Maritime Rescue teams and Environment Officers from the Govern attended on Monday morning to extinguish the flames of a 28-metre yacht sailing in waters south of Ibiza, near Es Vedrà.
The fire alert was received at 11.20 am, and the Maritime Rescue vessel Concepción Arenal was quickly dispatched, along with two Environment Officers from the Govern aboard the Ibanat natural park patrol boat.
According to information obtained by Periodico de Ibiza, the yacht Da Vinci, based in Alicante, was carrying four passengers, two crew members, and the captain. They were all transferred from the Ibanat boat to the Maritime Rescue vessel. Thankfully, there have been no reported injuries.
When the yacht was being towed to Ibiza port, smoke started to reappear. Small flames are currently visible in the engine room.
