M/Y Goose Stewardess Dies after Fall on Board
On June 10 at about mid-morning, 26-year-old Stewardess Amber Crouse died after falling down stairs on board 45-meter M/Y Goose in Port Lympia in Nice, France. While going down an interior staircase, Crouse tripped and fell, a source told Boat International . While other crewmembers were able to respond quickly, efforts by emergency services were unsuccessful in reviving her.
Her boyfriend and fellow crewmember Ashley Ogborne started a Just Giving page to help cover the costs to repatriate her back to her family in South Africa, along with funeral costs and after care for her family.
On the page, Ogborne writes, “Amber was the kindest and most happy soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. A person who you felt you‘d known your whole life within 10 minutes of meeting her. She had a zest for life like no other and lived each and every day with purpose, passion, and excitement. She was the love of my life, and I will miss her for every day that I have left in mine.”

Young SA stewardess dies in freak accident on super yacht in south of France
A young South African stewardess has tragically died on a yacht in Nice, in the south of France.

A young South African stewardess has tragically died on a yacht in Nice, in the south of France. The 26-year-old allegedly slipped down an interior staircase, falling so hard she severely damaged her neck, according to the Nice Matin.
The freak accident took place on Saturday morning where the 45-metre boat was docked at Papacino quay in Port Lympia, Nice, on the French Riviera where tons of South Africans flock to find work on super-yachts.
According to Nice Matin , the stewardess had been working on The Goose for two years. The newspaper did not name her, however her boyfriend has started a fundraiser to enable her body to be repatriated to SA, and he has named her as Amber Crouse, who attended Pretoria High School for Girls and the University of Pretoria.
A fellow crew member reportedly found Amber unconscious and tried CPR before calling emergency services and firefighters (who also provide medical services in France). Despite all their best efforts, they were unable to revive her.
Amber had returned for the season, a port regular told the Nice Matin, and slipped down the stairs. “ C’est l’accident bête (It’s a freak accident.),” they said. Initial investigations seem to confirm this is what happened. A source in France told SAPeople she was sadly found at the bottom of the crew mess staircase, and had tragically fallen so badly her neck was broken.
The late stewardess’s boyfriend also works on board The Goose, reports Nice Matin.
Ashley Ogborne has started a fundraiser on Just Giving . He says:
“On Saturday 10th June 2023, Amber was cruelly and prematurely taken from us whilst working in Nice, France. “I would like to help raise funds for her full repatriation, funeral costs and after care for her family, whom she had been a pillar of support for. “Amber was the kindest and most happy soul I have ever had the pleasure of meeting – A person who you felt you‘d known your whole life within 10 minutes of meeting her. She had a zest for life like no other and lived each and every day with purpose, passion and excitement. “She was the love of my life and I will miss her for every day that I have left in mine. “Any help would be so gratefully received in order to make this time as pain-free as possible for her family.”
Whilst competitive, the yachting community is extremely tight knit, and over 153 people have already contributed £6,600 of the £10,000 target. Please donate here if you’d like to help: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/amber-crouse
Writing on Facebook, Ashley said: “Thank you so much for everyone’s kind words, comments, phone calls and support to myself, Amber’s family and my own family.” He said all the funds raised will be given to Amber’s mum, dad and only sister “ in a bid to make this process a little easier for them. Any kind donations or help along the way would be very much appreciated. A family should have only mourning on their minds at a time like this, and any financial burdens that we can help alleviate the pain for would go a long way.”
Ashley’s dad, Kelvin Ogborne, posted a shining tribute to Amber who was “the most incredible person and your outlook on life was nothing but joyous.. You left a lasting impression on EVERYONE you met!!.. I thank you for not only being you, but for the joy and happiness you brought into my son’s life.. You were without doubt SOUL MATES… My thoughts are with your parents at this time.. ”
He said: “To my sons, I have nothing but respect and admiration for how you have dealt with this.. Ashley even in your time of mourning, as always you think of everyone else.. Grant, I finally realise you’re a man now. Family is family. Amber.. You will be missed.. Run free Sea Gypsy.. You were a very SPECIAL young lady…”
The Goose is currently on sale for $3,7-million, according to Boat International. It includes a 70m squared sundeck and is able to host 100 guests for static events. The boat has five guest cabins (for 10 guests max) – the master, two doubles, and two twins; as well as sleeping quarters for ten crew members. The luxury yacht, which does charters, is known for being dog friendly yacht and is scheduled to be based in Montenegro this summer. Crew are apparently “renowned for their outstanding service”.
