Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Jubilee

On the evening of August 10, 2019, a dramatic incident unfolded at the Cairns Marlin Marina in Queensland when the superyacht 'Moatiz' collided with the E arm of the marina around 6 p.m. The vessel’s starboard gear became stuck while attempting a tight turn, leading the crew to take immediate action to regain control. Despite efforts to determine whether the issue was technical or mechanical, the yacht's speed remained uncontrollable. To mitigate the situation, the crew shut down the engines and dropped anchor, but their attempts were in vain as the yacht crashed into a pier with force, damaging several smaller boats that were moored nearby. Eyewitnesses reported that diners at a nearby restaurant had to leap from their seats to avoid the oncoming yacht, adding to the dramatic nature of the incident. Fortunately, damage to the 'Moatiz' itself was relatively limited, but the event serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers in marina environments.
