A 25 meter Princess super yacht titled m/y Rendezvous and under British flag burned down and eventually sank in the early afternoon of Saturday 28th May at Torquay marina, Devon, United Kingdom. The cause of the fire are yet unknown, but it seems by some initial photos that the fire started around the helm station area, with marina residents saying they heard a big bang explosion noise before seeing a plum of smoke rising from the yacht. No one was injured in the fire, which took over two hours and five fire engines and squads to extinguish, with the Princess super yacht eventually let go from its mooring and then sinking. After the sinking the yacht was protected by booms, as according to reports she was filled with over 8,000 litres of fuel, making her a rather dangerous environmental hazard.
M/y Rendezvous is a Princess 85 from 2010, as designed by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 2008 to 2012 in nineteen units. The Princess 85 follows the second generation design language for the Princess yachts above twenty meters which debuted with the 95 in 2007, and was followed by the 85. The Princess 85 was a replacement to the 25M and was replaced by the 88.
