What Crew Members Say About Petrel

On February 28, 2024, the yacht 'Petrel I' docked in Vigo carrying a detainee and a staggering 200 kilograms of narcotics. This operation stemmed from a coordinated effort by the Civil Guard and the National Police that successfully intercepted a Venezuelan-flagged sailboat approximately 500 miles from the Canary Islands, which was laden with eight bales of cocaine. A lone Portuguese national was apprehended on the yacht, which was notably small at just 11 meters in length, and the drugs were discovered distributed throughout the vessel with minimal concealment. Unfortunately, while in tow, the deteriorating condition of the sailboat led to its sinking. Consequently, the 'Petrel I' returned to Vigo with both the confiscated drugs and the detainee.
