One boat and two yachts were destroyed by a fire off Northwest North River Drive near the Miami Marine Center marina and Jones Boat Yard, Miami River at 03:30 early morning time of Friday seven March. A nearby resident which works at Jones boat yard reported that the fire started as the smaller boat of the three exploded, with its fire then expanding to a yacht in-front, and a super yacht of thirty meters docked at its stern. Miami Dade Fire Rescue intervened for the fire with thirty units fighting the blaze from the land and water. All three boats and yachts were wrecked, the smaller boat which started the fire sunk completely, the eighteen meter yacht mostly sunk with its bow left sticking out, and the large third one did not sink but had its super structure completely destroyed. No one was injured in the fire as all yachts were unattended with this controlled just after 06:00 morning time. An oil boon was deployed between the yachts to contain pollution as Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office arson investigators are probing the cause of the blaze.
The large super yacht wrecked in this fire is m/y Nirvana, a 2005 Rodman 105 as designed by its Spanish builder and reported to be delivered in only one unit. The 105 is the largest Rodman build to date, with the Spanish builder being more known for its flybridge cruisers from ten to twenty meters. The yacht further forward is an Azimut 62 Evolution, with the smaller boat in the middle looking to be a center console of about thirteen meters in length not identifiable.
M/y Nirvana was also in the Miami news in more or less the same spot on the night of Sunday 23 July 2023, when a group of seventeen people who chartered the yacht, held the captain and crew at gunpoint demanding their money back. No one was injured in this accident with one of the guest reported to be a known rapper whose name was not mentioned.
