There's a few rocks hidden just below the surface there, probably quite easy to do if you dont know the area and dont check charts

That looks very close in though - possibly inside the swim buoys.
I didn't recognise it but I wanted to know where it was for future ref.
We often end up in Illetas, Punta Negra or Palma Nova but this seems to be inside the little island called Illa d'en Sales.
Looks interesting though - might check it out with the RIB next time.
Here's an interesting drone video of that area that I reckon is the spot in the pic - could be wrong though.

Targa 43? If so shafts pulled out or p bracket through the hull?

Hurricane I reckon you are right, swum there a few times and always grazed a knee on the rocks, definatly not for a boat that size!

I think it is just inside Illa d'en Sales.
I never go in there because ofthe number of submerged rocks, even though i know the area reasonably well.

On a side note - I guess this is the risk of offering charters.
One assumes the boat was insured and with no one injured it could be worse

Would probably still be floating if it was on legs!
Might make a good project for you Pete?

Exactly what I was thinking. Got to be worth a bid to the loss adjusters. What do you reckon Pete

Nah not for me, but I'm sure it will end up on the hard somewhere or eBay with some mental asking price of £100k or so.

Incidentally, what's the boat that's tied up next to it. Cranchi?

I'd definitely consider a T43 casualty like this as a project boat, great hull, lots you could do with it.

Looks like a mid to late 90's sea ray

Not the first time inexperienced skipper has lost their boat in this cala....... usually it's because they have tried to enter thro' the west gap (almost impossible unless drawing less than 0.5m), only possible thro' the East gap and even then be careful as the bay is bouyed off for swimmers and is tight, if your anchor drags you can end up tangled up in the bouys which usually results with the boat on the beach or worse.

Looks like the other boat has a load of rocks on top of it.

The headlining in the saloon should be okay
