Family Becomes Stranded on Pace Picnic Island: Miami Fire Rescue

A grandfather and his three grandchildren were rescued after they became stranded on an island after their boat broke down Wednesday afternoon.

Officials said the family was supposed to be picked up by boat from the island, located off of Bayshore Drive and 21st Street when the boat would not start.

A Miami Fire Rescue boat went to pick up the family but it broke down. A Miami Police marine patrol also responded and took them to safety at Sea Isle Marina, located just behind the Marriott Hotel off of Northeast 16th Street and Bay Shore.
