A New Year's cruise from Santos to Rio de Janeiro ended tragically. During the event, which was attended by the Brazilian Neymar, one of the participants jumped into the sea. The search for the man was unsuccessful and the 32-year-old was pronounced dead. The football player himself left the yacht a day before the tragedy.
In recent months, more has been written about Neymar's business activities than his performances on the pitch. In October 2023, the Al-Hilal player tore his cruciate ligaments during the match between Brazil and Uruguay and will not return to the field until August. However, this does not mean that the 31-year-old is idle. In recent weeks, the former PSG player signed a contract with MSC Cruises, a company that specializes in organizing cruises to the most picturesque corners of the world. The project “Ney Em Alto Mar” (Neymar on the open sea) was named after the star of the Arab League.

Although Al-Hilal fans don't like Neymar's non-sporting activities, the player doesn't care. His new business partner's offer included a New Year's Eve cruise from Santos to Rio de Janeiro. The face of the event was Brazilian and his presence generated a lot of interest and increased the already expensive ticket sales to almost six thousand euros.
The football player himself, together with the rest of the participants, received the party until December 29. Then he left the yacht and a day later the tragedy happened. After one of the parties, Brazilian DJ and YouTuber Carlos Alberto Candreva had an argument with his partner and jumped into the water. Unfortunately, despite an immediate search operation, the 32-year-old man was not found. He was pronounced dead by the services on Tuesday morning.
– I couldn't run away, help me. Everything happened very quickly. I was in shock. I just froze – the British “The Sun” quotes Candreva's partner.
