During the incident, the boat encountered a sudden storm, leading to eight-foot waves and 35 mph winds. The capsizing occurred after the boat left Emerald Bay and attempted to return to the marina. Passengers were given life vests, but only one wore it immediately, contributing to the tragic outcome. The group included a DoorDash executive and family members.
