The Brazilian Navy has opened an investigation into an incident in which a couple was struck by a tourist boat that simulates a pirate ship in Balneário Camboriú, located in Santa Catarina state. The couple, who were stopped and kissing on their jet ski, were hit by the vessel on Sunday, resulting in no serious injuries. The collision has drawn the attention of authorities due to the unusual circumstances of the incident, prompting the Navy to look into what led to the occurrence.

Officials from the Port Captaincy in Itajaí have stated their intention to uncover the causes, circumstances, and responsibilities surrounding the accident that took place at the exit of the Barra do Rio Camboriú. Following the collision, a team of four Navy personnel visited the site to conduct preliminary assessments and gather testimonies from those involved. However, specific details about the incident remain sparse, highlighting the need for a thorough investigation to ascertain what transpired.

This incident raises concerns about safety regulations involving tourist boats and personal watercraft in Balneário Camboriú, a popular leisure destination on the southern coast of Brazil. With the area frequented by tourists, the potential risks associated with boat traffic and the safety protocols in place will likely come under scrutiny as the investigation unfolds. The outcome could influence regulations aimed at preventing similar accidents in the future.
