Natalie Rohrs has requested to join Natalia Niznik, Klara Holubova, and Austin Scaccianoce in their lawsuit against Capt. Paul Reid Clarke in response to injuries Rohrs claims she suffered when when the tender of M/Y Loon struck rocks ashore in Saint Barthélemy on Dec. 21, 2024. Rohrs was the sous chef on board the 67-meter Icon Yachts motor yacht and is seeking a trial by jury to recover amounts due for negligence, consequential damages, attorney’s fees and costs, and punitive damages, according to a complaint Triton acquired. M/Y Loon’s tender, Reel Wild, collided with rocks after a celebratory luncheon on the northern coast of Saint Barthélemy on Dec. 21, 2024. According to the complaint, Clarke abandoned the vessel’s helm and left the tender to cruise at a speed between 48 and 51 miles per hour in darkness before it collided with the coast. Rohrs was reportedly sitting in the second row of seats behind the helm of Reel Wild at the time of the collision. The force of the collision caused Rohrs to be thrown forward in the interior of the tender, be flung over the first row of seating before the helm, and land on her back and hit her head on the aft deck, according to the complaint. She reportedly then lost consciousness and sustained injuries to her back, neck, head, and left foot. Rohrs received initial care at a local hospital in Saint Barthélemy following the incident and was found to have suffered a spinal fracture, concussion, and other physical injuries, according to the complaint. She also experienced substantial mental and psychological trauma from the incident and has undergone treatment for it. “Defendant Clarke’s negligence was the proximate cause of Intervening Plaintiff Rohrs’ injuries because it was reasonably foreseeable that abandoning the helm of a vessel while it was moving at a high rate of speed in the complete darkness and near a rocky shoreline would lead to a catastrophic crash of the vessel and Intervening Plaintiff Rohrs’ injuries,” the complaint stated. Clarke was the captain of M/Y Loon. The yacht is available for private charter and was well-known for its online presence across platforms like YouTube and Instagram — reaching more than 200,000 subscribers. Loon’s accounts were wiped after the collision, with videos deleted or archived on YouTube, its Patreon deleted, and its Instagram page unable to be found. Images by Le Journal de Saint-Barth.
