A 23 meter sport yacht titled m/y Emilia with five persons onboard went ablaze at Puerto del Rey Marina, Fajardo at 17:54 of Wednesday four June. Emilia was reported to have just fuelled up 2200 litres of fuel and was heading to Porto Chico marina, when the fire alarm started to ring and smoke showed up from the engine room. Seeing this the captain called for assistance anchored the sport yacht outside the harbour, and instructed the five boaters to go fore-ship, who then jumped in the water and were recovered by a nearby boat. Puerto Rico Rico Police Joint Forces of Rapid Action responded to the fire, and were followed by US Coast Guard sector San Juan with yacht Emilia ultimately ending wrecked. The cause of the fire is not understood as the US Coast Guard is investigating the fire.
M/y Emilia is a Cantieri dell Arno Leopard 23 Hard Top as designed by Poalo Caliari and produced from 1997 to 2006 and sold in about ten units. The 23 Hard Top was the enclosed option of the Leopard Sport 23 which arrived two years before, and was a replacement to the successful Leopard Sport 21.50 sold in about forty units.
