        I’m not sure the blame is being placed correctly here. It seems to me the owners are more at fault. One captain luckily made it out safe.

        👍 Owners are 100% at fault. The design was an inferior copy of a duck boat. Never should have been allowed in the water to begin with. Unless the captain was part owner his responsibility is insignificant overall.

        correct, it is the captains call at any point to call off a sailing for safety reasons. Based on the weather, they should of not of done that part of the trip.

        Craft that sank like that duck boat did, and there are many examples of similar incidents with duck boats at other locations, why are they even allowed? Why not just have a regular boat that won't plunge to the bottom trapping victims inside?

        I've been on a duck boat. A regular boat isn't as "touristy". Duck boat drives to the launch and is a different experience. This could have been a regular boat and still could have happened. Bad weather and a captain that didn't prepare the people is what made this tragic.

        Not sure how I feel about this. Somebody should be held accountable but why not the boating company?
