DOZENS of influencers had to be rescued after a $4.5 million Lamborghini 63 yacht capsized off the coast of Miami Beach during Formula One weekend.
Over 30 women boarded the luxury vessel – designed for just five passengers – but it quickly ran into trouble, flipping and ultimately sinking in a dramatic scene caught on video.

Footage shared by influencer Lauren Nicole shows passengers passing around life vests and waiting anxiously to board rescue boats.
The sleek, limited-edition yacht can be seen vanishing beneath the waves of Miami Beach, Florida.
Debris floated on the surface as emergency services raced to the scene.
“We were just on the boat and we saw a bunch of cops, police boats, and there was another yacht that was flipped over completely vertically in the water,” witness Rachael Miller told CBS News Miami.
“It was vertical,” Miller added. “It was straight up in the water. It definitely didn’t look ordinary, and it’s just very concerning.”
Another witness, Bruce Maresh, told WSVN that he couldn’t believe his eyes: “Something in the distance, it appeared at an angle, and the closer we get, you could tell it was a big boat.”
The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 – a high-speed superyacht born of a joint venture between Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group – is built for five guests and two crew.
After the chaos, Lauren and others shared on social media videos of themselves partying at Jungle Island.
One influencer rescued a bottle of $330 Clase Azul Gold Tequila from the sinking boat and shouted “Baby is safe!” and “the women and children are okay!”
32 people were rescued from the sinking vessel on Saturday afternoon, according to authorities.
Miraculously, no serious injuries were reported, but the incident is now under investigation.
