An eighteen meter Viking sportfish yacht titled Foolish Pleasure sank after it hit the jetties in Fernandina Bay, Fort Clinch, Florida on 05:00 hours of Sunday fifteen March. With the impact Foolish Pleasure opened a gap of about two meters in the hull, and stuck on the jetty and later on with the rising tide, tilted to its starboard side and sank. The crew and guests of Foolish Pleasure where assisted by Nassau County Sheriff. The Viking sportfish yacht was recovered the following day with a crane and a floating barge handling the operation. This was a navigational error as the Fernandina Bay jetties are marked on the charts, even though they are invisible with high tide and might allow you to just make it through. Foolish Pleasure was reportedly sold just some weeks before this sinking, with an asking price of three million US$.
M/y Foolish Pleasure is a 2014 Viking 62 Enclosed Bridge, a model produced from 2013 to 2020. Also offered as 62 Convertible the Viking 62 Enclosed Bridge came out as a replacement 60 Convertible, and was replaced by the second generation 64 in 2021.
