Prestige Yacht Ends Aground Loses Propulsion at Jewfish Key, Florida

A sixteen meter Prestige flybridge yacht with four persons onboard ended aground, and then lost both its pod-drives at New Pass, Jewfish Key Florida at 13:00 of Friday nineteen June.  Florida Gulf Coast Marine Services of TowBoatU.S who shared the story on its Youtube page, and then assisted the yacht as it towed to Dock Cortez for inspection.  An interesting part of the story that ultimately the yacht's captain found the lost pod drives the following day.  
The yacht in this accident is a Prestige 550 Flybridge as designed by Garroni and produced from 2012 to 2017 in 170 units.  The 550 Flybridge was replaced by the Prestige 560 Flybridge.
