How do you take your cocktails - straight...or on the rocks?

Unfortunately, for the owner of motor yacht Cocktails, a Miami-based mega yacht charter vessel, it was the "rocks" that left his multi-million dollar baby a bit tipsy.

On Friday, the 85-foot yacht, Cocktails, ran aground near Nobska Beach in Woods Hole, Mass, after hitting a rock about 100 yards offshore.  According to the Coast Guard, the skipper grounded the vessel to prevent it from sinking.

No luxury yacht charter guests were onboard at the time of the incident - just the skipper and one crewmember. 

No fuel was spilled, and after dewatering the yacht, tugs towed the vessel to Fairhaven for repairs.  In New England for the summer, it is expected Cocktails will be fixed in time to return to Miami for the winter Florida yacht charter season.

There were no reports of any injuries...except to the skipper's pride...
