Mentions that the captain wasn't on the boat when the accident occurred--what type of liability is there for the boat owner if not on deck?

The boat insurance will likely have to pay, but there's no law against a boat owner swimming when there are other people on the boat and he will not likely face any charges if true. Whomever drove the boat into the victim will likely face charges.
