A SeaKey member while cruising the Bahamas encountered a vessel in distress that starting taking on water. The SK Member activated his SOS button and the Response Center jumped into action. The US Coast Guard Station in Miami was notified, including the location of vessel. The Officer at the station confirmed that the nearest station to the vessels location had been dispatched and the Bahamian officials had also been notified.

SeaKey continued monitoring our member’s location; which became the life-line for the distressed vessel and its rescue. A USCG Search & Rescue helicopter assisted the vessel, including extra pumps to help keep the distressed vessel afloat. Not only did our SeaKey Samaritans, call for help they stayed to ensure the occupants safely made it ashore.
