  Crews and an excavator were called in on Saturday, January 4, to remove a luxury sports cruiser that had run aground on Redhead Beach in the early hours of the previous morning.

A luxury boat named "The Kraken" ran aground on Redhead Beach in Newcastle, Australia, after its owner, a 58-year-old man, attempted to navigate through rough seas. The incident occurred when the boat, valued at $400,000, was caught in a large swell, leading to the grounding. The owner and his two passengers were safely rescued by Marine Rescue NSW volunteers. The boat, which was not insured, suffered significant damage, and efforts to refloat it were unsuccessful due to the conditions. The owner, who has been boating for 30 years, expressed his devastation over the loss of his vessel, which he had owned for only a year. The boat remains stranded on the beach, with plans to possibly dismantle it for removal.
