FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A well-known food boat in Fort Lauderdale was submerged on Sunday after an accident.
Jay’s Sandbar Foodboat sunk after a stabilizer pontoon snapped, causing the floating restaurant to flip over.
Fortunately, everyone onboard was able to get off without injury.
“A wake from a passing boat hit us on our starboard side and sheared off our starboard outrigger,” a post on a GoFundMe page stated. “Those outriggers keep the boat level. She immediately started to roll and capsized in 4 minutes. We were able to get off as she flipped and thankfully no lives were lost.”
Jay’s Sandboat released a statement on Facebook, saying that they are devastated by the loss but grateful no one was hurt.
The post also said they are planning to rebuild.
