This is the dramatic moment a boat of the highest calibre caught fire off the coast of Formentera, Spain.
The 88-foot yacht was shown on camera engulfed in flames and spewing thick, black smoke into the sky.
The Italian-built yacht was docked in the Ses Salines Natural Park’s Es Cavall d’En Borràs beach, close to where Hollywood A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio has recently been seen partying.
In a battle against time, 12 passengers and five crew members hurriedly left the ship.
The only crew member who required medical treatment for minor burns was a 39-year-old Spaniard, according to the regional emergency response coordinators.
People gathered in the area to watch the fire in their own boats.
In a couple of minutes, flames could be seen quickly engulfing the yacht and turning it into a blaze.
‘The Lion’, a professional poker player, was said to own the vessel, according to local media, but this has not been confirmed by officials.
This morning, it was unclear if those on board were visitors who had rented the yacht or owners’ guests.
Additionally, their countries have not yet been made known.
Around 6 p.m. on Saturday, the alarm was raised, and Spanish coastguards were dispatched to the area.
The fire was put out after the boat was dragged further out to sea.
