An Azimut flybridge cruiser of eleven meters in length, sank while in its mooring at the marina in Casamicciola Terme, in the Island of Ischia, in the night between the twelfth and thirteenth January. No one was onboard at the time of sinking. The cause of the sinking are not reported, but in most cases when a boat sinks this way, berthed in its mooring, it would be a failed water-cock of sorts. Casamicciola Terme is located on the North part of the Island of Ischia, the largest of the three Naples gulf Islands, the other two being the famous Capri, and less famous but pretty Procida.
The boat in this accident is an Azimut AZ36 TrentaSei model as designed by Bernard Olesinski and inhouse by the Italian yacht builder and produced from 1993 till 1998 in about one hundred units. The AZ36 was a replacement to the long standing and popular John Bennet designed 37 and was replaced by the AZ39.