Updates: By 10pm on Tuesday 13 June, over £10,000 has been raised. Ashley Ogborne says: “Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity. What a great community of friends, family and loved ones ❤️”
The Pretoria High School for Girls Old Girls’ Association posted a message on Tuesday saying: “The OGA is surrounding the family and friends of Amber Crouse with strength, healing and love after her tragic passing this weekend in Nice, while working aboard a yacht. May the beautiful memories of her sustain you all through this difficult time. Amber who matriculated from PHSG in 2015 was loved by so many. Rest gently Amber.”
One of her friends wrote: “Fly with the wind Angel Ambz ?? You will always be loved and remembered for your kind and loving heart ❤️ You could heal this entire planet with just one hug ? My deepest Condolences to the Crouse Family, our prayers are with you during this difficult time ? Amber Crouse I’ll see you in the stars beautiful ✨️”

DA: Woman dies, another victim in critical condition after sailboat, motorboat collide off Weymouth
A woman has died from her injuries and a second victim remains hospitalized in critical condition after a sailboat and motorboat collided in the water off Weymouth in August, authorities announced Tuesday.
The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office said it has launched a death investigation into a collision involving a 38-foot motorized Sea Ray vessel and a 21-foot Pisces sailboat that occurred in the area off Grape Island on the afternoon of Aug. 16.
One of the victims hurt in the wreck, 70-year-old Patricia Cicalese, of Walpole, has since died from her injuries, the DA’s office said. The other victim, whose name hasn’t been released, continues to fight for their life in the hospital.
“Prosecutors and Massachusetts State Police detectives from the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office have assumed jurisdiction and are working in concert with the Massachusetts Environmental Police to investigate this death,” a spokesperson for the DA’s office said in a statement.
Cicalese was on the sailboat when it was struck by the motorboat, a Massachusetts Environmental Police Officer Christopher Ahlborg stated in an affidavit filed in Quincy District Court.
Video captured by a Boston 25 News photographer showed the sailboat gradually sinking as emergency response boats flocked to the scene of the crash.
“The sailboat had capsized and the motorboat somehow attached and hung up on the sailboat,” Ahlborg wrote in the affidavit.
Ahlborg said the motorboat captain was bringing his vessel back up to speed after leaving a “no wake zone” when he spotted a small fishing boat crossing in front of him less than a mile away. At the same time, Ahlborg said the captain was “trying to pay attention” to the speed of another vessel he was traveling with.
“When he turned his head back, he saw the sailboat, but it was too late,” Ahlborg stated in the affidavit. “He tried to turn hard to the starboard side but could not avoid the collision.”
The boat captain and his wife were “visibly traumatized” but not injured in the crash. They told investigators that they were heading to Gloucester for the weekend at the time of the collision.
Ahlborg noted in the affidavit that he believes “probable cause exists that digital forensic evidence may exist within the marine electronics for the potential violations of reckless or negligent operation of a motorboat.”
In the affidavit, Ahlborg stated that he’s requested a search warrant to forensically examine a GPS device, and trained personnel with the United States Coast Guard Investigative Services would be asked to extract “pertinent” electronic and historical data.
There have been no criminal charges filed in connection with the crash. Anyone with information is urged to contact the DA’s office at 781-830-4990.

On Board M/Y Goose: A trip back in time for our MD
.png "motor yacht goose accident")
Superyacht Content’s Managing Director, Mark Upton, took a trip back on board M/Y Goose at the 2022 Monaco Yacht Show, where she was listed for sale with Cecil Wright . It was on this classic vessel that he landed his first Superyacht crew job before moving up to become a yacht captain. Mark, however, remembers Atlantic Goose (her name when he worked on board) as being more than just the first yacht he ever worked on, it was also where he met his wife, Victoria.
In our interview with Mark, we learned more about the yacht’s legacy, and how it felt to return aboard after 25 years.
About M/Y Goose:
Built to Lloyds class by renowned UK shipyard Tough Brothers and completed in 1987, M/Y Goose was launched originally as BRAVE GOOSE – the second yacht by the same name belonging to the late Sir Donald Gosling. She was rebuilt in 2000 and has been meticulously maintained ever since, with the most recent significant work taking place in 2021/2022. The vessel has just passed her Lloyds 5-Year survey.
