    Or, a great place - depending on the desired outcome.

    Not good. But at least it's far away from other boats in a crowded marina and also close enough to land that everyone got off safe and tendered to shore instead of the middle of the ocean.

    From the final looks of the wreck, we may never know how the gen-set(?) started this fire?

    Out of idle curiosity, I googled the name and size, and found a Hargrave.
    Is she the one? Hard to tell from the wreck photos...

    According to Maritime Exec she was a Hargrave, but a DDG search revealed several boats under the 'La Dolce Vita' name including a Sunseeker, Lazzara & Moonen. The latter is alloy, so we can rule that out. This was a composite boat. Hard to discern from the on-fire photo, but it looks like the window profile of this Hargrave...

    Definitely looks like the Hargrave. She was for sale, just reduced $800k to $2.99M
