Crime against yachts in the Caribbean – Annual Report 2024 Released
In 2024, reported incidents of crimes against yachts reached an all-time high of 145 – up 41 % from 103 in 2023. The surge was driven almost entirely by non-violent offenses, which rose 57 % (137 vs. 87). Violent incidents, by contrast, fell 50 % to 8, their first decline in recent years.
A steady climb through most of the year, capped by a record spike in December, produced the new annual total. The CSSN Annual Report 2024 analyses those trends and highlights an encouraging turn away from the violence of prior years, while pinpointing both familiar and emerging hotspots.
CSSN continues to deliver indispensable risk-planning information to our community. First-hand, volunteer-vetted reports form the backbone of our centralized, publicly accessible database, providing cruisers with timely, accurate information about how and where they cruise. Enhancements rolled out this year – including new analytical tools on the CSSN website – are showcased in the the CSSN Annual Report 2024.
