Azimut Yacht Ends into Rocks and Sinks in La Quedrada Acapulco

A fifteen meter Azimut yacht titled m/y Amore Mio with fifteen guests onboard ended sinking in La Quedrada, Acapulco Mexico just before 14:00 of Tuesday 31 December.  Amore Mio is video shown ending in the enclosed La Quedrada cliff diving high reefs tourist attraction inlet, and looking incapicated without power and hitting the rocks.  At this stage the yacht is discharging passengers and then in another film is seen towed out of the area, by another smaller boat by which after the towing the Azimut is seen sinking, with its debris ending in the area as the current takes it crashing into the reefs semi-sunk.  No tourists are reported injured as the Mexican Navy came to the scene and cordoned the area.  The cause of why the yacht ended in that spot are not reported, though on social media one person who said the brother of his friend was on the yacht, said Amore Mio ended powerless and tide dragged into the enclosed inlet.  
The yacht in this collision is an Azimut AZ Cinquanta as produced from 1996 to 1997 to a Stefano Righini design.  The AZ Cinquanta soft evolved into the 52 in 1998 with a standard extended bathing platform, and a second lower deck option.  Two hundred units were sold of the AZ Cinquanta and 52 in a six year production run lasting till 2002.
