    Three multi-million dollar yachts were completely destroyed after a massive fire broke out at a Coconut Grove marina Saturday morning.

    Miami-Dade firefighters responded to the Grove Harbour Marina at 2640 South Bayshore Drive around 6:30 a.m. to reports of a fire on one of the expensive mega-yachts.

    The blaze quickly spread to three other boats, completely destroying three and leaving a fourth nearly destroyed, fire officials said.

    Officials said the smallest of the boats was 65 feet long, though they don't believe anyone was living on any of the yachts.

    One person was hospitalized with burns and a second person was treated at the scene for unknown injuries.

    Officials said they're still investigating the cause of the fire.

    I wonder if it was an arson for the insurance. That the fire got out of control and the other boats burned up instead of one!

    Interesting that the Updated story Headline is, "Crews remove torched yachts from marina" but later in the news article it states, "Officials are investigating the cause of the fire, but do not believe foul play was involved". Which is it, were they torched or was it an accident? Interesting!

    I wonder how long it will take to find out the original cause??????

    I'll try to follow up on that thought.

    You think that would hold true for all 4 yachts?
