A Memorial Day at sea turned into a disaster as nearly a dozen people were hospitalized in Florida after their boat appeared to explode and gush into flames in Fort Lauderdale.

The U.S. Coast Guard reported that an investigation is underway to determine what caused the boat to explode and injure the 13 passengers on board near the Lauderdale Yacht Club.

“Reportedly, a vessel exploded around 5:45 pm w/ 13 ppl aboard, Mon. near the New River Triangle, Ft. Lauderdale,” the agency wrote in an alert on X. “Multiple injuries reported.”

Coast Guard officials shared images of the yacht, showing a large fire coming from the vessel and debris spread out in the water. 

The agency added that a good Samaritan rescued the three passengers on board the sinking ship.

No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
