The Coast Guard is continuing its search for two boaters who disappeared after they left Miami over the weekend on a Bahamas-bound fishing trip.

Rich Alesia and Edwin Pritchard, both 30, left Haulover Inlet on Saturday, en route to Bimini in an 18-foot boat.

When the two men didn't show up in the Bahamas on Sunday, family members contacted the authorities.

Three aircraft and four Coast Guard vessels are currently searching for Alesia and Pritchard.

The pair's boat is a Key Largo, white with a green-blue stripe.

Anyone with information about their disappearance is asked to call the Coast Guard at 305-415-6800.
