The fire broke out on a 41-foot boat named "Luv-It" at Schooner Island Marina at around 12:45 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22, CBS Philadelphia reported. The Coast Guard said the boat was docked at the marina's fuel station when the flames sparked.
No one was on the boat and no injuries were reported. Firefighters had the blaze put out by around 1:15 p.m.
A drone video posted on Facebook by Don Martin Realty showed heavy damage to the boat and a nearby portion of the dock.
