The yacht belonging to Puerto Rican singer Marc Anthony has capsized after a fire broke out at the vessel that was moored in Watson Island, according to sources.
The 120-foot long yacht, which was docked off the MacArthur Causeway at the Island Gardens Marina, could be seen with heavy fire and smoke billowing from its upper decks, tonight.
Marc Anthony was not on board the boat at the time of the fire, but six or seven crew members were on board and evacuated safely, a source said.

A family member of the marina’s owners spoke to the media while firefighters battled the flames.
“It’s sad, dog,” he said. “For us, as the marina and for the boat themselves, firstly, it’s important for people’s lives, but obviously then for the boat and for everyone’s safety, so right now everything is under control.”
