Luxury $4m Boat Explodes In Flames At Docklands -- Herald Sun

UPDATE: A LUXURY cruiser that sank after an inferno on a Docklands marina had been delivered to its new owners just yesterday.

The Herald Sun has been told the $4 million 2010 model Horizon Skylounge arrived from a Queensland boat dealership.

A friend of the owner said the family did not wish to comment on the incident, but they were devastated.

"They're pretty upset. It had been delivered today, ready to be enjoyed by all," he said.

Four people were aboard the 24m cruiser when it erupted into flames about 4.30pm, sending plumes of black smoke across the city.
