What happened to the Thriller Miami tour boat?

In a recent and terribly frightening incident, 13 people were hospitalized, with at least one being airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital, after a collision on the water a few miles away from Port Miami. Officials said two boats collided just after 3:15pm, injuring 29 people in total. One of the boats involved is Thriller Miami Speedboat Adventures.

Per 7News, “The collision happened on Feb. 11, miles away from Port Miami. Several agencies, including Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, units with City of Miami Fire Rescue, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the scene.”

Video footage obtained by 7News indicates that the charter may have T-boned the speedboat, or the Thriller boat may have veered into the charter boat’s path. An investigation by the US Coast Guard is ongoing.

Captains of vessels must be alert and aware at all times, as well as follow all navigational rules, and we believe the victims of this accident should be able to sue for injuries and damages. Just because you signed a waiver doesn’t mean you do not have legal options.