M/Y Goose can accommodate up to 10 guests across five deluxe suites comprising a full-beam master stateroom on the main deck with a further four en-suite guest cabins positioned amidships on the lower deck for maximum comfort. Further accommodation can sleep a crew of ten to ensure a high level of guest service.
The contemporary but country-style interior for Goose was conceived by H2 Yacht Design and features delicate walnut and ash wood paneling and fine soft furnishing fabrics in the expansive interior guest lounge.
Q&A with Mark Upton, former Captain and current Managing Director of Superyacht Content:
1. how long did you work onboard m/y goose, and what was your role on board.
MU: I joined “the Goose” as a deckhand on 11th October 1997. 25 years ago today. I joined in Hamilton, Bermuda, just before a boss trip before heading south to the Caribbean. I was only actually on board for about 10 weeks due to the owner going through the process of buying a new yacht. So, at the end of December, a few of us moved on to the new yacht.
2. Having worked on a few vessels in different roles, what sets M/Y Goose apart from other Superyachts you worked aboard?
MU: She was and still is a very traditional design. She probably bridges the gap between yachts of the 60’s and 70’s, and the more modern design of a full-width owner’s cabin. However, by modern standards, she is still small, compared with recent yachts of the same length. At the MYS she was next to M/Y Gitana, which is a very similar length but looks a whole lot bigger.
3. Stepping back on board 25 years later, how did that feel? Has the vessel’s interior changed dramatically? Does it have the same atmosphere?
MU: To me, she seems exactly the same. A lot has changed really as she’s been refitted, but the feel and style are still there, and still the same. She’s such a classic.
4. During your time on Goose is there a memory/destination that sticks out to you as your favourite moment onboard?
MU: My first day on board. It was the day I met my future wife for the first time. I knew right then and there. Unfortunately for me, she didn’t see the attraction straight away! Bermuda and Atlantic Goose will always hold fond memories for me.
5. Lastly, M/Y Goose has recently been listed for sale. Could you describe the type of owner you would like to see buy M/Y Goose and how you would like the boat’s legacy and history to continue?
MU: I think the previous owners of The Goose all fall into the same category. Traditional British owners who view the yacht as a home from home. The current Captain and I both described her as a “country cottage’. She is like a home-from-home, comfortable, familiar, and a place you look forward to being. I think the new owners will be similar. She’s a great yacht to travel on and be comfortable on when you get there. Ideally, someone who will be sympathetic to her history and maintain her as a classic yacht, rather than try to modernise her aesthetically too much. It would be great to see her looking the same in another 25 years!
Cecil Wright is delighted to announce their appointment as the Central Agent for the sale of GOOSE , the 45m British-built motor yacht, with an asking price of €4,950,000 (excluding tax).

Inside the shocking Sicily yacht tragedy that left 7 people dead
There was a violent storm, but even then, luxury yachts are built to weather such events. so why did this boat sink off the coast of sicily, leaving seven people dead, by natalie finn | e news • published august 24, 2024 • updated on august 24, 2024 at 10:34 am.

But what was supposed to be a routine pleasure cruise aboard a superyacht turned deadly all the same on the morning of Aug. 19 when the 184-foot Bayesian got caught in a storm and sank off the coast of Sicily .
"I can't remember the last time I read about a vessel going down quickly like that," Stephen Richter of SAR Marine Consulting told NBC News . "You know, completely capsizing and going down that quickly, a vessel of that nature, a yacht of that size."
Of the 22 people onboard, including crew, seven people died. The last of the bodies was recovered Aug. 23, an expectedly sad coda to what had already been a tragic week as the search for answers as to how this happened got underway.
And to be sure, every minute of the Bayesian's ill-fated outing is being fiercely scrutinized, starting with the general seaworthiness of the vessel itself.
Because, frankly, this was a freak occurrence.

"Boats of this size, they’re taking passengers on an excursion or a holiday," Richter explained. "They are not going to put them in situations where it may be dangerous or it may be uncomfortable, so this storm that popped up was obviously an anomaly. These vessels that carry passengers, they’re typically very well-maintained, very well-appointed."
But in this case, a $40 million yacht sank, seven people are dead—including a billionaire tech mogul and his 18-year-old daughter—and morbid fascination doesn't need a second wind.
