On 24 December (2024), a chase boat belonging to the 67.5-metre Iconsuperyacht Loon crashed onto the rocks of Anse des Cayes Bay in St Barths. Six people were injured out of the 11 American nationals on board, including stewardess Natalia Niznik, who was "ejected" from the boat on impact, landing on the rocks and sustaining injuries to her face, leg and jaw.
A negligence complaint filed by Niznik and her co-worker, Klara Holubova, has cited Loon's former captain, Paul Clarke, as the operator of the vessel. The case is ongoing, with a formal hearing scheduled for 10 July.
The chase boat is named Reel Time and belongs to HCB Yachts' 53' Sueños RXV series. She measures 16.2 metres and comes equipped with quad engines, a fully functional fishing platform and galley kitchen.
