In the morning of Sunday 19 January, the yacht Princess X95, 29 metres long, presumably chartered by hip-hop producer, Metro Boomin, suddenly caught fire while it was docked near one of the most famous strip clubs in Miami, Florida.

According to the New York Post, employees of Booby Trap, the strip club, got to work right away to help rescue the people on board the yacht, including Metro Boom and five crew members. There were no injuries reported and the cause of the fire is unknown.

It took 30 units of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to put out the fire. After being called by several witnesses, the fire fighters arrived and tried putting out the fire from land and river. It was particularly difficult due to the size of the vessel and the large amount of fuel on board. It took several hours to put out the flames. The authorities remain even after the fiore was put out in order to contain the fuel spillage and minimize pollution.

The yacht which caught fire was the Princess X95, and was built in the United Kingdom by the Princess shipyard and delivered in 2022.

It has a gross tonnage of 140.0 GT and a beam of 6.71m. Naval architecture was curated by Bernard Olesinski, and has a fibreglass hull and superstructure.
