Was this boat owned by one of the Canadians kidnapped from Samal Island Resort Marina and murdered last year? Having traveled there and between the southern islands I can offer it is a beautiful place. The armed guards on inter-island boats and resorts is a reminder of the real dangers in that corner of the world. Contact information for the estate please. Timo Thank you.

No, the owner of this boat is not one of the victims of the kidnappers. The owner was in the US when the events happened. But the boat is well in the marina where these sad events happened. If you send me a PM I will put you in contact with the Estate representative ... but you better move fast if you are interested because several people are interested already ...
