A 40-meter-long (131-foot) superyacht capsized nine miles off the coast of Catanzaro, Italy on Saturday.
Shocking footage released by the Italian coast guard shows the vessel, named My Saga, sinking stern-first near the Catanzaro Marina.
According to the BBC , "the Italian coast guard rescued all nine people on board – four passengers and five crew. The outlet reported the ship was heading from Gallipoli to Milazzo.
An investigation of the incident is ongoing and it is still unclear what caused the yacht to sink.
In the video tweeted by the Italian coast guard, the yacht is seen floating on its side amid rough waters before its rear starts dipping into the Ionian Sea.
The footage cuts to the vessel then halfway submerged in the water before it quickly vanishes beneath the surface.
Along with the video, the coast guard wrote a caption. Translated from Italian it reads, "In recent days, the #GuardiaCostiera of #Crotone coordinated rescue operations for passengers and crew of a 40m yacht, which sank 9 miles off the coast of #CatanzaroMarina. Administrative investigation was launched to identify the causes."
My Saga was designed by Tim Heywood and Jean-Marc Achy. It was equipped "with a teak deck, a steel hull, and aluminum superstructure," according to the London-based luxury lifestyle publisher, BOAT International .
The superyacht boasted six cabins that could accommodate up to 12 guests and eight crew members.

39-meter M/Y My Saga Sinks off Coast in Italy

M/Y My Saga sank around 1 p.m. on August 22 in the Gulf of Squillace, about nine nautical miles from the coast of Catanzaro Marina, according to local media Il Messaggero . The yacht was sailing from Gallipoli to Milazzo, and she ended up taking on water. There were no reported injuries.
In the early morning hours of August 20, the Port Authority of Crotone was notified that My Saga was taking on water from the stern. A Romanian patrol boat and a patrol boat from Crotone, Italy, were sent to the scene, and four guests and a crewmember were evacuated and taken to the port of Catanzaro Marina.

At dawn, tugboat Alessandro Secondo arrived and began towing the yacht toward Crotone with four crewmembers, including the captain, on board the tug. However, due to the weather conditions and the vessel’s heavy listing, the salvage efforts became more difficult and then impractical, the Guardia Costiera reports. Unfortunately, the water invaded the hull, causing My Saga to sink.
An investigation into the cause of the incident is being conducted by the Catanzara Coast Guard Command.
