59' Prestiege
A 59' Prestige yacht sank on Florida’s west coast during Hurricane Helene. TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale was contracted to handle the recovery of the vessel. Divers performed underwater patching and rigged 6,000 lb lift bags to bring the vessel to the surface. Once at the surface, high-volume dewatering pumps were deployed to remove the remaining water. The yacht was then towed to a nearby haul-out facility for inspection.
