One Injured as Sport Cruiser Ends On the Rocks in Ischia

A seven meter walk around sport cruiser titled m/y Aga Khan with five persons onboard ended on top the break wall to the entrance of the Port of Ischia harbour, in the North East part of Ischia island, just before mid-night of Sunday eleven August.  The port captaincy of Ischia responded to the collision with the CP 829 vessel rescuing the five boaters, with one of the boaters sustaining a light cut to his eyebrow, and was assisted by the 118 emergency services. Following the accident the skipper was found to be helming the boat under the influence of alcohol, and risks a nautical licence suspension from six months to one year.  The boat is reported to have ended atop the break wall for an error of navigation and the 22 knots speed.  The walk around sport cruiser was removed the following Monday morning, and taken into custody as part of the investigation on the accident.
