Turkish authorities were able to drain some of the water out of the vessel before towing it to nearby Gümüldür Fisherman’s Shelter.
A salvage mission has begun and local media has reported the vessel has been rescued from sinking to the sea floor. It is not currently known what caused the vessel to take on water. Investigations are ongoing.
The Navetta 26 is a 26-metre luxury motor yacht, and was introduced by Ferretti’s Custom Line in 2008. She was designed by Zuccon International Project, who also designed the interior.
