According to VSAR, the passengers were located quickly after their boat had mechanical issues and was unable to operate.
The passengers were transferred to the search boat and crews attached a tow line connecting the two vessels. After a calm ride back to shore, the ground team assisted in docking the immobile boat.
“This was our first boat task of the year and we could not have asked for a more perfect scenario or for nicer subjects,” VSAR said in a statement.
