Mad Decent Boat Party promises four days full of \”Mad Decent\” fun, but that changes when someone takes it a little too far. According to multiple reports, it seems that a woman has either, fallen or, jumped off of the boat that is currently hosting the Mad Decent party. Currently, the boat is at a standstill and both United States and Cuban coast guards are currently hosting search parties in order to ensure that whoever fell off the boat is safe, meanwhile, a headcount is being held on the boat to ensure everyone else is accounted for. Also, all shows and activities being held for patrons on the boat party have been indefinitely suspended.
According to the inital report, the woman had allegedly jumped off at around 6:30 PM, local time of MBDP. The Mad Decent Boat originally begins in Miami, and ends in Cozumel and coincides with the finale of the Mad Decent Party tour series. This year\’s Mad Decent Boat Party is being held from November 11th to November 15th, and some artists that are performing at Mad Decent Boat Party includes Thomas Jack, Torro Torro, Party Favor, Major Lazer, Jauz, and Jack Ü.
