Unfortunately, after a trip south, the popular boat and crew suffered a horrible accident on the return leg of their trip when they were struck on their starboard side by the 330-foot mega yacht Atessa IV just nine miles off the coast near the international border. Though the Prowler did not sink, the damage to the sportboat was substantial; early estimates reported that it is a total loss. One person lost his life and two others suffered injuries. A Coast Guard vessel transported 17 of the 29 people that were aboard the Prowler, while the Atessa IV, which sustained minimal damage, transported the remaining 10 back to San Diego.
