Owners of $41 million superyacht agree to pay $100,000 after dropping anchor and damaging coral reef in Hawaii

• Owners of a $41 million superyacht will pay a $100,000 fine after damaging hundreds of coral colonies in Hawaii. 
• The yacht, the Formosa, dropped anchor onto coral, breaking 431 coral colonies across more than 11,000 square feet, Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources said. 
• The yacht's chain inflicted much of the damage by swinging through the coral bed, according to the state.

Owners of a 197-foot superyacht will pay a hefty fine after damaging coral colonies in Hawaii's Kailua Bay in 2018, the state's Department of Land and Natural Resources announced this week.

The owners — Formosa Wealth Management Group, whose yacht also bears the Formosa name — settled with the state to the tune of $100,000, which will fund the restoration and management of coral reefs in West Hawaii, the department said in a statement. The Formosa appears to be up for sale with an asking price north of $41 million.

The damage occurred in October 2018, the announcement said, when the yacht dropped anchor onto coral, breaking and damaging about 431 coral colonies and approximately 150 square feet of live rock. That constituted a violation of Hawaii Administrative Rules, but the state determined it would be difficult to prosecute the Formosa's owners because the vessel operates under a foreign flag, which many yacht owners do for tax purposes. 

All told, biologists estimate that the Formosa's anchor impacted coral across an area of more than 11,000 square feet, the department said.

Nikki Smith, an aquatic biologist with the department's Division of Aquatic Resources, said in the announcement that much of the damage came from the anchor's chain "swinging through the bed," adding that the impact was "quite extensive."

After surveying the damage, biologists from the division took to repairing the affected coral. They went on three dives to reposition more than 50 large colonies and stabilize more than 250 coral fragments.

Quick Enquiry

Positive Customer Review: "One of the most memorable parts for me was the launch. I went with my wife, and Benetti had a Roman Catholic priest bless the yacht. It was very beautiful with all the Italian music and then the British national anthem, and it was all very unexpected. I thought I was just going to be putting the boat in the water, but in fact it turned into a very emotional day!" - Owner of a Benetti called motor yacht 11:11

Make your work are as comfortable as you can with shade, fans or A/C if possible. If on the hard and expect to be there for a while build some steps to get on and off the boat. Have a cooler filled with bottle/jug water and soft drinks. Protect yourselves from heat injuries and toxic chemicals. Don't get tied up in the million little tasks, take care of the big stuff that prohibits use of the boat and save the things that can wait for later. Play music while you work. Make it as enjoyable as you can. Pop a top in your beautiful teak salon at the end of each day and reflect on your progress. This is a great place to get advice with your projects but maybe ask questions on "Ask all sailors" or ask Mainsail directly. He's a boat project guru. Not much traffic on "other sailboats".  

formosa--- welcome!! there is a group for the likes of us in yahoo-- with all kinds of specific info to our boats--is called leaky teaky yacht club-- come on over. these folks are great as well-- our boats have specific things others donot know--- lol-- and formosa our lives we get to refit and repair..just like all the others, but our names reflect our needs-- formosa..... i LOVE mine-- sails great and does well in rough stuff.... welcome to this world. what are your first projects?? are you on the hard or in water??  

Thanks everyone for the advice , we brought the boat home so we could have the shop right next to the boat, we did build a flight of wide stairs to make hauling up equipment much easier. The project started with a gut everything pulled out very carefully as to not damage any of the teak. We will be insulating and all new wiring and pluming, but at the moment we are topside dripping off and sanding and giving the aft area a new look for the sole purpose of water shed and water tightness , after that we want to get her painted she has had 8 layers of fiberglass added to the hull so we want to get her painted while the weather is warm and then put a shelter over her and begin the inside work. So that is my scary story and I will check out leaky trait for sure. And I was also wondering has or is their a Formosa rally ever held anywhere?  

formosa rally has been trying to be planned by formosa owners group on yahoo groups who changed their name to leaky teaky yacht club --we just havent gotten it together--everyone is everywhere in the world with their boats either fixing or fixing and cruising or fixing and selling or cruising and selling-- but folks are hopeful....... come on over to see what is there--lots of info specific to our boats--yahoo group, leaky teaky yacht club. get 'er into water and join me-- will be a rally..LOL make sure you check your stern tube and cutlass bearing and packing gland before yu place into water. also gudgeons and pintles of the rudder and rudder packing gland. deck wont sink ye. just makes pillow uncomfy.

FORMOSA Yacht for Charter

The 196-foot (60m) Benetti Motor yacht FORMOSA stands out from the crowd with a creative exterior design and interiors by Sinot that bring the outside world within.

The sophisticated yacht can accommodate 12 guests across six cabins, including an upper-deck owner’s suite with large windows, a study and a spacious private terrace. Further creativity in the layout means there are two VIP staterooms on the main deck with marble en-suites and two guest double cabins plus one twin on the lower deck.

The expansive sundeck has a Jacuzzi and bar area surrounded by cushioned seating and sun-loungers, plus awnings for optional shade. On the theme of relaxation, there’s a private observation deck with ample seating and daybeds.

When it comes to socializing and dining, the long-serving captain and his crew of 14 ensure the ultimate in service levels and hospitality. Both inside and out, there are numerous dining options: the upper deck has an al fresco table to aft or there’s a more formal dining room offer the main salon.

FORMOSA’s skylounge doubles as a cinema room and there’s a large seating area on the main deck to aft and luxurious sofas in the main salon. All interior spaces are connected by a glass elevator.

Other onboard amenities include a gym, a swim platform for easy access to an impressive array of water toys, and two tenders for further exploration of the islands and coastline on your itinerary.

FORMOSA has a top speed of 16 knots, and a comfortable cruising speed of 15 knots. She also has stabilizers for when at anchor, ensuring all guests have a comfortable night’s sleep.

The overall combination of features makes FORMOSA one of the most sought after yachts to charter for those seeking the winter sunshine of Southeast Asia.
