Superyacht Attila Grounded in Formentera: Will the Sanlorenzo Flagship Set Sail Again?

Chartering a startling course, the 64.3-metre Sanlorenzo superyacht Attila has found itself grounded off the coast of Es Pujols in Formentera, Spain. A sight that left onlookers taken aback, the incident occurred around 2.30pm on July 1st, after the yacht reportedly entered shallow waters. Despite the unexpected situation, local environmental enthusiasts and authorities were relieved to discover no accompanying pollution or impact on the local posidonia grasslands. The concerned stakeholders are currently rallying resources for refloating efforts whilst evaluating the scope of the damage to the stricken vessel. Delivered in 2019, Attila stands as the crown jewel of the Italian yard Sanlorenzo’s fleet. With its masculine steel exterior courtesy of Officina Italiana Design and ‘modern South American’ interiors designed by Francesco Paszkowski in partnership with Margherita Casprini, Attila personifies luxury and grandeur. Luxuries like a climate-controlled wine cellar, a massive barbecue in the main deck’s dining area, and a 78-square-metre beach club equipped with a sauna, Hammam, massage room, and gym are only beginning of Attila’s features. This unexpected incident trails in the string of recent high-profile stories such as the recovery of the sunken Baysian, Feadship’s ground-breaking move towards hydrogen fuel, and highly anticipated announcements from luxury car brand Ferrari. As the yachting world waits with bated breath for more information on Attila’s fate, one thing stands indisputable: the sea, with its tidal ebb and flow, remains the indomitable force navigating the tales of humankind’s bravest vessel interactions.
