Woman Falls Overboard On Mad Decent Boat Party -- Search Underway

Search teams are working around the clock to find a missing woman who fell overboard from the ship piloting the Mad Decent Boat Party. The Norwegian Cruise Lines ship was traveling through the Yucatan Channel 22 miles off the coast of Cuba when the woman reportedly jumped overboard.

The Diplo-helmed cruise set sail from Miami on Wednesday. Nov. 11 and planned to stop off in Cozumel, Mexico and spend a lot of time at sea before returning to Miami on Nov. 15.

Mad Decent and Norwegian Cruise Lines released a joint statement earlier today about the incident.

"Thursday, Nov. 12 during the chartered cruise on Norwegian Pearl, a female guest was observed intentionally going overboard while the ship was sailing the Yucatan Channel," Mad Decent and the cruise liner said in a statement. "The ship's crew immediately initiated rescue measures, including deploying three rescue boats and notifying the Coast Guard and other relevant authorities. The search for the guest is ongoing. Both the ship and charter company teams are providing support to the family and all impacted guests during this difficult time."

According to NBC News, Coast Guard are using rescue planes and boats to try and find the downed woman. All music has ceased and the boat is returning to the location of where the woman reportedly went overboard. The search is still ongoing.

The music comes in a long second at this point as coast guard search for this woman, but the 4-day boat party was slated to feature the likes of A-Trak, Skrillex, Major Lazer, Dillon Francis, G-Eazy, Oliver Heldens, Sam Feldt, Martin Sovleig among others.
