Boat Capsizes in SF Bay Leaving 3 Missing | Global News

A tragic boat capsizing on San Francisco Bay claimed three lives as a vessel carrying 20 family and friends—out to scatter ashes—was overturned by a wave. Sixteen were rescued, but one died shortly after being pulled from the frigid water. The missing: Carol Boisa, Jackie Boisa, and a friend of the deceased daughter. The boat’s owner, Ralph Boisa, whose own daughter died a decade ago, described the crushing grief. Despite an 800-square-mile Coast Guard search, operations were suspended pending new leads. Witnesses saw people trapped inside, pounding windows, as cold water shock—below 60°F—threatened survival. The sunken vessel’s depth remains unknown, complicating recovery. Marine weather showed no advisories, despite 5-foot swells. Investigators probe passenger weight distribution and whether steam (mistaken for smoke) played a role. The boat, Volare, registered in Stockton, sank near Alcatraz. Ralph Boisa remembered his brother as joyful—and the family is shattered. The Coast Guard offered heartfelt condolences.
