The 30 meter long luxury yacht Bellissima struck rocks near Pender Harbour, British Columbia, Canada. The yacht had struck rocks near Daniel Point resulting in uncontrolled water ingress in the stern of the vessel. The crew sent out a distress call and entered Pender Harbour. Local Coast Guard vessels arrived on scene and attempted to dewater the yacht using two large pumps. No reports of injuries or pollution released. Authorities had booms placed around the vessel as a precaution. Reports state that flooding was brought under control and the situation was stabilized.
