As per reports the vessel was built in Turkey in 2008 and has 11 cabins, a master suite and a VIP stateroom. The yacht also has a cinema and a jacuzzi. The yacht was in Athens, Greece and in need of some repairs but suddenly crashed to its side while it was being pulled out of the water. According to reports, during the crash, the yacht is said to have also damaged a neighbouring shipyard. The yacht also seems to have damaged a nearby tourist boat called Lamadin during the accident.

According to the pictures shared online, the boat can be seen lying on its side after capsizing. While commenting on the picture of the boat one user wrote that the boat was most probably insured and thus the Prince will probably get another, even bigger yacht. While another added that fixing the boat will cost the Prince a ‘pretty penny’.
