    Hard to tell what's happening since the video is shot from far away, but the yacht appears to be the Oceanco Amore Vero (ex-St. Princess Olga). MarineTraffic shows she's anchored off St. Tropez.

    Could you please post a link to that video? The Oceanco boat is about 80 metres, and the other link shows a 19 metre yacht?

    It was apparently near the oceanco so it was false alarm, fishtigua's link proves it.
