Gozzo Style Cruiser Partly Sinks Near Grotta Azzurra at Capri

A traditional gozzo style cruiser of ten meters in length with two persons onboard partly sank near Grotta Azzurra, located on the North side of the island of Capri on the afternoon of Thursday 24 July.  The guest and skipper were immediately assisted by a nearby boat, with the Port Captaincy coming later with Patrol Boat 800 for assistance.  The two persons onboard were not injured, with the boat reporting to be on charter duty.  According to reports the Gozzo styled cruiser started taking water from one of the line shaft.  A recovery operation was set in motion on the same evening.

The traditional cruiser in this part sinking is an Apreamare Gozzo 35 as designed by Marco Casali and produced since 2020.  The Gozzo 35 was a replacement to the Apreamare Gozzo 11m.
