A massive search continues for a missing skipper at Scholte, a drone and a drone.

A 46-year-old Austrian skipper fell overboard during strong weather conditions while sailing near Šolta, Croatia, on Sunday morning. The incident occurred on a catamaran from 2021, which had six other Austrian citizens aboard. According to their accounts, the skipper went to check a rope entangled around the propeller but was thrown into the sea by strong winds and waves. He failed to grasp the rope thrown to him and disappeared beneath the surface after several minutes. Search efforts continued Monday morning at 6:30 AM, involving vessels from the Split Maritime Rescue Service, the coast guard, and drones. The search area expanded westward due to time elapsed since the incident. The maritime rescue chief emphasized the dangers of setting sail in bad weather and assured that the search would continue until the skipper is found. The remaining six passengers were safely accommodated in Trogir and are in good condition.

Expanded search area for missing skipper off Scholte

The Ministry of Sea, Transport, and Infrastructure has expanded the search area for a citizen of Austria who went missing early Monday morning while sailing near the island of Šolta. The search was initiated due to extremely unfavorable weather conditions at sea, which worsened after the disappearance report. Multiple rescue units, including vessels from the Split Port Captaincy, the Hvar Coast Guard, and the Split Airport Police, participated in the initial search efforts. A customs ship equipped with thermal monitoring systems and a Pilatus aircraft from the Croatian Border Guard were also involved. The search was temporarily paused overnight due to poor visibility but resumed the next morning. Today, the search perimeter has been extended toward Šolta and Drvenik Mali, with additional resources including drones and a border guard aircraft now participating.
