Looks like the super panga hit a reef and sank.

Here's a report-trying to identify the company and captain now:

Soy familiar de unos afectados y efectivamente llevaba sobrecupo y exceso de velocidad, a 9 los llevaron al sanatorio de la marina y no requirieron atencion médica mayor pero a los otros 6: 3 mexicanos y 3 extranjeros tuvieron heridas mayores cotusion toracica, fractura de brazo, herida tobillo y policontundidos a los que llevaron al hospital salvatierra para su atencion, el responsable es el lanchero que nadie sabe como se estrello ni cual fue la razón fuera de su estupidez y la empresa ha respondido adecuadamente hasta el momento

Just sit right back
And you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin' lad,
The Skipper brave and sure,
Fifteen passengers set sail that day,
For a three hour tour,
A three hour tour.
