"It's a hit that I really cannot take," said Javier Martinez, a deckhand who says he is owed more than $1,400 for 89 hours of work last month. "This was the last thing I thought was going to happen." Martinez, 55, said he has tried contacting the ferry's owners to no avail. He shared screenshots of messages he sent to Johnathan Silvia, the CEO of Poseidon Ferry LLC, that have not been returned.
David Guthrie, who worked as a captain for Poseidon, believes at least 10 people are owed money. He is owed for four days of work after he was paid for July, while another captain is owed more than $6,000. "They haven't paid anyone for the entire month of August," Guthrie said.
Ralph Andrade, a lobbyist for Poseidon, said he wasn't aware of the employees' concerns but would seek more information. Miami Beach spokesperson Melissa Berthier stated the city is aware of the situation and "evaluating our options."
