Enrique Valdez left Marathon, Florida, on April 27, 2024, aboard a 1977 34 feet Crusader Custom vessel, a commercial-style lobster fishing boat. He told a friend he intended to travel to Cuba to live with family. Neither Valdez nor the vessel has been seen since that departure date.

There are no further details about his preparations, equipment, or whether he filed a float plan. If you have any information about Enrique, the boat, or sightings between Marathon and Cuba after April 27, 2024, please come forward.
