The chaos unfolded on Sunday off the coast of Cholón – a bustling tourist hotspot in Columbia’s Rosario Islands. Multiple boats and watercrafts can be seen bobbing in the peaceful blue waters – until the jet ski comes roaring into view. The shock collision left the boat spinning in the water with a freshly splintered front. The local port authority has launched a probe into the collision. No injuries or deaths have been reported, confirmed officials. A spokesperson for the Cartagena Port Authority said the facts still needed to be “verified”.

Hundreds of tourists swarm to Cholón during weekends and peak periods – clogging the waters with boats, jet skis and other watercrafts. The bustling waters have led to some tragic accidents – with one many losing his life two years ago. Italina national Nicholas Cudini, 26, was killed in December 2024 after two boats crashed together in Cholón . Nicholas competed in the highest levels of US college football – playing for the Santa Clara University team. His body was discovered by the coast guard after nearly 24 hours after the fatal collision. Earlier this year a heroic Brit sailor saved the lives of an antire boatload of people after the vessel was sunk “titanic-style” off the coast of Columbia. The boat had allegedly been slammed by “pirates” in the Caribbean. Christian Powys-Keck, 33, immediately dashed below deck to alert passengers and crew as the holed yacht filled with water. The bare-chested Brit and desperate survivors were left clinging to a holed life raft and debris for 20 minutes in darkness. But all were rescued and were safe on land in Colombia last night as their hero was dubbed “Fletcher Christian” – after the crew’s saviour from Mutiny on the Bounty. Comment now
