A look at the damage left on the 101-foot motor yacht

This is the shocking moment a 300ft superyacht crashes into another boat, as terrified passengers can be heard screaming.

In a video shared on social media, a £95m Lürssen superyacht can be seen gliding through the water as it heads towards another vessel off the coast of Yalıkavak, Bodrum in Turkey on Saturday.

Moments later, disaster strikes when the bow of the boat collides with the stern of a 101-foot motor yacht.

It is not clear why the collision occurred, but the smaller vessel sustained significant damage to its stern. Those on board were unharmed.

This comes after a £30m superyacht sank during a freak storm in Sicily, killing British tech billionaire Mike Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18.

The superyacht, christened Ice, was designed by Tim Heywood (exterior) and Terence Disdale (interior). She can accommodate 14 guests and 27 crew members.

It is reported to be worth $125m (£95m) and boasts impressive features such as a large helipad, a beauty salon and bathtubs carved from solid limestone.

In addition, it has a state-of-the-art gym, jacuzzi and countless rest and relaxation areas, both indoors and outdoors.

The damaged motor yacht is also a luxury vessel with a sundeck, lounge and space for up to eight people.

The Coast Guard has launched an investigation into the incident.
