Marquis Yacht Runs Aground in Jewfish Key, Florida

A sixteen meter Marquis flybridge yacht with four persons onboard ended aground in a sandbar in Jewfish Key, Monroe County, in the upper Florida Keys on a story shared on Thursday fifteen January.  The Marquis flybridge yacht was assisted by Florida Gulf Coast Marine Services of TowBoatU.S who shared the story on his YouTube channel and towed the yacht from the stern in deep water, although this operation was a bit harder then it looked as the tide was pushing the yacht more into the sand-bar.  The yacht departed with it's own power, which suggests little damage, although it ended back in the sand-bar but managed to free itself with it's own power, avoiding a second tow-out.  

The yacht in this accident is a Marquis 55 LS as designed by Nuvolari-Lenard and produced from 2007 to 2009.  Marquis was Genmar flybridge yacht line created in 2003 and lasting till 2021 when it stopped operating.
