34 Meter Super Yacht Smashes Into Pier in Fort Lauderdale

The 34 meter yacht Determination crashed into a pier while being towed along the New River, near Andrews Avenue, in downtown Fort Lauderdale on the morning of Monday twenty July. According to the tow company, someone on the yacht bridge accidentally hit the throttle as it passed Andrews Avenue, which sent the yacht off course. The tow captains below tried to counter that propulsion, but there was nothing they could do to avoid the collision. Both the dock and the yacht sustained significant damage after the accident, with a piling lodged in the yacht's bow still visible. Despite the mess left behind and the city’s storm-water pump house damaged, no injuries were reported. City officials said a structural engineer will determine how much damage the crash may have caused to the storm-water pump station and the seawall.

The yacht in this accident is a 2016 Westport 112 Raised Pilothouse, as produced from 1993 to 2020 in 68 units.  The 112 Raised Pilothouse was replaced by the Westport 117 Raised Pilothouse.

People spend longer days on the water and use their boat for a wider range of activities. The all-new Axopar 38 is created to meet that need. It is the result of the most extensive investments in R&D than any previous Axopar range, continuing the company’s philosophy of functional, flexible, and timeless Nordic design that enables real experiences without unnecessary complexity.
