The U.S. Coast Guard announced Monday that it rescued several people from a boat off Palm Beach County.
The Coast Guard said its Lake Worth Inlet boat crew rescued seven people from a 61-foot sport fisher taking on water.
According to the Coast Guard, the fishing boat captain grounded the vessel on Peanut Island to prevent further flooding and called for help on Channel 16.
The Coast Guard said a commercial salvage company is working to dewater and remove the vessel, so the boat does not pose any hazards to navigation.
“This is a testament to the importance of having proper communication equipment, safety devices and staying calm allowing for a successful rescue evolution,” the Coast Guard said in a statement.
