Carvalho further revealed that the partygoers who died were not wearing lifejackets. She later recalled that she had clutched a lifejacket in her hands and clung on for dear life.
She revealed: “There were very strong waves, we almost died. We didn’t know how to swim.
“I knew that I couldn’t take it for long. I hurt my foot and swallowed a lot of water. We threw ourselves into the rocks.”

In a statement, the Brazilian Navy said that an administrative inquiry had been opened to investigate the possible causes and responsibilities for theaccident.
It stated: “It is worth noting that there was no record of water pollution resulting from the sinking of the vessel.”
Nearly a month after the drownings, police reportedly said that the women died when their overloaded boat was swamped as it returned to the Brazilian coast.
São Vicente police commissioner Marcos Alexandre Alfino revealed that the influencers had refused to wear lifejackets.

The Daily Mailreported on Tuesday (October 29) that Alfino had said: “Some didn’t want to put them on because they were taking selfies.
“They said that they get in the way of their tanning.”
The captain, one of five survivors, reportedly said he had been ordered to take six influencers to the shore despite his boat having a maximum capacity of five passengers.
A skipper also reportedly told police he had desperately tried to save everyone.

As investigations are ongoing, Commissioner Alfino stated: “’All this is being determined very calmly to conclude if the fatalities were based on recklessness or negligence.”
Amorim, who was a mother of one, reportedly could not swim. She had previously posted images of herself on social media, posing on the boat in a bikini right before the tragic accident.
Meanwhile, Faria, who was aCrossFittrainer, had been a model since she was a schoolgirl.
The yacht sank after hitting a huge wave on September 29 in the Garganta do Diabo region, located between Porchat Island and Xixová-Japuí State Park, in a narrowing that leads into São Vicente Bay,Metrópolesreported.

The risks of drowning and other accidents, such as sinking ships, are consequently increased in the area.
This can change the wave patterns and their behavior as they approach São Vicente Bay, sometimes resulting in larger waves.
These conditions attract many surfers to the region, who must closely monitor tide and wave forecasts to stay safe.
Urban legendsare mainly responsible for giving the canal its name, which translates to “Devil’s Throat.”
Legends say that boats passing through the canal have been “swallowed,” akin to food in a throat.
“It’s destined to end in tragedy,” a reader commented
