No injuries were reported in the incident, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard made its way to area and found the 30-foot recreational boat taking on water near the Forked River and were able to get the four men and the canine off the sinking vessel and into their rescue boat, officials said.“The boat’s owner believes the boat was taking on water due to a loose plug, but the compartment was not accessible to confirm,” Chief Warrant Officer James B. Corbisiero, Coast Guard Station Barnegat Light’s commanding officer, said in a statement.
The Coast Guard crew took the rescued people and dog into a marina in nearby Lanoka Harbor, authorities said. None of them were injured. A commercial salvage company righted the boat and towed it into the same marina, the Coast Guard said.
