On November 12, 2026, the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF) confirmed the safe recovery of three men who had been listed as missing at sea, after the group was found stranded aboard their small vessel roughly 40 nautical miles off the Aves Islands maritime zone. The trio, identified as Davel Baron, Ryan Royer, and a third as-yet-unidentified male mariner, were spotted by the crew of the French-flagged commercial cargo ship CMA CGM Marseille, which diverted from its scheduled route to pull the adrift group from the open water. Official police records show Baron and Royer were last confirmed on land on November 2, before their families filed missing person reports: Baron’s case was logged with the CDPF on November 5, and Royer’s report was submitted five days later on November 10. Local law enforcement immediately issued public missing persons alerts, distributing the notices across community groups, maritime networks and regional partner agencies to expand the search perimeter. As the rescue operation was finalized, the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) based in Fort-de-France, Martinique, dispatched a dedicated emergency medical helicopter to provide on-scene health assessments and transport support for the three survivors, who had spent 10 days exposed to open ocean conditions. In an official public statement, the CDPF extended formal gratitude to the crew of the CMA CGM Marseille, the MRCC Fort-de-France team, all regional maritime authorities that contributed to the search, and ordinary members of the Dominican public who helped amplify the missing person alerts to expand visibility of the case. No life-threatening injuries have been reported among the three rescued men as of the latest update from local officials.
