A U.S. Coast Guard crew rescued four people from the bay Saturday after their 18-foot boat sank near Bayboro Harbor in St. Petersburg.
A photo showed the boaters awaiting rescue while floating in the water. While three of them were wearing life vests, a fourth person without a flotation device could be seen clinging to the other boaters.
Authorities said all four people were safely pulled from the water. Two of them were taken on a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office boat to meet up with St. Pete Fire Rescue at St. Pete Municipal Marina.
The U.S. Coast Guard said crews also managed to salvage the boaters’ sunken vessel. Officials did not state what might have caused the boat to sink.
