WSVN reported that four people were rescued after their 26-foot catamaran capsized in the Florida Keys. The incident occurred about five miles south of Boot Key Harbor, where the passengers were left clinging to the hull of the overturned vessel.

The boaters had a marine radio on board and were able to call for help, leading to their safe rescue. No injuries were reported among those involved in the incident.

The Coast Guard reminded boaters to check the Marine Forecast before heading out, especially with a small craft advisory in effect. This advice aims to prevent similar incidents and ensure safety on the water in the Keys.

This event highlights the importance of preparedness and communication tools for boaters in the Miami area and surrounding waters.
