Two Injured as Sportfish Beaches in Atlantic Beach North Carolina

Two men reported minor injuries as a fourteen meter sportfish cruiser titled Full Cry ended beached East of the Doubletree Hotel pier in Atlantic Beach, Carteret County, North Carolina at about 18:00 of Saturday 22 June.  The sportfish cruiser had seven persons onboard, as camera footage show her running fully planned onto the beach.  The two hurt people were transported to a nearby hospital nearby, as the sportfish yacht was later refloated by TowboatUS.  The Atlantic Beach Police, Fire Department and EMS as well as the Pine Knoll Shores Police and Fire Department were all on the scene, with North Carolina Wildlife handling the investigation, and finding out if this beaching was caused from a mechanical failure or navigational error. 

Full Cry is a 2004 Croswait Boatworks 48 Custom Carolina, as designed and build by Bobby Croswait.  The Croswait 48 Custom Carolina offers sleeping accommodation for four in two cabins and is powered by twin Cummins engines for speeds up to thirty knots.
