sources.
The 120-foot long vessel, which was docked off the MacArthur Causeway at the Island Gardens Marina, could be seen with heavy flames and smoke billowing from its upper decks, Wednesday night.
“It’s still a very active scene right now,” Miami Fire Rescue Cpt. Ignatius Carroll said. “Because of the amount of fire on that ship, we had take more of a defensive attack, so we have our fire boats with Miami-Dade County as well.”
7News cameras captured Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and City of Miami Fire Rescue crews battling the blaze from their fire boats.
Anthony was not on board the boat at the time of the fire, but six or seven crew members were on board and evacuated safely, a source said.
Ata Bayrakrtar, a family member of the marina’s owners, spoke to 7News while firefighters battled the blaze.
“It’s sad, dog,” he said. “For us, as the marina and for the boat themselves, firstly, it’s important for people’s lives, but obviously then for the boat and for everyone’s safety, so right now, everything is under control.”
No injuries were reported.
“At this time, we have no reported injuries, but as you can see, it’s still a very active scene,” Carroll said.
The vessel, named Andiamo, has since been ruled a total loss.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
