The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the vessel in Thursday’s crash was 25-foot fishing boat that struck the rocks on the Marin County side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Officials from the San Francisco Fire Department, which assisted in Thursday’s response, said they regularly conduct joint water rescue drills with Marin County firefighting agencies and use shared communications systems to coordinate responses around the bridge.
Thursday’s deadly boat crash comes two months after a Volare cabin cruiser capsized in the San Francisco Bay. That boat’s captain, John Boisa, told police the Volare was on autopilot when it hit what officials described as a “rogue wave,” rolling the vessel starboard and shifting its weight, the Chronicle reported last month.
Carol Boisa, 74, and Tondra Madruga, 58, both of Sacramento County, were on the Volare cabin cruiser when it capsized on July 14 near Alcatraz Island. They both died along with 79-year-old Clifford Boisa, a retired reserve deputy who served with the Sutter County Sheriff’s Office who was rescued from the water by first responders but died later from his injuries.
Jackie Boisa, Clifford Boisa’s wife, also was on the boat that day. She remains missing and is presumed to have died. Carol and Clifford Boisa were the siblings of the boat’s owner and operator, John Boisa, who was among the 16 survivors.
