A 25 meter Princess motor yacht collided into the berthing pier of Mandraki Harbour, to the North East of the island of Rhodes on the morning of Friday sixth June. The story was shared on the Boating in Greece Facebook group page, as a short reel of 45 seconds films the Princess yachts striking the jetty and what looked like its slow speed of about eight knots. With the impact the yacht is seen taking its bow for about three meters of length out of the water and on top of the jetty, before going back fully in the water with the impact. The cause of the collision was not reported though a speculation in the comments was that it was a throttle malfunction.
The Princess yacht in this collision is a Princess 85 MY as designed by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 2008 to 2012 in nineteen units. The 85 MY was a replacement to the 25M and was replaced by the Princess 88 MY.
