Four stranded jet skiers were rescued by marine police 3 nautical miles north of Tynes Bay on Saturday.

At 2.20pm, Bermuda Radio received a call reporting two broken-down jet skis — one possibly capsized — about a mile east of Dockyard.

Bermuda Radio tried calling the jet-ski owner to get a more accurate position, while marine police boats Rescue One and Heron Two started searching the area.

“Bermuda Radio commenced a radio broadcast to all vessels in the vicinity of Dockyard, Spanish Point or North Shore having possibly sighted two purple jet skis reported in distress,” Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre said.

Rescue One continued its search eastward and found one jet ski adrift and a second with four people in the water, north of Tyne’s Bay.

Rescue One and Heron Two recovered all the people in the water and towed both the jet skis back to Dockyard.

In a separate incident, two jet skis collided near Pompano at about 12.52pm on Saturday with one man suffering back injuries.

He was taken to Robinson’s Marina by boat and marine police have started an investigation.

BMOC also received a call at 12.32am on Saturday from a concerned mother whose son, 4, had gone fishing with his father, possibly out of Mill Creek.

The mother was unable to confirm the name of the boat or where they would normally fish.

Following a check, the vessel was identified. Bermuda Radio started radio calls to the vessel and any others with information on their whereabouts and the boat was later seen and reported as safe.

The report said: “This case highlights the importance of filing a float plan, with accurate boat information and destination details, and having vessel information correctly registered.”
