$1.5M Yacht A Total Loss After Catching Fire At Florida Marina

It was a bad day for one boat owner in SWFL, after stunning video captured his $1.5 million yacht burning up in flames. The fire broke out Monday afternoon at the Isle of Capri Marina near Marco Island. The Sea Tow captain who was first on the scene says he tried to save the yacht, but by the time he arrived, it was far too late. Smoke could be seen for miles as the 68-foot boat burned. “We could see smoke off in the distance,” said onlooker Tammy Wilson. Mercier, the Sea Tow captain, said the boat was entirely engulfed in flames. He raced to try to save other boats nearby.
