With high tide coming in, the super yacht was towed away on the same night, with the yacht reported to have received no damage from the grounding.

Robert and his wife Carmen have been cruising on Indigo Star I in the Persian Gulf for over a week, with the yacht attending the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix the previous week-end. The Geiss's where in Dubai when the accident happened but not on the yacht, and were informed about the accidental grounding over the phone, with Robert Geiss joking on Instagram that now he has a private beach club. Indigo Star I is currently available for sale for 3.9 million US$.
