Pristine 27m Leopard Motor Yacht Principessa Matera Reduced to Waterline in Shocking Blaze at Capo Noli

The world of luxury yachting was shaken when news broke out that the prestigious 26.9-meter Leopard motor yacht, Principessa Matera, has been destroyed by an indefatigable blaze off the coast of Capo Noli in Italy. Alarms were raised promptly at 2.00 pm on the 6th of November, with authorities intervening and successfully evacuating the three souls on board – a heartening tale in a saga of loss.

Photos released by Italy’s fire and rescue service, the Vigili del Fuoco team, reveal the heart-wrenching extent of the damage. Principessa Matera, once a shining symbol of aquatic luxury, was burnt down to the waterline. Thick plumes of dark smoke bellowed into the air, casting a shadowy veil visible for miles.

The devastating lost yacht, Principessa Matera, hailed from the Leopard 27M series, known for fixed sunpads on the aft deck and bow, accommodation for seven guests, and an impressive top speed of 35 knots. The exterior design was the brainchild of the renowned Italian studio Paolo Caliari. Its fiery end was a tragic blow to not only its owners but also to aficionados of the Leopard design.

As we delve deeper into the catastrophe and the status quo of the investigation, we bid farewell to the Principessa Matera. Once a symbol of unmatched grandeur and speed, the yacht now sleeps in ashes and silence beneath the azure Italian waves.
