We saw the boat overturned.
It happened in front of the area between tikila and Sunsets. There was a lot of boat traffic in both directions a lot of wake and moderate winds.
I think the boat was waked by another going full throttle. Probably tossed the passengers to one side making it roll.
There were a few other boats in the area and the coast guard had their boat out also.
The captain was able to get it upright by lifting on the bimini until it was out of the water and then the hull popped upright like a cork.
He bailed for a while and got a tow back.
