The thing about a splendid yacht like the Loon is that it doesn’t have to be the biggest (like the mighty Koru) or one of the fastest (like Azzam) to draw attention. Becoming the center of attraction is second nature for the luxurious 223-foot Icon Yachts superyacht. Owned by American billionaire Craig Leipold, the vessel arrived at the Medici dock of Portoferraio in Livorno and instantly became a sight to behold.

This Wisconsin billionaire’s superyacht is so stunning that when docked in Italy’s Livorno port more people flocked to see the vessel than an otherwise breathtaking sunset.

BRATUNAC, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — A boat carrying migrants from the Middle East overturned while crossing the Drina River from Serbia to Bosnia, drowning at least 10 people, officials in the two Balkan countries said Thursday. Serbian police received a call around 5 a.m. from their counterparts in Bosnia and a citizen who reported the accident, said Interior Minister Ivica Dacic. Dacic initially said 18 migrants, including three children, managed to cross into Bosnia, out of 25 people who were in the boat when it overturned. But he later said the number of victims had reached 10, suggesting there might have been more migrants in the boat when it capsized.  “The lifeless body of a baby that is about nine months old has been found,” said Dacic. “The baby was with its mother whose body was pulled out of the river earlier today.”
