The yacht went in a circle, but it could not be ruled out that it might change direction at some point and endanger the beach visitors.

According to the information, the yacht had previously injured a 33-year-old woman in the water on the hip and one leg. The woman, like all the other occupants of the yacht, had fallen into the sea after the ship was hit by a big wave, as it was said.
The regional newspaper “Levante” reported that panic had broken out among the bathers on the beach. Since the fuel ran out after around an hour, the sea rescue service had no problems recovering the yacht.
