Management company Ocean Independence sends word from Athens that the 68-foot Azimut charter yacht Sea Wise, a 2001 build that joined the OCI charter fleet in April, has been destroyed in a fire in Greece.


No cause for the fire was given. Thankfully, Ocean Independence reports, no people were injured or killed.


I just received these dramatic photos of the sinking from the company's U.K. office:
