Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office (HCSO) police officers answered an emergency call from boaters who were stranded in the ocean around twilight on Tuesday evening when the boat was taking on water, no power and the ability to return to shore safely.
The HCSO had their Marine Enforcement Section rescue the passengers who were aboard the boat by getting them into their rescue boat and work with SeaTow to remove the boat that was taking on water to shore.
The passengers aboard the boat that took on water were taken by the HCSO deputies to the Williams Boat Ramp safely.

Glad they are all safe now. I am so afraid of the water but would love to go out on a sailboat sometime.

I'm glad the passengers were rescued. I would be terrified to be in a boat taking on water in the dark.

I would be scared as well if I was aboard a boat that took on water.
