Ferry Sergio Gracia Aguilar partially sinks in Isla Mujeres

The Sergio Gracia Aguilar ferry, a vessel that has been out of service since 2018, partially sank at a pier in Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo, on Sunday, November 8, 2026. The vessel, formerly owned by the defunct company Marítima Isla Mujeres, was docked near the old Isla Blanca ferry.

Authorities, including the Mexican Secretariat of the Navy (Semar), municipal Civil Protection, and firefighters, responded to the scene to manage the incident. More than 20 personnel from various agencies were involved in the response efforts. While the local government of Isla Mujeres, led by Atenea Gómez Ricalde, reported providing support, officials noted that the matter falls directly under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat of the Navy.

The exact cause of the partial sinking remains unknown. There have been no immediate reports of injuries, damage to the pier, or environmental impacts, though technical reviews are typically required following such incidents to prevent further risks to the port area.
