Two boaters from the Tampa area were rescued Sunday morning off the coast of Collier County.
Naples Fire-Rescue says the report came in at 6:26 a.m. of a capsized sailboat about 4 and a half miles off Gordon Pass.
Both people on the boat were wearing an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB).
Fire Boat 1 and Fire Boat 50 with Marco Fire-Rescue responded after contact from the Coast Guard. The Key West Express was first on the scene, and Fire Boat 1 arrived shortly after, pulling both people from the sailboat. Neither were injured. They were taken back to Fire Station 1 to shower and warm up.
Naples Fire-Rescue says the boaters were heading to the Keys area where their family was camping. The Naples IAFF and FOP unions arranged for a hotel room and food money until the family could be reached.
