Prior name but the contact on the webpage is the same guy that was arrested...
They're going to have a hell of a time getting it out of there in one piece as it must be filling up with sand from the surf. Still heavy swells and seas of uo to 7' off PB into tomorrow

Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
I wonder if he will have to go thru the same expensive loops people go thru when they get caught drinking and driving. I sure hope so. Jail time, loss of license, insurance cost quadruple. Etc etc

Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
Here is our news people doing their Job.

60' yacht Washed Up in the Cove.
All on the same page really don't they read the shit they report
Another one
PALM BEACH, Fla. - Beachgoers in Palm Beach were shocked to find a large yacht washed ashore Wednesday morning.
"failed to navigate his vessel into the Palm Beach Inlet and ran the vessel into the beach."
So did he run aground or did it just wash up really guess its the same thingDan

Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
Every once in a while we get these boats that run up on the beach coming back from the Bahamas. Usually center consules but bigger sportfish too. Most times with no one on board. I figure guys by themselves go to take a leak in the cockpit fall over and off the boat goes.

Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
Sad how preventable accidents happen. In the ocean as we all know, accidents happen, and can happen very easily. That to me is what makes preventable accidents such as this one even worse. To think this guy ran the boat aground because he was drunk, and he offers his services to take poeple out in the ocean. Hopefully he is more professional then what it appears here, and wouldn't risk the lives of people chartering his boat. Maybe this was a one time incident that he got caught up in, but for some reason I doubt that.
What a shame, it looked to be a nice boat.
Does anyone know how the salvage rights would work in this case being the boat is beached? Could anyone show up and save the boat and look to get paid big money or does it have to be someone that's hired in order to get paid?

Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
Since they re advertising a charter business, it would seem that this guy is, or rather was, a licensed captain...
As to salvage right, there is no big money to be made. The boat is toast and worth less than what it will cost to get he off the beach. Sitting even just two day in the surf, the inside must already be full of sand. Sand gets stirred by the waves, comes in with water and settles inside the boat, especially the engine room thru the vents
I doubt they ll be able to put her and refloat her.
Anyone remember the video of the 50 ish sea ray flybridge that beached in th Devils back bone a few years back? They got it out with bulldozers...Pascal
