An aircrew aboard an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter was deployed Sunday and was able to spot the two men who were waving their arms from the water about four miles off the coast of Jekyll Island, the Coast Guard said in a press release. One man was sitting on top of the capsized 16-foot boat, and the other was in the water when the crew arrived.

Both men were successfully pulled out of the water by the Coast Guard and were later seen by medical personnel, officials said. Neither boater was reported injured.

“The southeast is prone to powerful storms that aren’t predictable and are capable of capsizing smaller vessels," said Lt. Tucker Williams, Air Station Savannah's public affairs officer. "We recommend all mariners carry a radio, flares and other distress signals in case they encounter an unexpected situation.”
