The alerts were turned on this Saturday, July 27, on the high seas due to the disappearance of a boat between Cancún and Isla Mujeres. According to data obtained, the 28-foot Hydrasport boat called Jigging set sail at 5 in the morning in search of fishing in the Arrowsmith area.
However, the crew families did not hear from them again, so they reported the incident to the authorities. On the boat were two young fishermen, Leo González and Fabrizio Cámara Pérez, along with the captain, whose name is unknown.
It turned out that the last coordinates they received located the boat approximately 18 miles south of the Nizuc shoal, and the wind could have diverted it towards the Isla Mujeres area.
The investigations showed that the last known stop of the fishermen was at a cooperative in Isla Mujeres, where they picked up the captain.
The Ministry of the Interior, the Port Captaincy, and the Secretary of the Navy (Semar) have intensified search efforts. Two Navy boats and ships are deployed in the area, focusing on the areas around Lower Arrowsmith and to the north.
The Águila 1 helicopter of the state Secretariat of Citizen Security has joined the search efforts with support from the Civil Protection agents.
The fishermen’s family requests the collaboration of anyone in the area who may have seen the boat.
