The 16 million pound worth yacht, which the officials left the door open, sank.

"New footage shows the moment a luxury Italian super yacht began to sink off the coast of a Greek holiday island just two months after undergoing extensive renovations.

The 46-meter 'Ethos' yacht, which is rented for £180,000 per week, was spotted taking on water off the shores of Kefalonia. It was reported that the cause was a door left open by the crew.

The Maltese-flagged yacht accommodates up to 12 guests and offers luxurious features. It was purchased and refurbished for £16 million by its new owner.

Five tourists and five crew members were safely evacuated. The footage shows the yacht losing balance and tilting to the starboard side. The captain managed to prevent a complete disaster by grounding the boat in shallow waters.

The extent of the damage is not yet known, but significant repairs may be required. Divers have started the process of removing water from the vessel.

This incident is one of the many maritime accidents that have occurred in Greek waters in recent years. Similar incidents took place off the coast of Zakynthos and Rhodes islands last year, where British tourists were rescued from burning boats.

In the incident in Rhodes, 82 passengers were saved, but it was reported that children experienced trauma. These incidents have raised concerns about maritime safety in the region."
