106-foot yacht sinks off Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

Crews responded offshore to a 106-foot vessel that was sinking off Sunrise Boulevard and A1A Monday evening, WPTV newspartner NBC 6, reports.

Members of Sea Tow said the vessel, Serena III, was taking on water off Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, with about 40-feet of its bow in the air.

13 passengers were safely taken to the United States Coast Guard station in Miami Beach. No injuries or medical concerns were reported.

USCG officials said the vessel began taking on water, possibly because it ran aground, but that's still under investigation.
