A British flagged 23 meter Princess sport yacht collided with the fifty meter Overmarine Mangusta m/y Eternity near Ponza Island at 14:30 of Friday 23 August. The Port Captaincy and Guardia Costiera of Ponza intervened after the accident. The dynamics of the accident are not reported, though the two British boaters onboard the smaller yacht did not notice straight away that they collided, stopping the yacht some seconds after the impact. Witnesses also said that the larger Eternity made a couple of horn blasts, to try and advise the smaller yacht of its collision route. No one was injured in the collision with the small Princess yacht sustaining the worst, with an important damage to its bow, railing and structure, while the larger Eternity is reported to have taken mostly cosmetic scratch damage to its port side.
The Princess yacht in this collision is an S78, as produced to a design of Bernard Olesinski from 2017 to 2022 in 21 units. The Princess S78 was also offered in the V78 no sport bridge version and came out as a replacement to the S72, with the model replaced by the S80 this year.
M/y Eternity is an Overmarine Mangusta Oceano 50 launched in 2023, build in a steel hull and aluminium superstructure to a design of Alberto Mancini and naval architecture by Pierluigi Ausonio. The Mangusta Oceano 50 debuted in 2021, with Eternity being the third hull of a semi-custom series which has so far sold six units, of which two are still under construction.
