Report Content

As reported by CSSN.

At midday on September 11, 2019, at position 12.3N 62.42W, approximately 42 miles west of the northern end of Grenada, a Grenadian fishing boat was approached and boarded by the occupants of a 35-40ft boat with 4 x 75HP Yamaha outboard engines. Eight (8) Spanish speaking men were onboard the suspect vessel, armed with automatic weapons.

Three (3) of the pirates boarded and robbed the 3 fishermen of mobile phones, food, batteries, fish and other supplies. No shots were fired, and no damage was done to the fishing vessel. There were no injuries and a full report was made to the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF). No further investigation is planned by RGPF as this incident occurred outside territorial (jurisdictional) waters.

This location is off the usual north-south track for most island hopping yachts, but this area is crossed by yachts departing the Eastern Caribbean for points west and those that depart the Greater Antilles direct to Grenada.
