The forty meter Princess super yacht Le Verseau collided into the Corinth Canal left bank, in Greece as its was passing from the famous channel on Thursday seventeen July at 17:58 hours. The story was broken by The Yacht Report on his video cast of Friday 25 July, for a video which is reported as sent by one of his viewers. According to its AIS the Princess yacht was heading North West, going from the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea to the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea. The cause of the collision are not reported though most probably the captain lost control because of the current which has the habit of becoming rather insidious at times.
This is the second yacht which collided into Corinth Canal bank in less to a year, as on 28 July 2024 the 49 meter Heesen m/y Home suffered a similar fate.
M/y Le Verseau is a 2016 Princess 40M as designed by Bernard Olesinski and produced from 2012 to 2019 in eight units. The 40M is Princess largest built yacht to date, and was the second model of the M super yachts line which debuted with the 32M in 2011, and was stopped in 2019 with a 30M as its last build.
