2 Men Rescued After Boat Capsizes Near Miami

Authorities say two boaters are safe after being pulled from the water south of Elliott Key near Miami.

The Miami Herald reports three men were in a 16-foot skiff fishing boat that started taking on water around 1 a.m. Monday. They all ended up in the water. One man swam to land and flagged down other boaters who called for help.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue sent a chopper crew, which found the missing men. They were taken to Homestead Bayfront Park Marina where they were checked out and released.

No further details were immediately available.
