Shocking moment 300ft superyacht smashes into much smaller boat

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

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

Moments later, disaster strikes as the vessel’s bow crashes into the stern of a 101ft motor yacht. 

It is unclear why the collision occurred, but the smaller boat has suffered major damage at the stern. Those onboard were left uninjured.

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

The motor yacht that was struck is also a luxurious boat with a sundeck, lounge and room for up to eight people.
