This incident occurred off the coast of Zonguldak – a popular tourist destination in northern Turkey – on September 2.

The video, filmed on a phone, shows the vessel capsizing rapidly into the waters.

At first, everything went well: the vessel named Dolce Vento set out on its maiden voyage.

But within seconds, the situation sharply deteriorated.

The vessel began to dangerously list, and it became clear that it was capsizing.

Panic erupted on board as the vessel tilted closer to the sea.

Only 15 minutes after the start, the yacht vanished beneath the surface.

One passenger attempted to escape onto partially submerged wreckage.

The vessel, measuring between 24 and 30 meters long, was built at the Med Yilmaz shipyard.

After construction was complete, the vessel was delivered to its owner from Istanbul.

Fortunately, no one was harmed during this horrific incident.

The owner, captain, and two crew members were able to safely reach the shore.

After the yacht sank, coast guard and port teams arrived at the scene to establish a safety perimeter.

Special teams were also dispatched to retrieve the sunken vessel.

Shipyard representatives stated that an investigation would be conducted to determine the cause of the sinking.

Despite the ongoing investigation, experts believe that stability issues related to calculation errors in the metacentric height of the vessel may be the primary cause of this incident.

This incident highlights the importance of rigorous vessel safety monitoring, especially for new vessels, and may prompt a review of yacht design standards to prevent similar disasters in the future. The situation serves as a reminder of the risks faced by yacht manufacturers and sea-goers.
