On April 24, 2026, a transport vessel associated with the reality TV series 'Below Deck' caught fire in the waters off Mo'orea Island, which is part of French Polynesia and located near Bora Bora. Eyewitnesses reported that the vessel, a tender used for ferrying passengers between larger yachts and the shore, was engulfed in flames, producing thick smoke. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident. While the vessel was not one of the primary luxury yachts featured on the show, it is still considered a costly and essential component of yacht operations. The cause of the fire is currently unknown, and it remains unclear if any production activities were taking place at the time. 'Below Deck' has been airing on Bravo since 2013, showcasing the lives of young crew members working on high-end yachts.
