That's going to cost the lift operator a few bucks.

Looks like this boat owner now the proud owner of a marina!
Or was this an insurance "drop" ?

I just hope no one was onboard while this happened!

Doubt it was an "insurance" drop. That boat looks to be clean and in very good condition.

Here's what I heard back when I posted that on a boating forum...

"According to the site cargolaw.com, the above-depicted yacht mishap occurred on 7 March 2007 at Port Jebel Ali (a man-made harbor in the Gulf of Arabia outside Dubai, UAE).

When the pictured $1.5 million Carver 55′ Marquis Motor Yacht was being lifted aboard a cargo ship by slings for transport to the U.S., it slipped out of the forward sling, plunged bow-first into the water, and capsized -- with the friction from the rear sling tearing off the yacht’s propellers, shafts, struts, and drive train.

A marketing representative with Carver Yachts confirmed that this explanation is basically correct." :shock:

That would cause the shipping company's insurance rates to go up.

Surprised it was only props shafts struts & rudder! I'd bet there is some structure issues now as well.

Not in a harbor. Just a hazard to navigation.
