Overview

• Two homeless Spanish men, aged 53 and 59, stole a 12-meter yacht from the Yacht Club San Antonio in Can Pastilla on Easter Sunday.
• The men, who usually sleep at Palma de Mallorca airport, ransacked the yacht's supplies before setting sail southward.
• The self-appointed 'captain' consumed excessive alcohol, rendering him unconscious, which led the other man to issue a distress call near Cabrera island on Monday.
• The Spanish Maritime Rescue Service dispatched a tugboat to recover the vessel, and the Guardia Civil arrested the suspects upon rescue.
• The incident highlights Mallorca's severe housing crisis, with soaring rents and limited affordable housing pushing many residents into homelessness.
