A California couple on their honeymoon in Hawaii filed a US$5 million
lawsuit against a snorkeling firm after they claimed to have been
abandoned in the water for almost an hour. The duo claimed that the
snorkeling tour group left them in the water, forcing them to swim to
land.
The episode happened in September 2021 when Elizabeth Webster and her
husband, Alexander Burckle, visited the little island of Lanai, which is
close to Maui, to go snorkeling. The couple described their horrific
experience in a federal lawsuit they filed last month. According to NBC
News, they were among the 44 people boarding the Sail Maui for the Lanai
Coast snorkel trip.
The couple claimed in their complaint that the captain told them they
would stay anchored there for roughly an hour before moving on to the next
destination. About an hour later, as the couple began to head back to the
boat as the waves became choppy. But to their surprise, the Maui Sail
Company vessel was no longer there.
The pair attempted to stay afloat and send out distress calls after
realising that the boat had departed, but they finally found themselves in
much deeper, choppier water, according to the New York Post. The duo "were
beginning to panic and were struggling to swim in the ocean conditions,"
they said in their lawsuit. "They feared that drowning was imminent," the
suit added.

They ultimately succeeded in reaching the coast of Lanai, but were
"fatigued and exhausted" by the time they got to the island. They got
assistance from an islander who provided them with water and allowed them
to use their phone.
The claim also alleged that the staff failed to accurately count everyone
who had returned fromsnorkelingg.
