Four people who were aboard a 23 foot boat that took on water near Key Largo Florida on Saturday that capsized in the ocean when a stranger and employees of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) answered the emergency call from the Islamorada Station to rescue the captain of the vessel.
A stranger who was in the ocean used his boat to rescue the three passengers who were in the water.
Emergency crews took the four passengers to John Kennekamp Coral Reef State Park. The good news is that no one was hurt in the accident.
Excellent work from the USCG and the stranger to rescue the four passengers who were in the ocean safe and sound.

Lucky they got rescued but I still say it if you cannot handle a boat don't go out on the water,

I wonder why their boat took water and capsized. Perhaps its seaworthiness was not properly assessed before going out. They were fortunate to be saved.

Most likely the vessel was not checked properly.;
