A luxury yacht more than 20 metres long was wrecked along the coast of Castellammare di Stabia, near Marina di Stabia. The vessel, named Five Weeks, was built in 2020 by Monte Carlo Yachts and was used for tourist charters in the Mediterranean.

According to Il Mattino, strong wind and waves drove the yacht toward the coast during an emergency situation managed by the captain. The report describes the hull being pushed onto the shoreline at Castellammare by the sea conditions.

Partially Submerged Hull and Recovery Checks

Stabia News reported that the Five Weeks was left partially submerged along the Castellammare di Stabia coastline. Specialist divers intervened to inspect the condition of the hull and to assess and prepare recovery operations.

The sources describe the divers’ work as hull checks and recovery-related inspections, rather than a completed refloating. No verified details were available in these sources about the final outcome of the recovery.

Fuel on Board and Environmental Risk

The yacht contained fuel and other technical liquids at the time it was wrecked. That made an environmental risk possible, and divers were also involved in assessing the condition of the vessel.

Neither source confirms that a fuel spill had already occurred. The available evidence establishes a possible environmental risk, not a documented discharge into the sea.

What Is Confirmed

  • The yacht involved was the Five Weeks, over 20 metres long, built in 2020 by Monte Carlo Yachts.
  • It was wrecked along the littoral of Castellammare di Stabia, in the area of Marina di Stabia.
  • It was used for tourist charters in the Mediterranean.
  • Specialist divers inspected the partially submerged hull in connection with assessment and recovery work.
  • Fuel and technical liquids on board created a possible environmental risk, with no confirmed spill reported by these sources.

What Remains Unclear

  • The precise circumstances that led to the sinking have not been established. The causes were still to be clarified at the time of publication.
  • The two sources give different time references for the evening of the incident: Il Mattino refers to the evening of Thursday 8 September, while Stabia News refers to the late evening of 8 October.
  • There is no confirmed information in these sources about whether fuel leaked or about the final result of the recovery operation.

Readers following the case should therefore distinguish between what is documented — a large charter yacht driven onto the coast and left partially submerged, with divers assessing the hull and recovery options — and what remains to be ascertained by further investigation.
