A stunning $4 million Lamborghini yacht met its fate off Miami Beach during the buzzing Formula 1 weekend, but this disaster was far from anonymous. A group of around 30 influencers, clad in eye-catching swimwear, were on board to capture the entire incident for their social media followers. Their videos of the luxury yacht’s dramatic sinking went viral, turning the calamity into a trending topic across platforms.
The unforgettable incident unfolded on May 3rd near Monument Island, prompting a swift rescue operation by the U.S. Coast Guard. Remarkably, all aboard emerged unscathed from the sinking, which occurred at a time when Miami was overflowing with F1 fans and celebrities anxious to soak up the race weekend excitement.
Identified by local media as a 63-foot Lamborghini Tecnomar yacht, this impressive vessel typically commands a price tag of around $4.4 million and can exceed $5 million with bespoke enhancements. With its five guest rooms and the ability to reach thrilling speeds of up to 63 knots (72.4 mph), the yacht was an engineering marvel that, unfortunately, couldn’t stave off disaster as it succumbed to the sea.
The Coast Guard shared gripping rescue photos on social media, showcasing their heroic response:

Witnesses aboard nearby vessels captured the yacht’s final moments as it was dramatically claimed by the ocean, described as being “swallowed by Davy Jones’ locker.”
Marine salvage experts will likely step in to recover and repair the sunken yacht—a standard procedure for high-value watercraft.
Meanwhile, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the cause of this maritime mishap. Early reports haven’t clarified whether mechanical failure, operator error, or weather conditions played a role in the yacht’s untimely sinking.
This incident coincided with Miami’s exuberant Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend, where racing fans were electrified by the thrilling performances of McLaren-Mercedes drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, who finished first and second at the Hard Rock Stadium. The city was alive with celebrities, racing aficionados, and, of course, influencers ready to document every unexpected turn of events.
Speaking of influencers, many were spotted in stunning swimwear, including the latest styles from Audi Swim, which offers a range of bikinis perfect for soaking up the sun this season. The Bow Babe Triangle Contrast Top is a favorite among beachgoers looking for style and comfort.
