The 48-foot cabin cruiser Seaduction was stopped Sunday near the Rickenbacker Causeway after the owner was found in violation of a “Captain of the Port order issued earlier this month, U.S. Coast Guard officials said.

Coast Guard officials said the boat was issued multiple violations including failure to have a valid Certificate of Inspection, failure to have a drug and alcohol program, failure to employ a credentialed mariner and falsifying information to a federal officer.

“Protecting public safety on our waterways is our highest priority,” said Chief Warrant Officer Adel Khan, a Coast Guard Sector Miami marine investigator. “This weekend, a vessel operator, already a repeat offender, chose to disregard both a Captain of the Port Order and our repeated, good-faith offers of education and outreach. Such willful noncompliance puts passengers, crew, and the entire maritime community at risk.”
