Beached Yacht In Delray Moved From The Sand After Three Days

A 92-foot luxury boat has been removed from the beach in Delray.

The multi-million dollar yacht had been stuck in the sand near Linton Boulevard since Friday and was towed by a company out of Fort Lauderdale on Sunday.

It was a lengthy process according to the president of TowBoatrUS, who said they used various vessels to handle different parts of the mission, including pulling the diesel fuel out of the yacht.

92-foot luxury boat beached in Delray Beach since Friday removed

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — A 92-foot luxury boat worth several million dollars beached in Delray Beach since Friday was removed Sunday afternoon.

TowBoatrUS Ft. Lauderdale was able to move Past Time, which had lost power and beached at Linton Avenue, out of the sand.

The yacht was moved out of the way at 3:15 p.m. and headed on a three-hour trip to Viking Service Center in Riviera Beach.

Captain Larry Acheson, president of the company, said he had 20 people working to remove it since Friday.

"We had various vessels all with different missions," he told WPTV. "We had to pull the diesel fuel off board. Various people on the beach and various people on the disabled vessel. If it starts taking on water, we had to have people running the pumps."

Acheson said he could not disclose information on the owner.

Seth Stern with Wavy Boat, who had been taking video of the boat Past Time the past few days, told WPTV reporter Chris Gilmore "You'll never see a boat like this beached again in your lifetime."

The Viking 92's engines locked up and a generator malfunctioned in high winds, Stern said.

"This is not a small boat. This is not a small operation," Stern said.

On Sunday, crews with the Fort Lauderdale towing company were trying to get the yacht back in the water, including pumping out fuel.

Despite several failed attempts, they planned to get it back in the water at high tide.

"The attempts that I have witnessed have been unsuccessful due to the lines snapping due to the sheer weight of the boat," Stern said. "Today it's nice to see they're pumping off all the fuel and oil to prevent any kind of environmental spill for when they do pull this boat off. It'll also lighten the boat tremendously, making the rescue much easier."

Stern did some research to see the value of the boat.

"I looked one up just to see the prices and there's currently one listed for $12 million, but it doesn't have some of the same bells and whistles as this one," he said. "So the estimation of $15 to $16 million is fairly accurate on this boat. However every day it sits here getting battered by the waves that value has to go down."

Another boat has been stranded at Jacksonville Beach for two weeks.

Luke Rehberg told First Coast News he has decided to demolish "Aqualon," which he had called him.

This 92-foot luxury yacht got stranded all weekend on a Florida beach

• A yacht worth millions got stranded on a Florida beach.
• The 92-foot boat spent a recent weekend on Florida's Delray Beach before it was removed.
• "You'll never see a boat like this beached again in your lifetime," one boater told WPTV. 

A swanky 92-foot yacht worth millions of dollars spent a recent weekend stranded on a Florida beach.

The luxury watercraft, a Viking-92 called Past Time, got stuck on Delray Beach, on Florida's southeast coast, on Nov. 3, according to local outlet WPTV .

Three people were on board the ritzy boat when the vessel lost power before it ultimately hit the shoreline, WLFX reported , citing Delray police.

The vessel spent most of that weekend undergoing an intensive towing operation that saw it finally removed on the afternoon of Nov. 5, WPTV reported. Engine failure and high winds contributed to the stranding, according to Wavy Boats, a Florida channel that documents local boat actions.

"You'll never see a boat like this beached again in your lifetime," Seth Stern of Wavy Boats told WPTV. Listings seen by Insider suggest the vessel can cost around $10 million new.

Stern estimated the yacht was valued in the region of $12 to $16 million, the news outlet reported.

But, he told the outlet, "every day it sits here getting battered by the waves, that value has to go down."

Longtime Florida resident Rick Iossi who witnessed the beached yacht told Insider that he's never seen a boat of this size stranded like this.

"Sometimes, the best remedy is to never have been out in heavy weather in the first place," Iossi said.

Meanwhile, Captain Larry Acheson, the president of the towing company involved in the operation to remove the yacht said that he had 20 people and various small boats that worked to move the vessel, according to WPTV.

"We had to pull the diesel fuel off board. Various people on the beach and various people on the disabled vessel. If it starts taking on water, we had to have people running the pumps," Acheson told WPTV.

He declined to identify the owner of the yacht.

Beached Yacht Still Beached On Delray Beach

• Sunday, 5 November 2023, 11:41
• Delray Beach , Florida , News , Palm Beach County

BY: STAFF REPORT | BocaNewsNow.com

UPDATE: 1:55 p.m. Saturday — Delray Beach Police officials tell BocaNewsNow.com that it’s a 92-foot Viking Sport Fisherman yacht that lost power on Friday. Three occupants were on board at the time of the beaching. Sea Tow is working with the crew to try to salvage the vessel. (Thanks to reader comments, BocaNewsNow.com concurs that this doesn’t quite look like it’s 92 feet long, but we’ll stick with the official version since it’s the official version).

DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — No crime and no controversy, but there is a rather sizable yacht beached on Delray Beach Saturday. The beaching is notable as lots of BocaNewsNow.com readers are reaching out for details. Here’s what we know:

The yacht became beached Friday afternoon as winds were exceptionally strong for the region in early November and — it would seem — the captain got him or herself into a situation before her or she could get out of it. As a result, the yacht got stuck on sand and couldn’t break free. It’s been there for nearly 24 hours.

The goal: high tide is just before 4 p.m. on Saturday. We understand that the crew is hoping high tide will be enough to break the yacht free from the sand. If not, it becomes a much bigger deal as a towing vessel may be required to move the vessel.

The Delray Beach Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for information on Saturday, but again, bad luck is not traditionally a crime. There are no injuries that we are aware of. And the weather, overall, isn’t bad for being stuck on a boat in a desirable location.

We thank our readers for sending photos. We’ll update if we receive any additional information.
