A multimillion-dollar motor cruiser once owned by the family behind the Wild Oats XI yacht has been destroyed in a massive fire in Sydney’s north.

Emergency services were called to Woolwich Dock about 8.10pm on Saturday following reports of a boat fire.

NCA NewsWire understand the boat, Andiamo - which is estimated to be worth between $5 and $10 million - was once owned by Sandy Oatley, the son of the late Australian yachtsman and businessman, Bob Oatley.

The family is best known for owning the nine-time Sydney-Hobart-winning yacht Wild Oats XI.

Upon arrival, the boat was found to be fully engulfed in flames.

Firefighters worked for some time to extinguish the massive fire, a difficult task given the extent of the fuel load.

Fire and Rescue NSW Superintendent Adam Dewberry said the boat was filled with 4000 litres of diesel when the fire broke out.

“It took so long [to extinguish the fire] because it’s a large vessel, and we had no access onto the yacht itself, it just wasn’t safe to get on board,” he said.

Police have confirmed the fire is not being treated as suspicious.

There are no reports of any injuries.

The Oatley family have been spending time on Hamilton Island for the tourist hot spot’s annual race week, hosted from August 19 to 26.

They are celebrating 20 years of owning the iconic island destination, after the Oatley patriarch purchased the island in 2003 for $200 million.

It is understood two other famous boats usually docked at the Woolwich Dock - where the Oatley’s own the lease - Wild Oats XI and Andoo Comanche, were both docked on Hamilton Island at the time of the fire.

Law Connect - which came in second to Comanche in the 2022 Sydney to Hobart race - was moored at the

dock on Saturday night but was not damaged by the fire.

Officers attached to the Marine Area Command have commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fire.

Anyone with information into the incident is urged to call police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The uncle of missing cult members Chantelle McDougall and her daughter Leela who disappeared from a small rural town in 2007 is raising funds to launch a new investigation to find them.

The Victorian Premier has blasted the actions of protesters who stormed the Victorian Labor Conference on Saturday.

Watch: Fire destroys billionaire’s luxury yacht in Sydney

Monday, September 4th, 2023

Written by: Marine Industry News

Fire has destroyed a luxury yacht in Sydney’s Woolwich Dock.

The destroyed AUS$10 million luxury cruiser Andiamo is reportedly owned by Sandy Oatley, son of the late Australian wine pioneer Bob Oatley. According to the Sydney Morning Herald , the billionaire Oatley family also owns Wild Oats XI , the nine-time line honours winner of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.

“Initial firefighting efforts were to not only extinguish the fire, but stop it spreading to a number of high-value vessels that were moored alongside the motor yacht. A young dockworker on-site at the time moved those other vessels away from the fire,” says fire and rescue NSW superintendent Adam Dewberry. While crews managed to contain the blaze, the vessel was ruined and sunk into the harbour.

No one was on board when the fire broke out, and there were no reported injuries.

Dewberry says the yacht was filled with 4,000 litres of diesel, causing ongoing concern for fire crews.

“It took so long [to extinguish the fire] because it’s a large vessel, and we had no access onto the yacht itself, it just wasn’t safe to get on board.

“The fuel loading of these vessels is quite high – fibreglass, plastics, foams, polyurethanes, any number of things you would associate with any [vessel] of luxury that has accommodation facilities.”

Dewberry says it is too early to tell what caused the blaze, but it isn’t being treated as suspicious.

Curtain booms have been installed at the entry to the dock to contain debris from the destroyed vessel, and any contamination from firefighting foam used to extinguish the flames.

Yacht fires are not rare. Recently, seventeen people were rescued from the luxury yacht  Irmao , as the 88-foot vessel was engulfed in flames (12 August 2023). The incident occurred off the beach of Es Cavall d’En Borràs in the Ses Salines Natural Park, Formentera.

One response to “watch: fire destroys billionaire’s luxury yacht in sydney”.

I wonder about li-ion charging. Could the fire have been caused by chargers for laptops, phones, radios, bicycles, water toys.

Should ALL chargers now have a timer-cutoff device by international decree? I think it should be looked at, along with fire-proof boxes in which casual small devices are left on charge.

Yacht destroyed in Sydney Harbour

Australian authorities have launched an investigation into a fire that destroyed a yacht on saturday night….

Police and fire investigators are looking into the cause of a fire that destroyed and sank a yacht in Sydney Harbour, Australia. The vessel is reportedly 59m  Andiamo  from Azzura Yachts, however, this is yet to be confirmed, with images of the incident appearing to show a yacht under 30m.

Authorities were called to the scene at around 8pm on Saturday night to find the vessel engulfed in the blaze.

“Initial firefighting efforts were to not only extinguish the fire but stop it spreading to a number of high-value vessels that were moored alongside the motor yacht,” says Adam Dewberry, Superintendent, Fire and Rescue NSW. “A young dockworker on-site at the time moved those other vessels away from the fire.”

Firefighters worked through the night to put out the blaze, which was eventually extinguished around 6am on Sunday morning. Dewberry says the yacht was filled with 4000 litres of diesel on Saturday, which added to the extremity of the fire.

“It took so long [to extinguish the fire] because it’s a large vessel, and we had no access onto the yacht itself; it just wasn’t safe to get on board,” he says. “The fuel loading of these vessels is quite high – fibreglass, plastics, foams, polyurethanes, any number of things you would associate with any [vessel] of luxury that has accommodation facilities.”

The multimillion-dollar yacht is reportedly owned by Sandy Oatley, the son of the late Hamilton Island owner, Bob Oatley. The Oatley family also owns Wild Oats XI , the nine-time line honours winner of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.

No one was injured during the incident. Marine Area Command is continuing the investigation into the cause of the fire.

Cause Sought in Sydney Yacht Fire

Sydney police are investigating a fire that destroyed a yacht reportedly owned by a prominent Australian resort and maxi racing family.

Firefighters arrived Saturday night to Sydney’s Woolwich Dock to find M/Y Andiamo engulfed in flames. Nearby boats were threatened as firefighters got to work.

According to a report in the Sydney Morning Herald , the yacht is owned by Sandy Oatley, son of the late Bob Oatley, who owned popular Great Barrier Reef destination Hamilton Island. According to the newspaper, the Oatley family also owns Wild Oats XI, the nine-time line honors winner of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.

Fire and Rescue New South Wales Superintendent Adam Dewberry said that crews were able to contain the fire and damage to other vessels was prevented, but that the vessel was ruined and mostly sunk.

“Initial firefighting efforts were to not only extinguish the fire, but stop it spreading to a number of high-value vessels that were moored alongside the motor yacht. A young dockworker on-site at the time moved those other vessels away from the fire,” Dewberry said.

“It took so long [to extinguish the fire] because it’s a large vessel, and we had no access onto the yacht itself; it just wasn’t safe to get on board.

“The fuel loading of these vessels is quite high – fibrerglass, plastics, foams, polyurethanes, any number of things you would associate with any [vessel] of luxury that has accommodation facilities.” The vessel had been filled with 4,000 liters of fuel earlier that day.

Dewberry said that while investigations were continuing, the fire was not being treated as suspicious.
