RCIPS confirmed Monday (16) morning they had received a report shortly after 5.00pm Sunday that a 52 foot motor yacht was taking on water off Bobby Cay. Although the Joint Marine Unit began making its way to the location, a DoE vessel that was nearby was first on the scene and was able to safely remove all of the people from the boat.

The people on the pleasure boat comprised 10 of which two were infants.

We will advise more when we obtain an update.
