(PHOTO/VIDEO) Drunk tourists on Hvar sink a rented boat, and the locals laugh at them

On August 6, 2026, a group of intoxicated tourists rented a small boat on the Dalmatian island of Hvar and set out to sail along the coast. As their boat began to sink near the island of Jerolim, a local boat approached but instead of offering assistance, the locals used mobile phones to film the incident. The footage, which circulated online, showed the locals mocking the tourists, including one who joked, 'You cannot park here.' The Slovenian police confirmed that while helping at sea is mandatory, there are exceptions. They investigated the incident, found that the boat was operated by a Spanish citizen with a blood alcohol level of 1.37 promille, and determined that the tourists were safe and uninjured. The police concluded that the locals did not commit a criminal act because the tourists were not in immediate life-threatening danger.

A group of tourists, later found to be under the influence of alcohol, were involved in a boat accident near the island of Jerolim near Hvar.

A boat with tourists sank, the Croats laughed at them and filmed (VIDEO)

A video clip circulating online shows a boat accident near Hvar where a Spanish man, apparently under the influence of alcohol, was operating a sinking boat with other tourists. A group of Croatians passing by filmed the incident, mocking and laughing at the stranded foreigners. The local authorities confirmed that while maritime law requires assistance to fellow mariners in distress, this was not applicable here since the individuals were not in immediate danger.
