The popular YouTuber couple Riley and Elayna have been making videos in their anchored yacht for a while. They have amassed an impressive fanbase over the years.
What shocked many, however, was their recent Sailing La Vagabonde accident when they were going through Japan.
Key Takeaways
- La Vagabonde is a yacht that was struck by a boat on their way through Japan.
- The couple, Riley and Elayna, who owns the boat, gave out a public statement regarding the situation on their Facebook page.

According to Yahoo, the case has now been deemed hit-and-run by the Japan Police.
The couple in this case were confrontational about the situation and made sure to not back from letting their followers know about the truth.
In their official page, Riley wrote,

The post further said,
From this, it is clear that the accident and the event, overall, are still under investigation.
It is not just the followers who do not know, with clarity, about the situation, but also those who were actually affected by the incident, including the owners of the yacht.
