West Harlem Piers where the boat accident occuredAt approximately 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, a 200-foot yacht called Timeless struck a dock near Riverside Park while attempting to moor along the Hudson River in Manhattan. According to the New York City Fire Department, 35 people were injured in the incident, including 22 individuals who were transported to nearby hospitals for medical treatment. Thankfully, all reported injuries were non-life-threatening.

The yacht, which was reportedly hosting hundreds of passengers, collided with a pylon as it approached the dock near West 125th Street and the Henry Hudson Parkway. The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed that the vessel sustained damage and that marine units were dispatched to escort the yacht to shore, where emergency personnel triaged and assisted injured passengers.

As New York personal injury attorneys, we are closely monitoring this incident and the ongoing investigation into its cause. In situations involving commercial or chartered vessels, multiple parties may share responsibility—including the boat’s operators, event organizers, or even maintenance providers—especially if negligence played a role in the crash. Investigators will likely examine whether the vessel was operating at a safe speed, whether it was properly maintained, and whether the crew was adequately trained and sober at the time of the incident.
