Was it one of those ferry party boats, a tour boat, or a private yacht? The article is unclear in that regard and I think it makes a difference to the context of the accident.

An excursion craft called L’Océanne capable of carrying 20 people. The word “yacht” is used, but the suggestion is that it was chartered for a party.

Looks like it’s a rental yacht for partying. Not a big one but yachts come in many sizes.
