Tourists get lost in Boston Whaler, call 911

Somerset Bridge area

Two holidaymakers had to be guided back into Somerset Bridge after they got lost in their rented Boston Whaler in the West End.

Bermuda Radio received a 911 call at 5pm on Thursday from the visitors, who said they were unable to find their way back to the Somerset Bridge Watersports headquarters.

Watch officers contacted the watersport centre who then met the two visitors off Coco Reefs Resort and helped them back to Somerset Bridge. A statement by Bermuda Radio said: “The two visitors reported that they had become disoriented off the west end of the Island and were unable to find their way back to Somerset Bridge Watersports.

“Having ascertained the route taken by the rental boat, Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre called the operators who dispatched a jet ski to liaise with their guests.

“The rental boat made its way to the beach at Coco Reefs Resort where the operator met and guided them back to Somerset Bridge.”
