Frankie Tours Boat Sinks Near Buccoo Reef | Trinidad and Tobago News

A Frankie Tours boat sank near No Man’s Land in Buccoo Reef Marine Park, thankfully with no injuries aboard—thanks to nobody being on board. Refloated Tuesday with a pump and water brigade help, the vessel is now deemed unseaworthy, and its cause remains a mystery. Surveyor Ricardo Alfred warns that bystanders filmed the sinking instead of calling for help—a dangerous trend. Owner Michael Frank stays optimistic, noting their larger boat is still operational amid peak vacation season. He’s considering equipment failure or even sabotage as possible causes, though he’s not accusing anyone yet. Repairing the vessel locally is tough due to Tobago’s lack of proper facilities like a slipway, making the fix complex and risky. Frank’s determined to get it back on the water despite the hurdles.
