The 27.3-metre Maiora motor yacht Dominic has been destroyed in a fire off the island of Isla Mujeres in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Dramatic imagery shows Dominic's three decks entirely engulfed in flames as personnel from the Naval Search, Rescue and Maritime Surveillance Station attempt to battle the blaze.
According to local reports, the fire began in the late evening (26 July) with six guests and two crew on board at the time. The cause of the fire is undetermined, though it is said to have started from the lower deck.
"Thanks to the quick intervention of the Secretary of the Navy (SEMAR), the Ultramar company, APIQROO, staff of the Isla Mujeres municipality and the solidarity of the citizens, all those involved were evacuated without suffering injuries," read a statement from the State Coordination of Civil Protection for Quintana Roo.
It was also confirmed that there was no resulting pollutants.
Dominic was delivered by Italian shipyard Maiora in 2008 to an exterior design by Roberto Del Re. Accommodation is for up to eight guests and four crew. Key numbers include a 6.3-metre beam and a volume of 152GT.
This follows another dramatic incident this weekend, which saw the 37.8-metre motor yacht Lovebug run aground in Chesapeake Bay. A salvage plan is actively underway.
