The U.S. Coast Guard rescued three people after their boat capsized near Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale over the weekend.
A good Samaritan had alerted the Coast Guard after the 18-foot vessel began taking on water about a mile east of Port Everglades around 6 p.m. Saturday.
When the Coast Guard arrived, the three people were hanging on to the hull of the boat, officials said.
A photo released by the Coast Guard showed the boat flipped over in the ocean.
