Passenger lost both legs in propeller incident after Pearl Island excursion

A lawsuit describes a May 12, 2025 excursion ending with a passenger in the water beside a catamaran, where a propeller caused injuries requiring both legs to be amputated. She alleges unsafe alcohol service and that staff directed her to use the sea as a toilet. Pearl Island and Sun Cay sought dismissal of the Florida case on jurisdictional grounds. That filing is not a ruling on what happened or who was responsible.
