Yusiel Lopez Insua was sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to seaman’s manslaughter in the July 28, 2025, Biscayne Bay collision that killed three girls at a sailing camp. A camp counselor and two other girls survived.
The court also imposed three years of supervised release, during which Lopez Insua may not operate a vessel or serve as a lookout. The factual proffer accompanying his guilty plea states that the tugboat was pushing a construction barge that blocked his forward view and that no one aboard the barge was assigned to or acting as a lookout.
