The U.S. Coast Guard and a good Samaritan boat rescued 32 people after a luxury Lamborghini Tecnomar yacht sank off the coast of Miami on Saturday.

U.S. Coast Guard Southeast said a crew from Station Miami Beach responded along with local agencies at around 5 p.m. Saturday to a report of a 63-foot vessel taking on water near Monument Island.

Photos shared by the Coast Guard show dozens of bikini-clad influencers calmly using their phones and taking selfies as the vessel slowly sank. Videos posted on social media — by both onlookers and passengers themselves — showed the group of mostly women laughing and joking while being rescued. Some even managed to save personal items like a laptop and a bottle of champagne.

Everyone was safely rescued, with no injuries reported, the Coast Guard said. No cause for the sinking was immediately available.

The Coast Guard said a commercial salvage company was working to recover the yacht, which did not pose a threat to other boaters in the area.
