Detective Sergeant Mark Bamber said “We believe that the boat came into the area yesterday and entered the water in Conwy. The boat is called Phoenix Hardy.
“We are appealing for the owners or the people who have any knowledge of the boat to contact North Wales Police on 101 quoting reference number A039123.”
Police appear to have used police tape to corden off the boat, which is now positioned on Colwyn Bay beach.
RNLI lifeboat Llandudno reported that searches of the bay to ascertain whether unknown casualties may have entered the water were inconclusive.
A spokesperson for the RNLI lifeboat Llandudno said: "An attempt was made to refloat the cruiser with a plan to tow it to Rhos Marina. However, this was unsuccessful, at which point the ILB was stood down and returned to Llandudno Lifeboat Station."
