‼️The newly launched 24-metre Medyılmaz Shipyard motor yacht Dolce Vento sinking just minutes after entering the water in the Ereğli district of Zonguldak, Turkey.
The incident occurred at approximately 14:30 local time, with local reports suggesting Dolce Vento developed a stabilisation issue and began to take on water around 15 minutes after launch, before submerging to a depth of seven metres.
At the time of the launch, the yacht’s owner, captain and two crew members were allegedly onboard.

The Coast Guard and medical teams were also dispatched to the scene.
An investigation has been opened to determine the cause of the sinking. Find out more via our website: https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/medyilmaz-shipyard-yacht-dolce-vento-sinks-after-launch
