Loss of Barbie cost insurance $20,000,000
The owners of the "Barbie" have been paid a total of $20,000,000 from a group of 14 Lloyd’s insurers. The yacht was destroyed in January, whilst moored in a marina in Marmaris. It was the largest claim that the superyacht insurance market has had to deal with in quite some time and was paid in full within 60 days. The "Barbie" was insured through Yachtsure24, which represents both Lloyd’s and A-rated European carriers. Talbot syndicate led "Barbie"’s insurance policy, along with 13 other insurers.

Luxury yachts gutted by fire
In the early morning of Jan 4, 2016, at 2 a.m. a fire in Marmaris gutted the "Barbie" and "The One". The fire broke out on "The One" before spreading to Barbie and took fire fighters four hours to extinguish. As they battled the flames, firefighters also had to pump water off the stricken superyachts to prevent them from sinking. Other yachts moored at the marine left the harbour to escape the fire.The two multimillion-pound superyachts have been gutted to charred wrecks. The cause remained under investigation. The vessels appeared to be a write-off, as the combination of smoke, heat and water damage meant that little would be left of the interior, engines and equipment,. Insurance underwriters will appoint a surveyor and loss adjuster immediately, but they will also be examining the policy fine print.
