A Ferretti motor yacht of 22 meters in length burned down to the North of Civitavecchia in the Central Tirrenyian sea on the 25th August around 1400 hours. Departing Civitavecchia with thirteen persons onboard the Ferretti motor yacht was navigating to the North direction Porto Ercole, when a fire starting coming out from the engine room. The persons onboard the Ferretti rescued themselves onboard the tender, none of them reporting any injuries, with the Coast Guard and Civitavecchia fire fighting squad coming out to extinguish the fire and save the yacht. While succeeding in putting out the fire, the yacht eventually sank and was not saved.
The Ferretti in this fire is a 72 as designed by Giovanni Zuccon and produced from 1998 to 2002. The Ferretti 72 was a replacement and soft evolution of the 70 launched in the fall of 1996, and then replaced by the 730. The 72 differs from the 70 for the all around bulwark, a fatter radar arch, and a second side door to starboard.
