The watercraft was anchored and the operator/owner had just started the electric grill on board when he noticed smoke coming from it. He also noticed smoke from a garbage can next to the grill. The garbage can caught fire and it spread to the cabin and to the area that contained an electrical panel. All 10 passengers were rescued from the burning boat within minutes. In another couple of minutes, the boat was fully engulfed. All passengers were brought to shore by another boat. There were no injuries.
