The yachts were located 80 nautical miles from Havana using Mexican naval aircraft, and communication was being maintained with the vessels via radio, according to an update from the Secretariat of the Mexican Navy (SEMAR).
The sailboats were reported missing on Thursday, after they lost communication with Mexican authorities, prompting a search and rescue operation.
The vessels are part of the Nuestra America convoy, Spanish for Our America, an international aid convoy made up of groups and individuals, largely from Latin America and Europe, delivering aid to Cuba, as per CNN.
'The Secretariat of the Navy reports that an aircraft from the Mexican Navy has located the catamaran-type vessels that were being searched for in the Caribbean. They were located 80 nautical miles northwest of Havana, Cuba. A vessel from this Institution is already heading to the area to provide support. Communication via radio is maintained,' Official Account of the Secretariat of the Mexican Navy said.

These boats set sail from Isla Mujeres in the Mexican Caribbean, on Saturday, March 21, and were expected to arrive 'between the night of Friday, March 27 and noon on Saturday, March 28,' according to the convoy, as quoted by CNN.
This initiative is inspired by the Sumud Global Flotilla which attempted to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza in 2025, as per CNN. (ANI)
