Spanish family missing after tourist boat sinks in IndonesiaJAKARTA, Dec 27, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - A Spanish family of four is missing after a tourist boat sank in Indonesia, state news agency Antara reported Saturday. Seven people including two Spanish tourists, four crew members and a tour guide were rescued. The Labuan Bajo port authority attributed the sinking to high waves of up to three metres (10 feet), Antara said. "This made it difficult for us to carry out the initial search," port authority chief Stephanus Risdiyanto told the agency. Marine accidents occur regularly in Indonesia, a Southeast Asian archipelago of around 17,000 islands, often due to lax safety standards and bad weather.
