It’s a scene that would bring a tear to the eye of any Russian oligarch, supermodel or top football star.

Footage and photos have emerged showing a superyacht, believed to have a market value of approximately £4million ($6.2million), sinking off the coast of the idyllic Greek island of Mykonos.

Local reports said four foreigners were on board the superyacht – believed to be the Aloha – when it ran aground on a reef at dawn yesterday.

Photos obtained by Boat International show most of the superyacht submerged, with just its bow sticking out of the water.

None of the occupants were injured, and they were rescued from the sinking vessel and taken to shore, the Mykonos Daily reported.

The newspaper said port officials set up a boom around the motor yacht, which has a US flag, to absorb any fuel or oil that seeps into the sea.

A report by Superyacht News suggests the vessel hit a reef between the tourist resorts of Platis Gialos and Psarrou.
