On Wednesday, the skipper of La Luna, the yacht at the centre of the fatality in Cala Bona last Friday night, was interviewed for several hours at the Guardia Civil's Palma headquarters. He was formally placed under investigation for manslaughter and failure to assist.

Just TogetpublishedOr like the recent criminals who have been released with no punishment.!!! I do not understand the Courts and Laws in Mallorca. The Abagado's are really earning their fees here. If he is freed, is there anything that can be done???
There should be a zero tolerance approach to alcohol/drugs for skippers and crew. A boat is, in effect, a passenger service vehicle. I have heard so many stories of alcoholic captains, chefs and crew on superyachts - its disgraceful! I'm not one for tyrannical approaches but it is crazy for it not to be illegal when in charge of a mode of transport that can not only kill those on board, but also others, as tragically seen here. Zero tolerance or lose your ticket!
Anyone opened a book on what the sentence might be? Evens slapped wrist, 2-1 .....
Lots of money, wacky baccy, party time, no qualification to drive a lethal weapon, at speed at night, I m sure he was not aware of hitting another boat. I just wonder what he was aware of and certainly not his responsibilities As a Masrer Mariner of 30 years of worldwide seagoing experience, these are my thoughts. Take it or leave it.
