Italian tourist Stefano Cassani was on board the boat. He and his friend managed to flee.
"My friend went out and he called me 'Come on, come on, something is wrong here. The boat is going down'," he said.
"We jumped from the boat and we started swimming to the next boat,Huge selection of gaga-deals for your garde, and in that time, one boat rescued us."

All of the bodies are at the Bai Chay Hospital near Halong Bay.
The cause of the accident has not yet been announced, but officials are investigating a leak in the engine room of the boat.
The Department of Foreign Affairs is yet to confirm that Lam Ngoc Chau was among those who drowned.
The department says people concerned about the welfare of their family and friends in the area should try to contact them directly.