Here is how the story of the Sicily yacht tragedy has unfolded so far:
What happened to the yacht that sank off the coast of Sicily?
The Bayesian had set off from the Sicilian port of Milazzo on Aug. 14 at capacity with 12 guests and 10 crewmembers aboard.
The aluminum-hulled vessel was built in 2008 by Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi and registered in the U.K. Cruise sites listed it as available for charter at $215,000 per week, per the Associated Press.
On the morning of Aug. 19, the superyacht was anchored off the coast of Porticello, a small fishing village in the Sicilian province of Palermo (also the name of Sicily's capital city), when a violent storm hit.
The vessel "suddenly sank" at around 5 a.m. local time, seemingly due to "the terrible weather conditions," the City Council of Bagheria announced shortly afterward, per NBC News .
At the time, only one person was confirmed dead—the ship's chef—but six others were said to be missing. The 15 survivors—who managed to make it onto an inflatable life boat, according to emergency officials—were rescued that morning by the crew of another yacht that had been nearby when the storm hit.
"Fifteen people inside," Karsten Borner, the Dutch captain of the ship that was able to help (the Sir Robert Baden Powell), told reporters afterward, per Reuters. "Four people were injured, three heavily injured, and we brought them to our ship. Then we communicated with the coast guard, and after some time, the coast guard came and later picked up injured people."
When the storm hit, his boat ran into "a strong hurricane gust," Borner said, "and we had to start the engine to keep the ship in an angled position."
They "managed to keep the ship in position," he continued, but once the storm died down, they realized the other boat that had been behind them—the Bayesian—was gone.
The wreck ended up settling 165 feet below the surface, according to Italy's national fire department.
Fire officials said that divers, a motorboat and a helicopter were deployed to search for the missing.
Meanwhile, footage was captured of the ship capsizing on closed-circuit TV about a half-mile away from where it was anchored.
In the video obtained by NBC News, the illuminated 250-foot aluminum mast of the ship appears to list severely to one side before disappearing completely. Survivors recalled having just a few minutes to literally abandon ship.
Who were the seven people who died when the yacht Bayesian sank?
The tragedy initially became headline news because billionaire tech mogul Mike Lynch—"Britain's Bill Gates," some U.K. media called him—was among the missing. His body was ultimately recovered Aug. 22 .
"They told me that suddenly they found themselves catapulted into the water without even understanding how they had got there," Dr. Fabio Genco, head of the Palermo Emergency Medical Services, told NBC News Aug. 22. "And that the whole thing seems to have lasted from 3 to 5 minutes."
Genco said he got to Porticello about an hour after the Bayesian capsized.
Survivors "told me that it was all dark, that the yacht hoisted itself up and then went down," he said. "All the objects were falling on them. That’s why I immediately made sure, by asking them questions, if they had any internal injuries."
Why did the yacht sink?
Italian prosecutors are investigating to determine what transpired before the boat went down, according to NBC News.
Meanwhile, the CEO of shipbuilder Perini's parent company The Italian Sea Group defended the vessel itself as "unsinkable."
Perini boats "are the safest in the most absolute sense," Giovanni Costantino told Sky News Aug. 22 . What happened to the Bayesian "put me in a state of sadness on one side and of disbelief on the other," he continued. "This incident sounds like an unbelievable story, both technically and as a fact."
Costantino said it had to have been human error that led to the boat sinking, declaring, "Mistakes were made."
"Everything that was done reveals a very long summation of errors," he told newspaper Corriere della Sera Aug. 21, in an interview translated from Italian. "The people should not have been in the cabins, the boat should not have been at anchor."
The weather was "all predictable," he continued, adding that the storm "was fully legible in all the weather charts. It couldn't have been ignored."
The yacht's captain, identified as James Cutfield of New Zealand, was taken to Termini Imerese hospital for treatment. From there, he told La Repubblica, per Sky News , that he didn't see the storm coming.
Borner, the captain of the ship that rescued the 15 Bayesian survivors, told NBC News that he noticed the storm come in at 4 a.m. local time, and saw what looked to him like a waterspout, a type of tornado that forms above water.
The International Centre for Waterspout Research posted on X Aug. 19 that it had "confirmed 18 waterspouts today off the coasts of Italy. Some were powerful waterspouts, one of which may have been responsible for the sinking of a large yacht off of Sicily."
