A catamaran carrying dozens of foreign tourists on a pleasure cruise capsized off the coast of Costa Rica on Thursday, killing three people, emergency official said. The boat, which was on a day trip to the popular Tortuga (Turtle) Island, sank completely about 9 miles (15 kilometres) off the country's central Pacific Coast. Rescue crews brought some of the surviving tourists to a naval base in Costa Rica's Puntarenas province, where they received treatment from emergency medical staff. Ted Olsen, a US tourist who was on board the catamaran, said passengers could "tell there was some concern with the crew". "It appeared it was pretty heavy seas and (we) started to take water on apparently on the right side, and within a minute it (the boat) was flipped," he said. Costa Rica's Public Security Ministry said in a Twitter posting that one of the victims was a US citizen and another was from Britain. The tour operator reported that the Pura Vida Princess, a 100-foot catamaran, left Marina Los Suenos in the morning with 98 passengers and a crew of 10. Rescuers had recovered 94 people from the shipwreck by Thursday afternoon. Authorities were still awaiting the arrival of one last rescue boat to make a complete account of those on board.
