Because the owners put their holiday first. They've lost a day of their schedule and been unable to go in the main saloon area in case they catch anything from the migrants. Now everything has to be cleaned. They're tangled up in a legal case which requires statements to be taken and possibly a future court appearance and lots of fussing by the owner's lawyers. This is the opposite of what they want from their boat. They buy it for non stop pampering, having everything just the way they want it, the full Louis XIV experience. It costs hundreds of grand per day. So I guarantee that superyacht captains try to stay well clear of migrant boats. (I worked on one.)
