Newlywed couple sue for $5million after being 'abandoned' on Hawaii snorkelling trip

A newlywed couple left abandoned during a snorkeling trip after their tour operator miscounted the number of passengers is suing the company for $5million (£4.1million).

Alexander Burckle and Elizabeth Webster, from California, US, were on their honeymoon in September 2021 when they organised a trip with Maui Sail Company to go snorkelling off Lanai in Hawaii.

The couple, along with 42 other excited passengers, arrived at 10am at Lahaina Harbor in Maui and were told the boat would anchor in the middle of the ocean for an hour while everyone went snorkelling.
