U.S. Coast Guard and Puerto Rico Police Rescue CBP Agents and Boaters After Capsize Incident
A dramatic rescue operation was conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard and Puerto Rico Police on April 2, following reports of a capsized boat off Isla de Cabras in San Juan Bay. The incident involved a 22-foot boat that capsized, with two individuals clinging to its hull. A Good Samaritan alerted the authorities, prompting a response from a Coast Guard boat, a Jayhawk helicopter, a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) marine unit, and a Puerto Rico Police helicopter. During the rescue attempt, the CBP marine unit also capsized due to 10-foot swells, throwing three agents into the water. The Coast Guard helicopter successfully rescued one CBP agent and one individual from the boat, while a rescue swimmer retrieved the remaining two agents and the other person. All five individuals were safely transported to shore and treated for minor injuries. The circumstances of the capsizing are under investigation.
