A luxury yacht owned by Latin singer Marc Anthony was destroyed in an overnight fire in the Miami bay, the local fire department and US media reported Thursday.

Firefighters took two hours to control the blaze, but the 36.5 meter (120-foot) long yacht could not be saved, officials said.

Two crew members were believed to be on board the "Andiamo" when it caught fire late Wednesday, "but they were able to get off safely, and there were no injuries," the Miami Fire Rescue Department said.

Investigators are probing the origin of the blaze, which did not spread to nearby vessels, officials said.
