"They're just shonky as, and they should have been on somebody's radar list from 2016," Ms Branch said.He skippered the cruise boat on and off for two years for Ahoy Buccaneers, while his fiance was head deckhand and chef.

"We nearly lost our house for overdue rent and had to struggle with the bills, nearly getting electricity and phone cut off," Mr Richards said.
