Assaulted During a Boat Party

Many times an assault can occur during a boat party, and the other guests at the party were none the wiser that it occurred. That is because there are separate chambers and rooms on a boat. Incidentally, if the boat or yacht is underway and out on the water, the sounds of splashing of the surf can generally muffle any scuffle or even yelling noises in some cases of a person in distress on board. Boats of all sizes and especially yachts have small rooms, such as bathrooms, water closets, salons, underwater level areas and confined spaces all around the watercraft. These are the areas that someone who is familiar with the boat can lure another guest into, to sexually assault the person away from everyone else at a boat party. It is going to be difficult to near impossible to get away from a sexual offender who has cornered you on a boat in a small and confined area.

Assaulted on a Boat

If you have been assaulted on a boat, there may have been nothing that you could have done to prevent this crime happening to you. People who work on boats or who are familiar with boat interiors often stalk other people, and wait for someone to be isolated on a boat inside the inner quarters to propose an attack. You can be assaulted quite easily on a boat, but you may not have known that when you took the invitation to board the boat for a party or event. If you have been injured on a boat, attacked or assaulted, you need to call us at the DTLA Law Group today. You can call us even as you heal from your personal injuries. Even if you are still under a doctor’s care for your personal injuries, you can call us and we can review your claim with you today.

Sexual Assault on a Private Boat/Yacht

People are sexually assaulted on a boat or a yacht, far too frequently. It is a terrible experience for you to have to go through, especially after being invited on a boat or a yacht for a social party or event. Many people are assaulted on a boat or yacht in the cabin areas, sitting areas when they are alone, or in the bathroom areas of the watercraft. Although yachts are very expensive to buy, they are uncomfortable inside and have tight cramped areas that comprise the living spaces of the boats. You can be assaulted in any area of a boat or yacht, including:

• Bathroom
• Galleys
• Bedroom
• Lower-level decks
• Closets
• Hideaway areas
• Under areas of the watercraft
• Behind closet doors
• Cubby holes to the engine room
• Storage areas
• In bathrooms
• In corridors and hallways
• Under deck sleeping areas
• Anywhere that is isolating from other guests on the watercraft

Many passengers and guests to a boat have no idea how to actually work any of the operating systems on a boat. That means, that the passengers and guests will not know how to make contact with anyone off of the boat to warn that the person is being sexually assaulted.

Passengers and guests may not be able to have access to help, by:

• Making a distress call
• Calling the U.S. Coast Guard for help
• Declaring an emergency on the boat
• Use the recording feature of a distress call
• Use channel monitoring of the boat radio
• Know if the radio is within full coverage of the coastline for receiving messages from the boat
• Understands how to make communication with shore during an emergency onboard
• Knows how to use a DSC-Capable Radio (if it is registered on the boat, the user can press the emergency call button for 5 seconds to make a call, and vessel information is automatically transmitted to help nearby)
• Knows how to use Channel 16 or “MAYDAY” distress calls for help

Unbeknownst to the passengers and guests on a boat tour, the sexual predators on the boat usually plan out how they will lure in the guests and sexually assault them once they are out to sea. This is not the fault of the guest and passengers on a boat tour, as they could not have anticipated that the boat tour crew planned to sexually assault them on their day out on the water. If a sexual predator sexually assaults a boat tour guest on the boat, then the guest needs to take action to hold the responsible parties accountable for their criminal actions.
