COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. — The U.S. Coast Guard says they have located a 21-foot vessel that was "overdue" at the Collier County Boat Ramp.
Collier deputies said the boat was due to return at the ramp about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday but had not, and that family had not heard from the three passengers, whom they said were on a fishing trip.
Coast Guard officials said a family member had received a text message saying the boat had "hit some bad weather" before losing contact.
A search helicopter from Clearwater assisted in locating the boat, which was found anchored and disabled. The three people aboard had no serious injuries.