Borner said he didn't know why the Bayesian sank so quickly, guessing "it may have something to do with the mast, which was incredibly long." (A tall mast, even with its sails down, means there's more surface area exposed to wind, which can result in tipping.)
Confirming that one person was dead and six unaccounted for immediately following the wreck on Aug. 19, Salvo Cocina of Sicily's civil protection agency told reporters that a waterspout had struck the area overnight.
"They were in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said.
The 59-year-old founder of software firm Autonomy had been on the trip with his wife Angela Bacares and their 18-year-old, Oxford-bound daughter Hannah to celebrate his recent acquittal in the U.S. on fraud and conspiracy charges stemming from the $11.7 billion purchase of his company by Hewlett-Packard in 2011.
In a bizarre turn of events, Lynch's co-defendant at trial, Stephen Chamberlain, the former vice president of finance at Autonomy, died after being taken off life support following a road accident on Aug. 17. Chamberlain's attorney told Reuters Aug. 20 that his friend and client had been out for a run when he was "fatally struck" by a car.
Meanwhile, multiple people who contributed to Lynch's defense were on the cruise with him and his family.
The bodies of Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer—who testified on Lynch's behalf—and his wife Judy Bloomer, as well as lawyer Chris Morvillo, a partner at the U.S. firm Clifford Chance, and his wife Neda Morvillo, a jewelry designer, were recovered on Aug. 21 .
In a LinkedIn post thanking the team that successfully defended Lynch, Morvillo wrote, per Sky News , "And, finally, a huge thank you to my patient and incredible wife, Neda Morvillo, and my two strong, brilliant, and beautiful daughters, Sabrina Morvillo and Sophia Morvillo. None of this would have been possible without your love and support. I am so glad to be home. And they all lived happily ever after…"
The first casualty confirmed Aug. 19 was the ship's Canadian-Antiguan chef, later identified as Recaldo Thomas.
"He was a one-of-a-kind special human being," a friend of Thomas told The Independent . "Incredibly talented, contagious smile and laugh, an incredible voice with a deep love of the ocean and the moon. I spoke to him nearly every day. He loved his life his friends and his job."
Hannah's body was the last of the missing six to be found , with divers bringing her remains ashore on Aug. 23.
Lynch and Bacares, who was rescued, also shared a 21-year-old daughter, according to The Times.
While awaiting trial, Lynch—who maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings—had spent 13 months under house arrest in San Francisco. Back home in London afterward, he admitted to The Times in July that he'd been afraid of dying in prison if he'd been found guilty. (He faced a possible 25-year sentence.)
"It's bizarre, but now you have a second life," he reflected. "The question is, what do you want to do with it?"

Collision between motor yachts Minx and Vision with loss of 1 life
Location: Île Sainte-Marguerite, near Cannes, France.
Accident Investigation Report 1/2021
Read our marine accident investigation report, which includes what happened, actions taken, and recommendations:
MAIB investigation report 1-2021: Minx and Vision
In the evening on 25 May 2019, the Gibraltar registered motor yacht Vision collided with the UK registered motor yacht Minx, which was anchored at Île Sainte-Marguerite, near Cannes, France. Minx’s crewman was on the foredeck and there was nothing he could have done to prevent being fatally struck by Vision’s bow. The accident happened because Vision’s skipper underestimated the risk associated with attempting a fast, close pass by the anchored Minx, a manoeuvre intended to provide an opportunity for the guests to wave goodbye, as the charterer had asked. Vision’s skipper had also consumed cannabis, which is likely to have impaired his judgement.
Safety Issues
it is vital for the safe operation of a commercial motor yacht, that the skipper prioritised the safety of the crew, passengers and the vessel
Vision’s surface-drive propulsion system was complex to operate and there were insufficient margins for error in the skipper’s plan to allow for any misjudgement, loss of control or failure
the use of recreational drugs, even in a ‘tolerant’ individual can impair decision-making and responses, which are vital for the safe operation of vessels
the accident took place in an anchorage with a 5-knot speed limit applicable to all vessels; however, Vision was proceeding at over six times that limit. Speed limits exist for a reason and it was unsafe to proceed at high speed in the anchorage
Recommendation
A safety recommendation (2021/101) has been made to the Royal Yachting Association and the Professional Yachting Association to promulgate the safety lessons from this accident to owners and operators of commercial motor yachts.
