Owner of the yacht 'ANDRANA', Pignol, and a US national Malcolm Russell Williamson who were on board, are being questioned by Customs and Immigration officials, the sources told PTI.
Pignol said they had set sail from Oman and were on their way to Madagascar before they landed near Kochi due to
rough seas and bad climatic conditions.
The yacht was seized from near the Port administration building at nearby Wellington Island.
The two occupants had only passports and no other documents, including visa, the sources added.
