Based on the crew’s hearings it seems that there was a birthday party aboard and they tried to get close to the shore to get some 4G signal.

Here are a few pics taken from my garden (the ship is roughly 10km away), the first one taken shortly after it ran aground:

Speaking from personal experience, please never make someone sit on the middle rear “seat”.
A long time ago our car broke down and a family friend picked us up in his 406 Coupé and I had to sit on said thing until we got home, it isn’t a fond memory.
