Hey Gunji, when I was researching the boat I found out that it's original owner, director Roland West, named the Joyita after his wife, Jewel Carmen, but on the same year he got the boat became romantically involved with a more successful actress named Thelma Todd, who spent a lot of time on the boat until she was suspiciously killed by carbon monoxide poisoning - found in the garage of Jewel Carmen. Conspirarcy theorists say she was murdered on the boat, and then moved to the garage.

Victims of CO gas will slowly be starved of oxygen, causing dizziness, memory loss, and irrational behavior until they pass out. So what if the boat actually became an artifact from the death of Thelma Todd and then activated on it's fateful journey? In some capacity the boat was activated (maybe one of the two child passengers found a carving of Thelma Todd's initials hidden on the boat and pressed it, for instance), and it begins to release quanities of CO.

Those aboard begin feeling dizzy, and the crew believes that the overworked starboard engine is releasing some sort of gas. They pile the mattresses all around the engine in an attempt to contain the leak, but no dice, the gas is leaking from the boat itself. People start collapsing, and perhaps an accident occurs to explain the bloody bandages in the doctors bag. In a last ditch attempt to get away from the gas leak, the few still conscious try to escape on the liferafts. Maybe a few of them make it.

But any who were left on the boat are now dead, and the boat, harboring the intent behind the death of Thelma Todd, scrubs itself of the evidence, including teleporting the bodies of the victims out to sea.
