Shocking moment catamaran sinks during tourist trip as 38 people rescued from sea Dozens of tourists were thrown into the sea when a catamaran off the coast of Thailand suddenly sank.
The Ameray 888, registered in October 2014, was carrying 33 Chinese tourists, one tour guide, one intern and three crew members when it went down.
Earlier this year, a yacht carrying tourists crashed into rocks and sank during a chaotic New Year's Day boat trip.
The vessel was heading for the island of Koh Hey and the 44.39-gross-ton vessel sent a distress call shortly after departure.
The Ameray 888 started to take in water through a detached starboard window shortly after setting off in the south of Phuket, Thailand.
