A night storm with wind speeds over forty knots which struck the Exumas, the Bahamas just after 23:30 hours of Thursday 27 June, beached a 25 meter Azimut super yacht, an eighteen meter Sea Ray yacht, a rib, and a couple of jet skis. Video footage from the helm of a Lazzara super yacht shared on social media by its captain Pascal Gademer shows as two Sea Ray sport yachts pass forward, drifting and dragging anchor as the sudden announced storm creates mayhem in this partly protected bay at Staniel Cay. Pascal's super yacht actually avoids these drifting yachts with engines and thrusters, as they pass very close by. The Sea Ray sport yacht is reported to have sheared one of its pod drives and probably has some hull damage to account for. The Azimut super yacht grounded in Little Farmers Bay further South. No injuries to persons are being reported.
The Sea Ray yacht in the grounding is an L590 as produced from 2015 to 19. Sea Ray introduced its L yacht series in 2014 with the L650 Fly, a Euro looking line up of yachts to compete with European exports but with US amenities. Ultimately the L series offered five models from 55 to 65 foot with Sea Ray stopping the line up in 2019.
While the grounded pictured Azimut is a Magellano 25 Metri, a model which debuted in 2020 to a design of Ken Freivokh, with naval architecture by Pierluigi Ausonio, and has so far been delivered in twenty units.
