The captain sent out a distress signal, and the navy launched a rescue operation. Tourists were floating on the water wearing life jackets, among them children and elderly people. The boat's captain called colleagues in the vicinity via smartphone and asked for help, which is why, due to a lack of radio communication, the crew on the bridge of the 'Mein Schiff 1' were initially unaware of the accident. They were only informed by the local authorities after the boat's crew had also called the shore-based tour operator's headquarters and reported the emergency. Civil defense workers along with Dominican Navy, and residents of the communities of EMBA and El Crucero, meanwhile pulled the passengers from the water, and they received precautionary medical treatment on shore. Thanks to the swift intervention of rescuers and the navy, all were rescued, and none of them were injured. An external operator had offered the catamaran trip as part of a shore excursion program. The "Mein Schiff 1" has since continued its voyage to its next destination in Jamaica.
