While being taken to the hospital, he told paramedics that his friend was still missing.

The U.S. Coast Guard closed the port while the investigation took place and crews worked to remove the sunken yacht from the waterway.

"We were supposed to be going to the Dominican Republic. Supposed to be at sea leaving at seven o'clock. However, we're still here in the cruise terminal. There's little food, little water on board the ship, it was a madhouse. There were actually a couple of fistfights that broke out," he told CBS Miami.PortMiami has fully reopened after a deadly boat crash near Dodge Island on Sunday that left thousands of cruise passengers idling at sea.
