The tragedy at Cape Kamenjak, rescued by Austrian shipwrecked sailors, the stormy weather across the Kvarner has caused a landing.

Three Austrian nationals were rescued after their sailing boat capsized off the coast of Kamenjak due to severe weather conditions on the northern Adriatic. The incident occurred around 4:44 AM when the National Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC Rijeka) received a distress call. Rescue teams, including maritime police and coast guard units, launched a coordinated search operation that lasted over two hours, successfully locating the stranded individuals by 6:48 AM. The three survivors were safely transferred to a rescue vessel and taken to safety. The damaged sailboat was left at the scene, with plans to tow it to a safe harbor through commercial means. The same adverse weather caused multiple incidents involving other vessels in the areas of Unije, Suska, and Lošinj, leading to dozens of capsize reports. Despite the chaos, no casualties or environmental damage were reported. Authorities continue to urge mariners to exercise caution in the region.

12 people evacuated, including six children

A sailing incident occurred off the coast of Hvar due to adverse weather conditions, resulting in the capsizing of a two-masted sailboat with 12 crew members, including six children. All individuals were Spanish nationals. The event was reported to the National Maritime Rescue Coordination Center in Rijeka on July 21st at 22:58. Officials from the Hvar Coast Guard Station (ILK Hvar) responded promptly and located the overturned boat. They confirmed there were no injured persons among the crew and evacuated all 12 people to a rescue vessel by around 23:30. The boat, owned by a local charter company, remained at the scene until it was commercially towed to Hvar port. The owner had already engaged specialized maritime assistance personnel overnight. The boat was secured in the harbor while investigations into the cause of the accident continue. No environmental damage was observed at the site.

The search for a missing skipper goes into the night: 'As long as there is hope, we will search for him'

A 46-year-old Austrian skipper has gone missing after falling off his sailboat during rough weather early in the morning.
