Video: It's amazing what a boatman can afford at Portorož

A motorboat was seen gliding dangerously close to the beach area near Hotel Bernardin between Portorož and Piran, within the designated swimming zone marked by red buoys. The video, shared by diving center Sharky on Facebook, shows the boat operating just meters away from swimmers, violating maritime safety regulations. According to rules, motorized vessels must stay at least 50 meters from shore, while gliding is only permitted beyond 300 meters. Violations carry fines up to €1,200. Although there have been no recorded fatalities in Slovenia due to similar incidents, several high-profile accidents have occurred in Croatia, including a fatal collision in 2019 and serious injuries in 2021.
