Bikini designer Martha Nolan-O’Slatarra, 33, was found dead aboard a docked yacht in Montauk, New York on August 5, just months after finalizing her divorce from husband Sam Ryan, court documents confirm.
Originally from Ireland, Nolan-O’Slatarra was known for her luxury bikini line and magnetic social media presence. She was reportedly engaged to a new boyfriend, who was not on board the night of her death. In a final message, she told him she would “Uber home” after a business outing.
Authorities discovered her on the 54-foot yacht Ripple, alongside the boat’s owner—described as a man in his 60s—who was found naked and alone, frantically calling for help. Witnesses say he ran along the dock at midnight, shouting “Do something!” and throwing items, including a tube of sunscreen, to alert nearby boaters.
Despite CPR efforts from good Samaritans, Nolan-O’Slatarra was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident remains under investigation.
