Sunseeker Yacht Collides with Fish Farm Near Zadar

A 31 meter Sunseeker super yacht titled m/y Baby 1 collided with a Cromaris Kosara fish farm in the Zadar archipelago just before midnight of Tuesday eighteen June. The cause of the collision is not reported, though lack of attention during navigation might have played a part, with the fish farm being marked both with marking lights and on the charts. The Cromaris staff worked through the following day to save the cages first and then free the yacht. The Zadar Port Authority has opened an investigation on the collision.
