Three Superyachts Sink in Pre-Dawn Fire at Sydney’s Spit Marina

Police say early checks point to no foul play.

Overview

  • The blaze began about 3:30am at The Spit Marina in Mosman and spread between moored vessels before being contained.
  • Three luxury yachts were destroyed and sank, and a fourth sustained significant damage but remains afloat.
  • Roughly 40 firefighters worked with police and the NSW Port Authority for more than two hours to bring the fire under control.
  • Hazardous‑materials teams deployed booms to capture oil and fuel, an exclusion zone was established, and salvage planning is underway.
  • Four people were treated for smoke inhalation, including a woman taken to hospital in stable condition, and damage is expected to total millions as the cause is investigated.
