This footage was filmed and produced 7 January 2023.

The two boaters were reportedly fishing for Mahi, otherwise known as the common dolphinfish, when a swell came over the bow of the 25-foot vessel Vida Azul which made it capsise and tipped the men into the water.
The Coast Guard aircrew successfully located the two, identified as Stephen McGrath, 54, and Tyler Penfield, 25, in the water.

They guided the Coast Guard boat crew to their position, who then pulled them to safety using lines approximately seven miles northeast of San Juan, in Puerto Rico.

They said that despite the treacherous conditions, the two people rescued were well-equipped and holding on to multiple lifejackets and a life ring when rescued.

The video shows the moment USA Coast Guard surface and aircrews rescue two boaters from a capsized vessel approximately seven miles northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, as reported on Saturday, Jan. 7.
