Social media videos show black smoke billowing from a luxury yacht on fire in St Tropez in the French Riviera on Thursday.
The fire broke out on the 41-meter Sea Lady II, a boat that can be rented for €65,000 (£56,000) a week and can accommodate up to ten guests. Firefighters initially struggled to get on board to contain the fire, while emergency services quickly moved away surrounding yachts and put up anti-pollution barriers.
Officials said the boat was likely to sink in the port and the cause of the fire is still being investigated.
