A sinking feeling gripped the Turkish coast when the $1 million luxury yacht Dolce Vento went under on its maiden voyage. The 85-foot vessel, valued at $940,000, sank off Zonguldak just 15 minutes after leaving shore.
The sinking feeling became real for the yacht’s owner, captain, and two crew members. The vessel tipped over, and within minutes, water dragged it beneath the surface. A dramatic video captured the moment the yacht disappeared into the sea.
All four people on board reacted quickly. They jumped into the water and swam back to safety. No lives were lost in the incident.
The Turkish Coast Guard and port teams rushed to the scene. They secured the sinking site and began investigating the cause of the accident.
Social media lit up with reactions. One user joked, “It comes with a submarine mode too?” Another wrote, “Seems like a really expensive way to test life jackets.”
The sudden loss of Dolce Vento has left many shocked. Questions are now being raised about the vessel’s stability and safety checks before delivery
